UPS Package Handler || 5 things to consider

[@Elbanjomon]

As a part-time supervisor to package handlers at UPS, it is very important to me to get to know my loaders. What do they do on their spare time, where do they see themselves in 1-5 years, what are their goals in the future. When you get to know your employees, not only can you see how well they work, but you can create relationships with them that can ultimately better your life as well as theirs, and then they will want to work for you and do better for UPS. A supervisor can make or break an employee, defining the morale and expectations of their employees while executing the goals and aspirations of the company.

[@MicahSimpson]

Hey that’s great! Thanks for being a leader who cares about employees, we need more like you!

[@almightywalk]

Exactly my supervisor is the reason I want to quit now , after 1 month 😂I’m a preloader , but he’s been having me unload the trucks every since I got there. Just because I’m good at it smh.

[@Elbanjomon]

@@almightywalk that’s a good thing man. You’re reliable and good at your job. That is something I really like in my employees. If you want to stick with UPS, you have a good chance to move up in the company and become supervisor. Showing initiative and being good at your job is how your boss can vouch for you. It sucks, but it’s very good, please keep it up

[@MicahSimpson]

@@almightywalk Yeah I noticed the sups gave the harder jobs and drops to the guys who worked hard and did'nt complain...

[@almightywalk]

@@Elbanjomon I understand , but at the end of the day we are all human and at some point we break. I almost fainted & had to leave early last week while throwing a truck. And all my supervisor could say was “you good?” “are you coming back?” He has me throwing 3-4 trucks DAILY with another guy and if he’s not there I’m on my own. He expects us to deliver everyday since we’ve got there. They even told us whenever they hire new people we come out of the trailers but they’ve hired 3 more people since and we’re still in the same spot and they’re preloading. It’s not fair, at least rotate us. My supervisor even said one of the new guys looks like he’s 10 yrs old so he hasn’t been called in much just because of that.

[@artieedwards]

I appreciate your straightforward review of the UPS package handler position. No frills, no thrills! I think your video will really help folks make a beneficial decision as to whether they sign on. Thank you for keeping it real!

[@MicahSimpson]

Thanks Art, appreciate it buddy 👊🏻

[@mattharty2421]

This video is very accurate. Everything he says in the video is true. The only thing he left out is that the company demands a lot! From basic starter jobs all the way through being a driver and a supervisor. I always think of it this way… “I would recommend it to anyone, but it’s not for everyone.” It’s an honest living, but also very hard work.

[@LACHIVA1969]

I've been working for UPS for a couple of weeks now and I've noticed that most people that are busting their asses is because they deinitely suffer from anxiety. I have not had a single supervisor tell me that I'm too slow. I take my time to see the label and put it in the right belt (Sorting), if I'm unloading a truck I make sure I set the package so the laser can scan it and the sorters can see the label before the box gets to them to make their job easier. Meanwhile, there are other workers that are throwing packages as if they're running a sprint. Unnecesary burning of energy and ledas to mistakes and broken packages while there's no one rushing to be quick. Sometimes they pull packages from the middle to have all packages on top fall, I just stay back knowing some of those packages can crack your head or break your neck. I take my time and unload from the top and continue down to the middle and them move to the other side and unload completely like the instructions on the video say. NO ONE IS RUSHING YOU, STOP BURNING UNNECESSARY ENERGY, RUSHING LEADS TO INURIES AND MISTAKES, TAKE YOUR TIME AND DO A GOOD JOB SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THE SAME JOB TWICE.

[@Evangelionism]

Thanks for the helpful information! I got my second interview out the way and hope I get hired. The UPS here in Concord, ON provides tuition coverage ($27,000) per year for students in addition to up to $900 for books and materials per year. I'm going to work hard to show my gratitude!

[@davidvong3943]

I remember watching your other video… helper in Hawaii and I started out the same way, helper during peak then after I was offered a job after and preload was open so I did that. I learned how the company operated like the roles of supervisors, seniority, pay after a couple of months there. It was supposed to be one year to put on my resume but then I kept going. I was going to school at the time and said I’ll wait before driving, was offered PVD work during pandemic then an opportunity to go driving came so I studied, went to class and here I am still working at Ups as a driver almost at 5 years with the company. That hub looks like my hub in Cerritos, CA haha but they don’t scan the packages when they load.

[@MicahSimpson]

So cool bro, what a journey! yeah I was at the Anaheim hub, those scanners were a pain but helped to prevent misloads...

[@joecox1054]

I went to my orientation this morning and was hired as a preloader. Everyone seemed like really cool people and they seemed to really care about the employees. I have a really good friend that gave me the heads up that they were looking for people and he put in a good word for me as well. He’s been there for several years and has become a driver now. Starting out they hired me at $22 an hour. I love the hours because regardless of how early I have to wake up, I know I’m going to get overtime hours per day and anything over 5 hours a day is overtime which is roughly $30 an hour. I’ve been a contractor, a mover, and have done concrete work for most of my adult life. The start out pay is better than any place I have ever applied to and the benefits and union opportunities are astrological.

[@joecox1054]

Being paid per job as a contractor I made more, but I had zero benefits other than tax write offs.

[@MicahSimpson]

KPaola Gonzalez for sure, a willingness to learn means you are open to be taught new skills, and to be trained in new ways, and that you are flexible. (In other words you aren’t stubborn or too prideful to learn new things) one thing that helps me when I’m anxious during interviews is to write down the important things I want to say, and when they ask me, I can look at my notes and read my answer.

Especially on the twilight shift, will they ask us if we want to stay for an hour or is it mandatory to stay for that extra hour? Is worth it? I have a full-time job at night, we pretty much stand and sit almost all the time. Lift some things but nothing to major or excessive.

hello! ok so in my experience, ups would change the hours depending on the season. I worked preload, and during peak season, the hours would change to 12am - 10am. honestly, they are not flexible with personal scheduling needs.

As far as tips go, maybe go in a little early to get a better feel for how the shelves are set up. Then as the boxes start coming, take your time to make sure they go in the right spot... maybe even take pictures of the truck when it’s empty, and then when it’s full, so you can see how all the numbers work... it took me like 3 weeks for it to make sense in my head!

I'm going to work as a part time package handler soon and i was wondering do they give you more hours? I want to work full time since i got alot of stuff to pay. How does that work?

[@MicahSimpson]

I’m not sure if all Hubs are same, but at mine we had an option to work Monday’s, especially during peak season. (Reg sched tues - sat) which was good for more hours. But basically it’s a part time job, and it won’t really increase. Another option is to stay for the day shift and be a driver helper. So there’s ways to make more money, I would just ask your sup.

I'm really concerned about hours. I want as many hours as I can get, but some people are saying they only get 200 a week. Do they really not give many hours?

yeah its a part time job. During peak season, and sometimes when its busy, you might get more hours, but 20 hours a week is what you sign up for. You can also apply to be a driver helper during the day, that could get you more hours too.

Because I see comments saying they have like 4:30 - 9:00 etc and once I’m done applying how long does it take for them to let you know something? And do I need a college degree or high school diploma to get the job as a package handler? And last question how much do they make an hour I also heard they get paid weekly is that true?

Hey buddy, yeah being skinny ain’t an issue, you’ll be able to do the job, there’s someone always nearby if you need help.

I currently work for UPS. Somedays, I can barely walk to my car, because my legs and back are so sore. A lot of people are not really that friendly. They act like robotic drones waiting for their slave sentence to (shift) end. A few are very friendly. The HUB reminds me of the scenery, and mentality from the new Mad Max movie. Mindless, repetitious scanning, and packaging. Your life becomes, an endless progression of beeps, loud voices, and rollers guiding boxes to the back of a giant dark(pit)trailer. A world of stained metallic metal, conveyor belts, and guttural dialog. As long as you have a clean background and pulse...your welcomed to be a package handler. The marketed world of UPS would have you think everything is crimson & clover, until you enter the hub. Yeah, I felt like quitting a few times too. If UPS is your 1st job ever, then I recommend you work your way up to being a driver feeder as you get older. This sh*t is to hard for scrub wages. 180 to 250 a week/part time.
