The tractor trailers, we call them feeders, you have to drive package car first. Then it goes by seniority. Once you're a permanent package car driver, you would have to sign the bid list to go into feeders, and like I said, it goes by seniority. Realistically, it could take years, because feeder drivers don't retire often. I hope that helps.

If you’ve never had to scratch and crawl to grind so hard in your life, this job ain’t it for you. I’m telling you straight up. I did restaurant work for 10+ years and experienced homelessness twice before working at UPS. I’ll be 4 years come this January and hitting top scale. And I’m grateful for every moment of my life. Are there days where volume and weather and all the other factors you can’t control suck? Absolutely! If you have a weak poor low mindset, this isn’t it for you. A lot of the old timers I work with, I’ve learned it’s about the end game. Get in, do your time, and you’ll be fine. It’s a mindset. Also, I’m in my 30s with no kids no wife. So it makes absolutely 100% sense for me to get my bread. Do I miss out on potential partners/lovers? Sure, but that’s why there’s dating apps and people who know people. Lol I digress. Working at UPS will set you up long term. Work life balance is a challenge; sacrifices will need to be made. One last thing also, I think the biggest thing is taking care of your body and maintaining + prioritizing it should be #1. Health insurance is hands down the best. I get my nuts check, fertility tests, went to the ER only paid $25, CT scan free, get personal foot molds made by a podiatrist, chiro visits are cheap, I see my therapist once a week for $10 sessions, dental free, I mean you name it. I average about 25K steps a day and am in great shape. Times were tough during the pandemic and still is if you want to buy a house and live comfortably. If you find something better go for it. To each their own. I love what I do and don’t plan to leave. Heck if you leave, better for guys like me to move up in seniority. Woohoo yay! Thanks for the video. Keep it up.

The short answer to your question is typically no. Was that the only position that was open to apply for? If there's a TCD(temporary cover driver) position open, I would take that one instead. That means that you would be a permanent employee and after the peak season, you'll just work inside until they need you to drive again. It's been a very few instances where UPS will "keep" seasonal drivers, but you would have to be reclassified as a permanent employee. In those instances, the staffing situation probably warranted it. I hope this helps.

my first day after Labor Day as a part time package driver, so it might seem the most logical action to soak up as much YT content as possible to mentally be prepared for the for what awaits. however, each person situation is different, resulting in different perspectives, so instead I take this UPS experience as it comes and not allow the opinions of the internet strongly produce any influences or expectations. my perspective is considered short sighted due to my age (51) starting at the bottom of a company were seniority dictates the comfort level. I would span as Far as 1 yr. any more than that would be foolish as I do not have a foundation in the company to create anymore foresight, I guess as time goes on, I will develop a more concrete plan.

I’m a great hands on worker and was a loader for 5-6 months until I became supervisor so I think I’d be a good driver.

@@BrickedOutMedia well said, another way I put it too is that any blue collar work will be long hours but you’ll still be hourly and get great OT which helps get the best pay per year. I have a college degree in marketing but found what I don’t like to do which is sit at a desk or a computer, I don’t like sales, I want a break from customer service bc people are so rude usually, and I’m better off doing my own thing bc management at my last job were raunchy and I work better alone kinda. Most the people I work with in management are fine but higher up management in corporate companies are known for making things worse for others or are selfish. I also don’t enjoy training all the new hires we get a lot bc they either don’t show up, don’t have a good work ethic attitude, and are not intelligent or educated so it mentally is irritating a lot of times. I just don’t like dealing with people more and more as time goes on. I like hands on work a lot and I’ve also driven 16’ and 26’ non cdl trucks so I think I’d do okay.

Great video Bricked Out!👍 Couldn't have been better timing for KZbin to suggest your channel. I just left UPS after a 19 year career (YOU READ THAT RIGHT). 19 YEARS!!! Did 7 on preload, 12 FT in package and was an RPCD the last 7. I LOVED my route and my customers, one of the best in our center. Actually got married at one of my businesses. Never even thought for a second this wouldn't be my last job until retirement. Then 2019 happened... and of course like the rest of us Brown Dogs I sacked up and did my 60-70 hour weeks along with my brothers and sisters filing a grievance every week for nearly 1.5 years straight. *THAT* was their solution... just file because we can't fix anything. UPS lied the whole time about only delivering "critical shipments" and being "heroes" too. It was all Amazon garbage and furniture. I told myself I would never do that again. Afterwards things *almost* went back to normal for a bit. Routes and dispatch were getting standardized again but the mass layoffs started as expected. Then CAROL came and completely upended the company. She is to blame for all this new degraded UPS culture. Safety thrown out the window. People falling out, dying and crashing from heat injuries. Service an afterthought. Following ORION we consistently show up to business after 5 now. Some even at 6-7pm. "Just attempt it". Commercial accounts I've serviced happily for YEARS are now upset we show up at different times every day, or miss them 2-3 days a week. MGMT will then tell you ORION is a GUIDE not an absolute, but the next day at the PCM "you have to hit 95% ORION". Are we supposed to be doing math at every stop too? This company has become a poorly run sloppy joke. Injuries and service failures abound. UPS has been crippled by their own bad technology deals and poor leadership that has never done the work in their career. With what's going on in the world, they can and will use the same excuses to go back to bending DOT rules and screwing over workers. The union, unfortunately, isn't what it used to be either. In my area at least, there isn't much backbone. Definitely not like back east. It seems the union's primary job now is to protect the worst workers among you while taking money from your paycheck. I don't want to come off as ungrateful, because the work I put into UPS in my younger days really afforded me everything I was able to do up to this point. "THE GOLDEN HANDCUFFS". It was nearly impossible to leave, but eventually the choice was coming down to my mental & physical health or lots of money. I would say it's a young mans game now, NOT a career. Get in get the money get some skills and progress. Unless you are ready to accept permanent injuries, health problems, and never seeing your family as part of the job now. UPS *was* a great company to work for when I started, but it's not the 90's anymore. The trajectory this company is headed on is NOT a good one. It's a race to the bottom with Amazon. Even if the board canned Carol today, it would take years to fix the system again. I used to ridicule folks who would said Amazon is going to buy-out UPS and takeover, or bring up the old "FED-UPS" joke, but now with Carol at the helm I'm not so sure anymore. The way Carol is gutting the company and service UPS is headed for some serious turbulence and I would go as far to say as it seems she is setting up the company for a merger or sellout eventually. I just started an in-depth video of UPS past & present for our channel and it's turning into quite the project. If you ever want to do a short video or guest collab on this topic, I'd be down to hop on a stream or do some video replies and you can use it on Bricked Out Media. This really isn't my niche but I feel compelled to talk on it like you because lots of young folks looking for jobs need this info.
