Strict Rules UPS Drivers Really Have To Follow
Рет қаралды 674,798
Күн бұрынWe all know that driving for UPS, particularly during the holiday season, is not an easy job. However, in addition to the overabundance of packages, there are all kinds of seemingly-ridiculous rules that drivers have to follow, and some of them will most likely surprise you. Most of us don’t have to think about scheduling our bathroom breaks at work, but UPS drivers have to, and they even have to climb out of their vehicles in a particular way. They may sound made up, but let’s take a look at some strict rules that UPS drivers really have to follow.

You’re right about them being on top of drivers every second of the day. I got fired for “stealing time” because I went to a grocery store to use the bathroom. The truth is they didn’t like that I wasn’t running and killing myself. Luckily I got my job back with back pay.

UPS is one of the worst jobs I've ever worked, and that says something because I've worked in dozens of different fields. I couldn't even stop to take a lunch break because of the 450+ packages UPS gave me to deliver each day. And they needed all 450 packages to be delivered in 12 hours max. UPS management does not view their drivers as humans beings, but they view them as money making machines. I thank Jesus that I no longer need to work for UPS

Started as a delivery driver in San Francisco 1979. A much simpler time. No cell phones, no GPS trackers and all delivery parcels were hand written on clip boards with carbon paper. Lots of COD cash on deliveries, easy to collect north of $500 daily. No parcel weighed over 50 lbs! Still a parcel service not a freight company. No FedEx yet, no next day air just UPS and the US mail delivery trucks on the streets. Hitting my 10 year safe driving award was an not easy driving in San Francisco, hills and all trucks with manual transmissions. So many stories and memories. The frustration between drivers and stupidvisiors was a daily hell. I still tell ups drivers to not be a rabbit on delivery if you want to last. Long retired, I never wear brown or own a brown vehicle.
@martyjoseph9507 2 жыл бұрын
I've found that brown is a good color to wear while changing the car oil, or similar. Those were good times compared to today with the camera watching you drive, one could easily fudge the left building time and first stop time if needed once in a while. An extra mile on my 11 mile route did wonders for the numbers to keep the dragons happy. And the best place to hide from them was right in the building while they searched your route for you, not possible today with gps. When they got rid of the carbon paper I knew it was going to get rougher, and told the happy guy training me on DiAD exactly so. "Soon ALL the packages will have speedy barcodes and you won't have to write down all those numbers"... To which I replied "will I be done sooner or have 30 more stops heaped upon me?" He looked like that was the first time he was asked that.

This is pretty accurate. I worked there 41 years: 7 P/T in the hub, 3 as a package car driver and 31 in Feeder (tractor trailers). I was fired in 1985 because I had the nerve to take my wife to the hospital when she went into labor. My manager had told me "real men dont go into a delivery room, you will be here doing your job". Well the next day I came to work and he fired me for taking 1 minute too long on lunch. I was off work for two weeks until the Union met with them and the details came out. Great money, great benefits but total assholes to work for. Every driver I know has a horror story of abuse.

Funny story. My 2nd year working as a PVD we had a crazy blizzard( Northern CA) and it dumbed for about 2 weeks. We had some delays in the feeder driver making it to town but in the beginning roads were still passable. Apparently my supervisor explained the conditions to the higher ups and instructed them to only send well seasoned drivers no greenhorns and of course they did exactly that and the feeders didn't make it to town. We'll to punish these managers or whatever they ordered them to help us catch up because we were so behind. Every one of these so called managers had never done a delivery route and I swear to God the most talkative and in the way. We were seasonal helpers yelling at them to get the fuck outta the way with those exact words lol

Been there going in 37 years. Great pay and benefits. Happy as can be being a feeder driver (big rig). One thing in this video that’s wrong is the pen in pocket thing. The new shirts only have one chest pocket. Everything else is pretty much spot on👍👍

We had fun at uPS on the mid night shift. We joked and loaded trucks. Time flew by. I missed those days.

My former neighbor works for UPS as a driver. He and his wife moved away and purchased a huge house in a gated community. He said that he makes about $85,000.00 per year. So the rules are worth dealing with for that kind of money.

It’s true. Some make more. A guy I know made 130k in 2020. Although he did work almost 60 hours a week for the whole year

my first job as a teen was food delivery back in the days of no gps in ur phone you used a map or if you could afford it a garmin or magellen i learned quickly that right turns get you there faster more efficently sometimes you had to make a left yea but if you get in the groove and idea of the right turn routes it becomes second nature. stores entrusted double or triple deliverys to me because they knew it would get there in reasonable time just a tip for all those doordashers and ubereaters drivers out there trying to maximize ur profit per run

Tracking devices can be jammed. Just have a jammer that can jam wireless internet and it will look like a malfunction

Brilliant idea... imagine using a jammer everyday and your supervisors wonder wtf is wrong with your truck
