The best day a driver can have all starts with a good preloader.

Preparation is key! I'm 23 yr vet I have a back up for the back up because shit happens and you may need to help your neighbor. An extra uniform kept in a sealed bag to keep fresh is a good thing too.

Glad to hear you do Bjj. I just moved from preload to driver and am worried about missing mat time

Nice video and great advice. I'm a rookie trying to learn the ropes... this is all very helpful.

Cool vids dude. Thanks for the tips. Keep it safe all the way to the most important stop of the day (home).

Where’s your 32oz gatorade pee bottle ?! Thats a must have. 26 year vet here. Safe Travels Brother.

Good information Chris thanks for the knowledge, ok got to get back on the truck, keep the videos coming I need all the good help to make it through this 30 day packet!!!

A few other things you should have in your pack, white athletic tape, Immodium, and lastly a shaker bottle and some protein powder in case you just have "one of those days" where lunch is just not going to happen. I lived in the field for weeks on end, so I'm no stranger to long hours and garbage chow, I just traded one uniform for another.

Pre loaders are the key to a successful organised day. I’m a preloaded and have seen some shockingly loaded vans!!!

For your keys you can get a key belt clip. Fast to clip the key ring into. I use 2, keys and flashlight, working in feeders.

You answered one of the biggest questions I had-having time for BJJ...or any martial art/hobby outside of UPS

Thank you Chris :) I am gonna start working in UPS Canada next week, good info. Thank u Again partner!!

Just left express after 3 years on Friday in hopes to start a life long career at UPS. Snagged a seasonal driver spot! Passed my drivers test and headed to courier school for the week next week. Hoping to get hired on full time after seasonal as I’ve been told I’m an above average worker. Let’s go!

Thanks for the links!

You are VERY organized, should be a prerequisite for a driver, much less stressful if you prepare....I've watched too many UPS workers throwing packages from 15 feet away, onto a concrete porch, on KZfaq. Have you watched those videos? Thanks for your video! 😊

I link 2 of the diad belt clips together and wrap with hockey tape/ it brings the diad down lower and right were my hand is and i don't have to raise my shoulder or lift jacket/shirt plus the seatbelt isn't right on it. takes a good whack to set them together but its awesome having the board down lower.

@UPS Chris I started my driver training this week. First day was a lot to take in but I know I can learn the methods and the repetition pretty fast if I can just keep doing it. However I keep getting told to stay home nobody can train you. My first schedule day was Monday. I was there for 2 hours only to find out the sup went to another HUB and I wasn't starting. I came in the next day Wednesday at 12pm to go with a sup on a route to train. Then Thursday told to stay home sup is sick. Is this normal in your 30 days ? The trainer seem to imply I did ok, and he doesn't typically let people drive on the first day just do the diad work which I did both. I struggled to know my streets and again the thinking ahead is something i know I can learn if I just keep doing it. It's the same when I was in pre-load. I was throw into the fire but learned quick by always doing it and ended up being one of the many pre-loaders in the Hub. It's discouraging wanting to work but being told to stay home.

Hi Chris, I just passed my classroom training today. \0/ \0/ woot woot. Next week I shadow, then I have driver road test. Thanks for the tips on packing your day bag. I'll have to get mine ready as well. And thanks for taking the time to put this video together too man, much appreciated

I put my diad in the side pocket on the new uniform pants. Works like a charm, however no one else at my center likes to lol, but it works for me.

That's some good stuff 😊

Great video. Ups is lucky to have you. Loose the floss, less weight to manage.

In 25 years of driving, I have never needed fingernail clippers, floss or electrical tape ever!! Water, TP, proper gear for weather are definitely a must! I think maybe more senior drivers should be doing videos like these, but then again you junior drivers have it so good....lower steps in cars, power steering, automatic transmission, keyless entry....don't even get me started!

You rock dude thanks for the video and thank you for all you do.

I know this may be a long shot, but I would like tips for backing please I’m trying to be a package car driver. I’m almost done with my inter grad and I’ll start my 30 days soon. Thanks Chris! 😊

As soon as I saw your cauliflower ear I was like " I wonder if he a wrestler or bjj guy or both!" 😂

Hey do you have any pro tips for memorizing the 10 point commentary and the 5’s

Also you are not supposed to disconnect your Ignition key from the key fob ring.

How much do you get paid now and what did u start at and how long have you been working there !?

I am a new driver and I appreciate your videos.

Question about the clip for the diad because I’m not liking the pouch either, how do you charge it with the clip on or get mapnav? Or do you just not dock it ??

Can please tell me how to verify and accept the receiver’s signature?

Only thing extra I really need is a flashlight and make sure I have Dr bags

Yoooo this is dope. Im trying to become a ups driver and I do jiu jitsu too. So this is like a future version of me lollll

What's up Chris where can I get one of those clips for your diad that goes to the belt I need one of those. That's a lot better than the pouch we use at ups. Please let me know.

Good info. Thank u.

Hey Chris great videos! Do you know if the Semi trucks are automatic? Maybe some. Or not. Would be great if you could let me know.

I have a class a license and would love to work for ups where do I apply is it hard to get in

Nice Setup. A good belt would max out that load you have (diag doodad)

Should I work 224 or reg temp which one good brother? I had 2 years experience driving fedex express. Please give me advice more info thanks alot.

In Yonkers NY site there is Hipaa and OSCHA violations, regulation and laws are not applied at this location. My friend had to leave his night shift job after his criminal record had been exposed by his boss to his coworkers. Shame on you UPS. He just needed a job!!

When out of water on route how do you resupple yourself with water?

How do you handle stomach discomfort?

Man I'll sleep great tonight knowing what this guy has in his backpack!

Can u do a video explaining the good and bad things about how you're truck gets loaded at the module. Also why do you need certain packages Rear door Right,RDL,FDR,FdL?

Still in my 30 day packet, the only problem I have is how to organize my packages. Pre loader always throws boxes all over the place and it kills me when I have to stop and re organize everything!!

100% correct!

What size was that yeti water bottle?

Is he shuttling? To us "Full Time "Route drivers?

Hey man where can I find that powerpad accessory for the belt hook

How long till you do school an or driving test for package delivery driver/ package delivery car?

You have a clear channel from the bulkhead partition door to the back door? That's not right the van should have no air gaps from all the parcels in every little space.

Hello Chris can you tell me what do I need to become a ups driver??

Black undershirts. That's a warning letter.

this dude is prepared for war

Does ups or usps open every package?

Where you get that diad holder clip?

How many day u work a week???

i like the holster because it has the slot for your info notices so you don't have to waste time walking back to your truck when someone isn't in. every second counts...

Do you guys have a gps system that lets you know what package to deliver first ?

Where can I get the clip? My center doesn't have them as far I know. Tired of the pouch getting hung up on the seatbelt

Is there a difference between a driver and a package delivery driver?

I'm a package handler. In Southern California. How long does it take to become a driver?

I am a rookie, 3rd day on the job as a loader, what are the top say 5 to 10 things a loader can do to make your job easier / pain in the ass ?

Where you get that diad holder?

Thought only brown or white shirts ?

I'm about to get an interview for this job, and I don't know if I am watching the right videos. LOL.

How long you been with ups

Do they supply the Dyad clip or pouch ?

His car is empty I must have a heavy route whole car Is blown out in morning and for pickups

Cant wait to be a driver been little over a year part time working erregs

And to think I do 200 plus stops a day. I need a route like yours

You had me at jiu jitsu

I usually wear adult diapers so I dont have to stop and use the bathroom. I usually carry 5 or 6 with me in a day and just dispose of them in a trash can close by

Do they give you that Diaad clipper holder

What's with the p500 ?

What’s the process of becoming a ups delivery driver ?

Which headphone is that?

I just started as a driver. Today is my 4th day on my own and we have as much packages as peak season rn. My route usually has 120-190 stops but I have yet to actually finish all my stops before reaching my 14 hour mark. Any tips to help me deliver faster. I want to be able to finish all my stops at the very least in 13 hours

Hopefully you have a white or brown under shirt in there because that black one wouldn't fly in our building.

My day is always bad because the truck is loaded by someone with a blindfold. The worse part is I get blamed by management because I have to back track to stops because I can’t find the package.

It cracks me up in the comment section. Just like at my center. Everyone always chiming in saying how much more work they have than the other guy and bitching about this and that. Stop worrying about the other guy and get it done. Then bid a better route/job when you can. 25 year driver now Carwasher until retirement. P.S. THROW AWAY YOUR DAMN TRASH at the end of the day. Safe Travels Brothers.

New subscriber here don't know if you still make these video's still.

Hey Chris! What size YETI is that? My 26oz is a little bit too small for the cup holder

Can anyone let me know if it’s easier to get the driver job if you have a CDL? And will they start you full time? I’ve heard a lot of people say you need to start at the bottom and work up to a driver

I am going to work soon as a driver helper. I am concern about the use of the DIAD. I have not work for UPS before. Does the driver helper use another DIAD?

Funny how us package delivery guys ride around with valuable packages and dont carry weapons for protection

Must be nice to have easy routes. I work in a center where 75% of the routes are inner city and they go out with 140-180 stops on average for an average of 9.5 hours. During peak they’re all 220+ and about 12 hour days
