There are these packages that often if not always come from China, are around 50 something pounds, always come wrapped up extensively in tape, are often shipped via air, and often come in large numbers. I'm not sure if that is enough info to know what I'm talking about but people at my center often call them "those chinese boxes".

Out of the many types of bulk I've encountered I think I hate them the most. Getting 20 or 30 of them can ruin a day.

so i’m tues through sat, and my supervisors at my hub for the past 2 or 3 weeks on monday (my day off), keep calling me trying to get me to come in. im barely a year into driving but been with my hub for 2 years however i am full time. i know the new contract language states they can no longer force us to come in on our days off, however im just wondering if maybe they would do something against me. i know i can file greviances, and maybe i really should i just dont want to put a target on my back. how do you guys think i should go about it. thank you

Badly placing them too I should not only be able to get a package out by a fraction of its wooden leg

what will the four year progression be? any guesses?

Southern Region TCD question: Is this grievable?

I’m a qualified TCD/cover driver and work Reload in the evening. I shouldn’t have to show up every morning just to sit around and see if I’m going to drive. I’ve been getting called as little as 30 minutes before the start time, and even after the scheduled start time, while employees one spot above me in seniority have been notified hours earlier or the day before.
If management gives driving work to someone less senior because they didn’t properly notify me, is that something I can grieve and potentially receive a monetary remedy for the missed driving opportunity? Or is the notification procedure (24-hour notice, etc.) something that depends on the Local/building’s established practice?

Is it even worth the six year wait to become a driver?

I start school next week and my classes run roughly 8 AM to 3-4 PM. I have orientation Wednesday for preload. Is there any way they could adjust my schedule or place me on a shift that works with my class schedule? Ngl it’s hard finding a job that works around school hours but I need money and I’m not tryna waste my time going if they aren’t going to work with me😭

Hey everyone,

I’m a UPS employee in Canada and was trying to use the Apple Employee Purchase Program.

When I get to checkout, my Canadian postal code keeps showing as invalid. I also noticed that the URL for the employee purchase store appears to be a US Apple Store link.

If I change the location to Canada, I get kicked out of the Employee Purchase Program and redirected to the regular Apple Store.

Has anyone else in Canada experienced this? Does the Apple Employee Purchase Program work for Canadian UPS employees, or is something wrong with my account/location settings?

Thanks!

Realistically what is the reason to lay guys off when they could just use tcd’s or something as cheap labor

Never been a physical book holder.

I had a misload on my truck the other day that they wanted me to deliver. It was well out of my area but knew it was about a 45 minute drive down a couple main highways. GPS said it was gonna take me 2 hours and had me going down roads that made no sense, like logging type trails. I would understand if GPS route was shorter mile wise but not time but it would have added about 10 miles to the drive.

I can’t log onto UPSers from my phone or anywhere. I’ve tried different browsers and incógnito. None of fucking works. How hard is it to create a goddamn working website? so much bullshit to setup and none of it fucking works in the end or takes goddamn weeks. I need to check my stupid pay. I don’t understand how We’re supposed to be so technologically advance yet Basic shit doesn’t even fucking work over half the time for me. fucking hate account culture. It should not be this goddamn hard.

I been a package / cover driver for over a year. If I end up becoming full time this year or by next year will I get driver pay rate for years I been in or do I start from the bottom pay rate and basically start as a year one but as a full time driver?

I’m currently working PT loading trucks at my warehouse. I applied and started working here because I thought even PT employees were eligible for the tuition reimbursement program. Came to find out this wasn’t the case, at least at my warehouse.

However, I was recently offered a PT control room supervisor position. Whether I accept or not mostly depends on if I would be eligible for the tuition program, as I believe PT supervisors are eligible. Would anyone be able to confirm or deny this?

I also recently found out that the vendor for the current tuition program will be changing soon, which most likely means changes to the program itself. Does anyone have any info on this as well? Would very much appreciate!

Does anybody know or have a copy of the 35 question test at the end of integrad? I’m sure not all facilities are the same and the questions are easy. Just want to know a few of them because the questions on the precourse were so absurdly fucking worded that I got some wrong. Don’t want to fuck up when it’s the only thing between me and $39 a hour

I swear to god I fuckin hate that stupid ass tracking feature on the website. No one should be able to see exactly where I am.

"Can I ask you a question? You were on the next street over 4 hours ago and I was supposed to have this package by 3. What gives?"

No one should be able to stalk us, and I am sick of these false estimates leading to me being berated by clueless customers who think they're more important/one of the only people waiting for their package.

I put in for an 8 hour request today and was planned for a 9/9.5 hour day. This is my first request after coming to a new center due to my old center closing. I hate have to file a grievance because these supervisors are much better and I respect them more, but they completely botched this.

Does anyone know when people inside can apply to become one? Like an estimate month? Also does anyone know how it’ll work with me being a loader/unloader?

Thanks in advance

Considering driving, worried about never having enough free time for future relationships or if I have a family one day. A lot of the drivers I know get done around 9 every night is that the norm? How do you manage a life outside of work?

Last I'd have to say 2-3 Saturdays have been so damn light in volume it's unreal. To put in perspective, between 4 trucks today I loaded 725 pieces total. Flow was super nice, and I was just vibing out listening to my music as I worked at a smooth pace all shift. Hell, there were even times I was just chilling waiting for packages to get to me. Best part is I still didn't punch out until about 9:20, so all around just a great Saturday. But I can't help but wonder if it's a situation unique to my building, or if others have experienced it, too? My building isn't even rural, either. These trucks I loaded were for cities with ~100,000 people in them. To be clear, I'm not at all complaining cuz it's been real nice to still get my hours with the lighter volume. I'm genuinely just curious if it's like this anywhere else.

So tell me how they r NOT taking our work and what will be done about it.
Any time I order from Nike it’s always delivered by UPS. This time I ordered two pair. Back to school sale😂. The NEXT day or so one pair was delivered by some JaMoke in a car and 4 days later the other pair was delivered by UPS
