We finish when the last package is dropped off and go home. 9.9/10 times I eat while driving (carefully of course)because the more I stop the later I get home. Some days I don't eat but that's lack of preparation on my part.

[@Automedon2]

@@RichieB40444 Well, I tell you, being the runner was an ass buster. This was the days before tech, when you had to manually write the info about each package as you were trotting to the door. No bar codes or scanners. This was also in Florida, where even in December it was pretty hot. I don't know how the drivers worked in the middle of summer. The guy I worked with was in his early 40s and his knees were shot from jumping in and out of the truck all day. I don't know how the trucks are nowadays, but these were the days of the cool vintage looking trucks built especially for UPS. Hard seat, no AC. They must have destroyed all those trucks because I never saw any that made it to the market after they retired that style. This was in the early 80s, BTW. A cool tidbit too was the route was on Longboat Key - a wealthy part of Sarasota and we had several celebrities on the route, including Lucille Ball. Greg Allman's girlfriend, some famous writers, artists and New York TV producers had winter homes on the route too. The drivers couldn't bring the truck back until it was empty, so sometimes we were still working at 10pm and then he'd have to call in and if there were any other drivers having trouble, we'd have to go and help them finish their route. They had just started hiring female drivers and sometimes we'd get there and the woman was in tears - that's how stressful it was. I had worked on a horse farm since I was a kid, so I was used to hard work but it couldn't have been easy for the drivers just coming on board. USP in those days was so image conscious, that even being a season worker required several steps, like a process of elimination and you had to wear a shirt and tie for the interviews - hair cut short, no facial hair. It was a process of elimination and I felt pretty proud to get the gig. Anyway, though it was a short seasonal gig, I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@velvetrooster5569]

UPS in 2022 here’s the thing I worked for UPS in 2020 to you, sir, off as either a loader or an unloaded. This is fucking difficult because they want you moving over 300 packages per hour and when you realize the packages can be small or you can pick them up in your hand without thinking about it or they can be big and gigantic and heavy, and they come in random order so that’s difficult to stay at a minimum of 300 boxes per hour being unloaded or being loaded into the truck. First thing you have to know if you’re going to get a job at UPS is that they advertise $20 an hour for new employees. When you get hired they’re going to tell you that they’re actually going to pay you $15 an hour, second that you Gotta know is that they won’t only ever hire people part time. You have to be there for a while and you have to request full-time work know it’s important to know that part time is a three hour shift, which is an average shift at UPS. If you work full-time, they will be putting you on two shifts per day, so you might get a morning shift and the afternoon shift or you might get the afternoon shift and the late shift but if you’re working full time do you have to be there for a while before you can be accepted for full-time and then you’ll be working 23 hour shifts or 3 1/2 hour shifts, depending on how many packages they have that day. Another thing you have to know about working at UPS is that you have to bid for your jobs and it’s difficult to bid for a job that a lot of people want because the person that’s been there the longest a.k.a. the person with the most seniority is the one that’s going to get the job every time so it may take you under a year to get the delivery driver job but that rarely ever happens. It usually takes about 2 1/2 three or four years for the average person to get a UPS delivery driver job I worked at UPS for about a month And I hated it the entire time I cannot honestly recommend that job the fact that their website and their application says hiring at $20 per hour and then they don’t tell you that it’s $15 per hour till after you start your orientation on your first day of work is really shitty. UPS is a teamster union protected working environment but there are some things that are still incredibly shitty about UPS like I said hiring for $20 an hour and having 25 people show up for the first day of work expecting $20 an hour and then being told that we’re only actually going to get $15 an hour is really shitty. No that’s about three hours a day for five days in a row sometimes 3 1/2 hours depends on how many boxes they have to move through the warehouse that day but that’s about it 300 or $350 a paycheck for an average of at least 30 hours pay period a.k.a. every 2 weeks. So just remember this the next time you think about going to work for UPS because fuck that company also they have lost every single package or failed to deliver every single package I have ever ordered in my current residence, so yeah, fuck the delivery driver to.

To put it in perspective, I have my BSN. Currently starting out working 12hr shifts at night. Base Pay is 39 and change. With Night Shift differential I’m starting at $42-43 an hour.

Not to mention the OT you get which adds up overtime. All you need is a high school diploma/GED. In my eyes, it seems worth it while you work on other stuff in life.

I've had two motorcycle accidents with multiple broken bones and it didn't cost me one cent in medical bills. Plus you can get paid by the union while you're out of work. Plus paid vacations. I've been driving for almost 20 years and I've rolled some vacations, but I've got like 9 weeks next year. There are down sides to the job, but not enough to make any of us quit. Oh yeah.

Worked for UPS for 7 years in Vegas and LA. Before they installed GPS trackers on the trucks, knew a guy in Vegas who had a big route with lots of driving to outlying towns around there, Boulder City and small towns near there. His route due to drive time was calculated to be 8 1/2 hours but somehow the guy never worked more than 5 and golfed 2-3 hours a day every day. He’d just park the truck after he finished his deliveries, lock it up and go golfing.

[@JoseP-hj5zo]

Let’s hear for our delivery drivers that bring packages to our homes especially during this merry season 🍻

[@velvetrooster5569]

UPS in 2022 here’s the thing I worked for UPS in 2020 to you, sir, off as either a loader or an unloaded. This is fucking difficult because they want you moving over 300 packages per hour and when you realize the packages can be small or you can pick them up in your hand without thinking about it or they can be big and gigantic and heavy, and they come in random order so that’s difficult to stay at a minimum of 300 boxes per hour being unloaded or being loaded into the truck. First thing you have to know if you’re going to get a job at UPS is that they advertise $20 an hour for new employees. When you get hired they’re going to tell you that they’re actually going to pay you $15 an hour, second that you Gotta know is that they won’t only ever hire people part time. You have to be there for a while and you have to request full-time work know it’s important to know that part time is a three hour shift, which is an average shift at UPS. If you work full-time, they will be putting you on two shifts per day, so you might get a morning shift and the afternoon shift or you might get the afternoon shift and the late shift but if you’re working full time do you have to be there for a while before you can be accepted for full-time and then you’ll be working 23 hour shifts or 3 1/2 hour shifts, depending on how many packages they have that day. Another thing you have to know about working at UPS is that you have to bid for your jobs and it’s difficult to bid for a job that a lot of people want because the person that’s been there the longest a.k.a. the person with the most seniority is the one that’s going to get the job every time so it may take you under a year to get the delivery driver job but that rarely ever happens. It usually takes about 2 1/2 three or four years for the average person to get a UPS delivery driver job I worked at UPS for about a month And I hated it the entire time I cannot honestly recommend that job the fact that their website and their application says hiring at $20 per hour and then they don’t tell you that it’s $15 per hour till after you start your orientation on your first day of work is really shitty. UPS is a teamster union protected working environment but there are some things that are still incredibly shitty about UPS like I said hiring for $20 an hour and having 25 people show up for the first day of work expecting $20 an hour and then being told that we’re only actually going to get $15 an hour is really shitty. No that’s about three hours a day for five days in a row sometimes 3 1/2 hours depends on how many boxes they have to move through the warehouse that day but that’s about it 300 or $350 a paycheck for an average of at least 30 hours pay period a.k.a. every 2 weeks. So just remember this the next time you think about going to work for UPS because fuck that company also they have lost every single package or failed to deliver every single package I have ever ordered in my current residence, so yeah, fuck the delivery driver to.

[@velvetrooster5569]

Go fuck yourself. Delivery drivers are over paid for a cushion of a job. Let’s hear it for the people that load the trucks every day moving 400 boxes an hour and you don’t even have that many boxes on the delivery truck. Oh I get you have to drive a certain route and that takes a certain amount of time but you get to sit down in the chair while you’re driving the people back at the warehouse loading the trucks are sweating their ass off in a hot ass trailer loading nearly 400 boxes per hour, I’ve done this job there is a tough fucking job. The delivery driver has it so fucking easy and he’s so over paid for the amount of work that he does while the intro job at UPS is loading a fucking truck 400 boxes per hour and when they are you they promise you’re going to get $20 an hour but when you show up on the first day of work they say all we’re only going to pay you $15 per hour, those are some of the hardest working people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with they’re good people, but my fucking God is loading a UPS truck fucking difficult at all hell. Not only that but this guy makes nearly $40 an hour driving a delivery truck for eight hours a day ad being a truck loader at UPS only paid $15 for a maximum of 3 1/2 hours a day so fuck you delivery driver. Fuck you delivery driver, give it up to the people that are willing to stay and be a truck loader at UPS to make sure your packages get delivered to the right place. Yes that is the real difficult job at UPS and I know because I worked there doing that job and I went out and got a better job. It’s because before I went to UPS I had a $12 an hour 40 hours per week job that paid twice as much as I was getting at UPS when it came time for paychecks. That was $15 an hour for three hours a day five days a week and a two week pay. Which made me usually between 300 or $350 a pay check at UPS versus by $12 per hour job 40 hours per week which paid me nearly $850 each paycheck. So the reality is that I was making more money for $12 an hour then I was for $15 an hour and I was working an easier job for $12 an hour and I was working my ass off that made me sweaty tired and sore every single day that I worked at UPS for only $15 an hour and a $300 paycheck 2 weeks.

Cdl is were it's at, and I don't have to haul packages , but it's a good job tho

At my building you can go full-time from part time in less than a year if you take a 22.4 but everything else the wait is over 10 years.

He didn’t even mention the crazy good health benefits that come with working with them.

Brother works a ton a of forced overtime as a driver. Its good pay, but he hates it. There's also no AC in the trucks, so if you live in a really hot area (its gets in the 100s where we live) it can be miserable.

My UPS and Fed Ex drivers tell me, :I get paid to stay in shape" hahaha so true

Superhuman for what they put up with. I could never do it I'd snap.

Some of these drivers after they get top pay here in nyc are making $1000 alone on one day when they’re delivering on the holidays because of holiday pay it’s actually crazy I’m a helper and the driver’s tell me how the company works its all about seniority

[@ebk136]

And the overtime is from scratching meaning staying on the road for too long for the route you’re doing but you could always use excuses like traffic or waiting on pickups that aren’t ready and whatnot

[@taylormade4049]

Scratching means ur beating the estimated return to building time

[@anthonymoore4000]

Bro I was a driver helper a couple years ago it’s fun hearing all the stories the drivers tell and I always got to go with different drivers on different routes it was awesome I’m thinking about doing it again this year because I’m in school again

[@ebk136]

@@taylormade4049 oh i got it mixed up then but you know what I mean it’s funny how you could literally be on route a whole hour late and call your supervisor and tell them you’re on the road still because you’re stuck behind a garbage truck lmfao

[@ebk136]

@@anthonymoore4000 it’s worth it , I’ve only had different drivers because my driver was on vacation or I was late my main driver has a commercial route and I’m easily doing like 8-10 hours a day and after this Friday I’m doing 6 days a week when I was doing 4 previously
