UPS Driving School part 3 "THE TRUTH"

[@ososharp950]

I’m a ups driver and you pretty much nailed it on what really happens , as for me I’ve been a helper ever since I fell behind 3 hours my first day out driving it’s been 3 months and still haven’t reached seniority

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

Thanks you a lot of ups people are kinda attacking me over this video. But people that are not already on with ups need to now how they treat off the street hires if you dont have someone to help you in. They have done a lot of good people dirty with the probation process.

[@3fiddy2720]

Fl_ATV_ Riders ur correct they treat people shitty. But they don’t make people drive in their vehicle here.

[@Chiefsfan98]

I was hired as a off the streets driver. Passed intergrad and I quit after my first day. It was the most difficult, stressful job I ever had. My trainer was terrible. He talked shit on me and never showed me anything. He told me by day two I better know how to do everything and know my route like the back of my hand otherwise I would be fired. He was also a supervisor so that goes to show you how they treat off the street hires.

[@joeblevins2595]

i have been a sales rep for frito-lay for 17 years. i applied at UPS and got offered a seasonal driver position and am scheduled to go to inagrad school in 2 weeks. was gonna take a chance on them keeping me on but after your video have decided not to leave! thx! think you saved me from a big disaster career move!

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

Im not saying all management is like this but in my area they treat new hires like shit. I worked for sysco for 6 yrs which is very high passed. Iv done every position including training people and have never seen a company put so little into training when they are so big. Intergrad is a joke as far as preparing you for on road its all about diad and HR training very little behind the wheel. They need more on the job training by qualified people. I have done pepperidge farm vending with my family since i was 16 and can tell you UPS is nothing like that.

Sorry to hear they nailed you with on demands. I just finished my first week of driving. My on road sup only rode two and a half days with me. I did get one on demand on my fourth day and he sent a reminder note to my diad when I was a block from the stop. I had to call the center tho to get instructions on how to clear the stop from my board. I have been doing something like 190 stops on heavy days including my pickups and there’s around two dozen pickups on my training route. I haven’t been able to get off all of my stops before pickups so I have to make sure to get my business stops off, do pickups, drop of any airs and internationals at the center, then go out and finish the residential stops. I am getting close to getting off all of the deliveries before pickups but maybe in another week I’ll get the area dialed in. My center manager and on road sup are decent guys. They actually seem to want me to succeed. I seem to be treated better at my local ups better than when I was a Fedex Ground driver.... the work in harder, but I get treated better at ups. Also, I got forced into doing Saturday airs this Saturday, and it actually was fun. Hardly any packages to deliver and it was all purely overtime since it was my sixth day on the job. Easy money... oh.... and orion is really frustrating at times

[@YuukitheMighty1]

17 on demand pickups is ridiculous. I feel like you were set up for failure from the jump. I'm almost done with my 30 day packet and at most I've had 3 on demands and they were close together. My first week I had between 100-110 stops, but by my second week alone I had 140 to 160 stops including pickups. You have to kiss management's ass, skip breaks, and cut corners (while being safe).

[@beavismcdeavis142]

How did you start out driving without pre loading first? My hub almost every one starts out part time pre load and temp drives from summer to January or delivers air until you can get a full time delivery job. People definitely fail driving school but you just go back to pre load because you’re in the union.

[@nordy1999]

UPS is suppose to do a 3 in 1 out system. 3 people from within the company (preload/any other position) then 1 street hire. Most of the time they don't but we have 2 drivers at my center that were street hires. I would assume big hubs do it more frequently but I'm not sure.

In my area you done the pre trip when you first get in the truck to leave. Pull up about 5ft so you can go all the way around the truck. This is why you need to be fast at pre trips. Your first 2-3 days a sup will be riding with you don't expect much from them.

No I did on my second week they flipped me routes 3 different times in a week

[@PapiLoveCrypto]

@fl_atv_riders4455 ugh thats horrible and so soon. Last test would be peak season for december when your stops go to 350 and you can't see more than a few inches inside your truck. Always fun. While i would agree any starting position has to be the hardest experience in nearly any job that i know of outside of the military, the rewards after all that is not bad. I've been at ups since i was 17 am 34 now in feeders division. Even the training for tractor trailers is nearly non existant...so dangerous, give us 2 weeks to master a tractor trailer from scratch while normaly it should be a few months for most 😅. The tough training while horrible also builds a strong attention to detail and problem solving skills...best thing any new hire can do is constantly ask questions and call supervisor for any little thing you're not sure of. Never lie about a mistake or hide it. Also you can fail but try again after a few months. For those with no education or any real plans for the future ups can be a great and rewarding career. In the end doesn't matter what job one has but what one does with the money they earn. Save, invest into crypto, stocks real estate etc...the goal should be to increase income > increase investments > increase passive income > reach financial freedom > live the life you want to live.

I have an offer to from UPS to be a cover driver. I’m being told by HR I will drive solid 6 months of the year for sure they other time I will be a package handler when not driving. I currently have a job as a concrete dispatcher making 50K a year. Is it dumb of me to take this offer?

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

If you are a dispatch not having to really do much making 50k idk if it would be worth it. They work you to death in both area's and package handlers normally dont get many hrs.

[@coreymiller1396]

Fl_ATV_ Riders as a dispatcher my job is more mental stress then anything, along with that I’m taking phone calls from people placing orders. I think I would really enjoy the driving part but I’m struggling with the later evening hours. I currently start early am so I’m home by 4:30

[@coreymiller1396]

Fl_ATV_ Riders is the written test hard? It’s crazy that so much of it needs written out. I’m now hands on learning. I’m concerned about needing to memorize all of that word for word?

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

@@coreymiller1396 well as far as thinking you are going to a less stressful job that probably isnt true. This is probably the most stressful job I've ever had and it's very long hrs I and friends have worked from 8:30am to 11-12 at night during peak. As far as the test I am the same way very hands on and all I can say is study as soon as you get the 5 and 10s. They are worded stupid and can be difficult.

[@coreymiller1396]

Fl_ATV_ Riders I just really hate to turn down an opportunity bc of what I could be making 4 years from now. The pay increase is out of this word

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

@@chriskennedy8514 no I do not work there anymore. I started during the busy season and turned out they were only looking for 1 driver and hired 7 people. So moral of the story if your hired in a group odds are only one or none of you are going to make.

[@chriskennedy8514]

Fl_ATV_ Riders I was hired as a package handler a little over a month ago so I’ve been doing that. I signed a sheet for temp driving and they are sending me to Atlanta on Monday. That’s crazy that they hired more than they needed.

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

@@chriskennedy8514 From what a friend told me. They always hire more than needed because so many people fail the class or the probation period. In this case the 1 person they wanted failed the class so they put the rest of us in inpossible routes to train in, no one has ever passed 3 of the 6 routes and i was in one of the 3. You have better odds then my group because we were all hired off the street. If you fail just have to wait 6 months.

[@chriskennedy8514]

Fl_ATV_ Riders it’s only 6 months if I fail? I thought it was a year?

[@RC-dj8rp]

Hope my experience will be better. Tried Feeder but DQ'd. Haven't driven in about 2 years tho...would be good in a week or two but the training was BS and by trainer was an a hole... Trying Package Car now but upside is I have some seniority and have been in the Union so they can't just fire me. Working on my 5's and 10's before class. Not going to Integrad because they are doing Zoom due to Covid.

Ups traning = "throw them into the fire see if they survive "

[@simbafy]

You have a horrible idea of Ups you must be completely new. Your on route days you need to be taking notes, in integrad you should have had notes to begin with. Ask questions. And if u don’t make the 30 day you have to wait 6 months to try again. You got no clue what ur talking about. I just finished integrad and am going into my 30 days , but I’ve been there part time for 3 years. You must not ask questions. And the on demands are curve balls they want to stress you to see if u can adapt and move forward. It’s not an easy job just might not be for you. You take ur criticism and move forward. Take notes and take it smooth and slow. You have a very biased opinion and that’s obvious that u didn’t pay much attention or use your notes or ask as many questions as possible

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

I had a feeling Id get someone like you eventually comment. By the way I took notes had them with me the entire time, done everything like your supposed to. The reality is I was hired in a large group when only one person was wanted.

[@simbafy]

Fl_ATV_ Riders just don’t slander ups bc ur completely new and u didn’t make it. If u don’t make it all u gotta do is wait an amount of time and retry.

Ive worked for ups for 14 years and I have been paid for every sec! Anyone that says other wise is full of it! Yea its hard work! But we get paid bank!

[@Suhhdew]

First thing first is this video is making you sound very butthurt and just not making you look good at all. #2 anyone would have been failed for doing what you did. It’s called a service failure just like if you would have late air or missed business. Which I’m pretty sure you were exaggerating the work anyways. #3 they can throw whatever work or pickups on the route as long as it is still within the route area. So whatever info you got is incorrect. Only correct info you have is that during the 30 days, you are walking on eggshells because you can get disqualified but for only (safety reasons, service failures, production, telematics, or dishonesty). #4 unless you have a very weak union in your area, they cannot just disqualify anyone because they aren’t liked (if they do, the union would be able to appeal) lastly you mention they are screwing over hard workers which is impossible because management only cares about their numbers, so if someone is a hard worker and can produce those numbers for at least those 30 days, they will definitely want you on the team. Like another person commented. Some people are meant for the job and others aren’t, simple as that.

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

1st your not union until after your probation 2nd all they have to do is put you on a big route like had with tons of stops 3rd my supervisor told me they are not supposed to give people on their probation period any on demands because they know you will be behind. 4th 7 people hired 6 passed class all dq for questionable things. All routes where 150+ stops, all of the other drivers told those of us that new a few that none of us 6 was expected to pass.

[@Suhhdew]

Fl_ATV_ Riders so you were a off the street hire, you didn’t work in the hub before driving. That’s the only way you aren’t union.

[@fl_atv_riders4455]

Apparently you didn't listen very well they used on demands to dq me. When you already have over 150 stops not included 14 pickups and they start flooding you with on demands on your 7th day kinda fd up. I even talked to previous driver for that route and was told that they never used it as a training route because it was such a bad area. I was a street higher, all 6 of us that passed was hire by HR not managment only one was approved by management he failed the class. Listen before you speak.

Well I can tell you a few thing I see every single comment made on these videos I also see what times of the yr they are watched more and for the last two yrs Iv seen the same things Sept - Dec I average 67% more views than any other time of the year I also get 90% if my negative feedback on UPS as a company this time of the yr. I can also tell you that the vast majority of ups hubs will hire 2-3x more people then there are positions this time of yr. So call it blaming or whatever you want. But you may want to listen to the person that's lived it and been on the sh** end of the stick, just saying.
