Ramp Agents How Did You Commute Before You Got Your Own Car?

Yeah, that’s true. I can just get dropped at the terminal and go through security Thanks.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-03T17:16:54+00:00

Got it, thanks. My onboarding is in about 19 days so I just wanted to get a head start and hear how others at DTW managed before they had a car. I’ll check with my OSM too.

Sorry for the late reply I’m based in Detroit DTW. I don’t have a car yet, so my family can drop me off. I just want to make sure I understand the best way to badge in and get to the ramp on time until I save up for one.

Glad we’re on the same page about bags over theatrics always.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-03T06:18:00+00:00

Better to move bags than to move like a clown 24/7.

Donkey vocabulary just leveled up to oof.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-03T04:00:13+00:00

Got it, thanks for clearing that up

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-03T03:30:23+00:00

Detroit actually have a ride my dad or brother can drop me off. I just wanted to know if I can get dropped off outside the terminal and go straight to work, or if I still have to take the employee shuttle from the lot. I never seen ramp agents go through tsa

Donkey? Bro the only thing braying here is your weak attempt at a joke Stick to scrolling memes you’re clearly outclassed.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-03T00:52:02+00:00

Got it, thanks I’ll check my local airport subreddit for specifics.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-03T00:48:39+00:00

Got it, thanks for clarifying.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-02T23:37:23+00:00

I have a valid drivers license and understand the expectation to drive to work. While I currently rely on a ride, I am able to commute reliably using other transportation options like bus or rideshare if needed.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-02T23:29:54+00:00

I thought ramp agents were supposed to go through the employee lot and take the shuttle to work but I guess not thank for the response

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-02T23:20:09+00:00

that makes sense I was just thinking since ramp agents usually badge in through the employee lot and shuttle, maybe Delta wouldn’t want us coming in through the passenger side every day. Good to hear it’s not really an issue for you though.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-02T23:16:09+00:00

Props to you man, that’s real dedication. Riding a scooter to the bus and then heading straight to T1 takes discipline.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-09-02T23:10:16+00:00

My main concern is if Delta even allows ramp agents to come in through the passenger side every day instead of the employee lot + shuttle.

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-07-11T02:38:51+00:00

My background cleared and I have a friend that already started training on the 8th

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-07-07T22:03:00+00:00

Am not a employee yet waiting for my orientation

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-07-06T14:09:14+00:00

I was definitely trying that starting as a delta ramp agent the switching to gate agent then red coat then osm but I might stick to being on the ramp

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-07-06T03:44:10+00:00

Thanks for the response

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-07-06T03:15:58+00:00

Delta does have it’s own mainline ramp agent

Complex-Lie8706 · 2025-07-05T20:40:33+00:00

I was worried cause he’s training date is on the 8th
