How To Become A UPS Driver The Fastest Way in 2024!

[@KayBee25]

Currently working out of the okc hub; this job is a different beast 😂 Been here 10 months and have seen a lot of people come and go.

[@BrickedOutMedia]

Yeah!! Thanks for your comment. This job isn't for everybody, however if you can swing it, it's rewarding!!

Could I become a air driver and maneuver to a FT driver?

[@user-pl1ql4eo9s]

I applied for a seasonal position.I'm doing the ups university now, my driving test is tomorrow. I plan on applying for a permanent position once the season is over.

[@BrickedOutMedia]

Good luck on your driving test! Safety is imperative over everything else. Good luck on the peak season, and cheers to you finding a permanent position once peak is over. Keep me posted on your progress!!

Same as well

If your interested in becoming a UPS driver hire off the street. Check with the U.P.S. personnel hiring manager for that area each month . Also ask the Union for the current hiring status numbers. The previous ratios i think was to promote hiring from in the building 7 part timers to one person off the street application. Although if no part timers from inside the building apply for the job then they could hire people straight off the street. Keep in mind this information is from 50yrs ago .

[@BrickedOutMedia]

Ok, 50 years ago?? Wow. Very outdated. The hiring practices are even different from just 10 years ago. The ratios sound good and all, but find me a building that doesn't have part timers who want to drive.......

@@BrickedOutMediaexactly if they did this at my warehouse there’d be 1000 grievances lol. Everybody wants to drive but no one wants to work for it. If you could just hire in as a driver they would never have people in the warehouse.

Im happy starting my warehouse job ups Sept 9 it will be my 2nd job so it part time I will work my way up to be ups driver if possible then i could leave my other job 🎉😢

[@BrickedOutMedia]

Congrats and good luck with everything, keep me posted!

Been a delivery driver for fedex and Amazon for 5 years. I’m DOT ready. Still can’t get an ups job. They won’t hire off the street near me and they want me in the warehouse first.

[@BrickedOutMedia]

Ok OK. Do you want to become a UPS driver? If so, it's worth it to work in the warehouse first. You'll have to hustle maybe another part time gig or job, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Good luck!!

​@BrickedOutMedia when does ups usually hire package handler cause I've been looking everyday since beginning of January

[@BrickedOutMedia]

@@giants3545 just keep monitoring. It varies from facility to facility and it’s based on the staffing situation at the particular facility. Just be vigilant in your quest. And possibly sign up for alerts so you can know first. Good luck!

[@junetv4254]

You think they are going to need more driver in the future for the warehouse worker who’s been waiting for a driver position?

[@BrickedOutMedia]

@@rm4786 good for you. We all have choices.

[@FlyyHigh834]

why are the package handler positions always only part time

[@BrickedOutMedia]

Good question. Because none of the sorts run more than 4-5 hours. Preload, day sort, night sort, twilight, etc., it's several sorts throughout the day. Also, they normally have 1-3 hours or more gaps between them.

[@thealexander601]

Great info 🔥🔥

[@BrickedOutMedia]

Appreciate it!

[@j5golive796]

Perfect you said you in Houston right? I'm finna be moving that way soon and definitely need to speak to someone about getting in at UPS.

[@BrickedOutMedia]

I've seen that recently they've hired new people for the warehouse for the twilight (late evening) shift. Keep up with the job postings and apply when you see them available. Good Luck!
