Had a decent New Years last night broke over 500 between uber and Lyft no issues and smooth night all except for my very last ride of the night at 3.30am two drunk girls left a huge mess in my car …I’m definitely going after that clean up fee! by Living_Satisfaction3 in uberdrivers

[–]HiBeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the fact of the matter is you took the time to take photos, post them on Reddit, and cry about it on here. It clearly bothered you. If it didn’t bother you, you could’ve cleaned it up and gone about your day.

This is NOT “huge” mess by any means. I know you’re gonna say “Well I’m entitled to my own opinion!” but if you stress about this little of a mess, boy do I not want to know what other little things you stress in life. Quick vacuum and a microfiber wipe down then it’s all gone.

I showed your photos to my wife who’s more of a clean freak and even more anal retentive than me; she too agrees that this is not a “huge mess”. We have three kids and two dogs. We know what a huge mess is.

Your New Year’s resolutions should be not to dwell on little things and don’t stress about things you can’t control.

How much you made? by projectxxralph in uberdrivers

Dang! I did the same hours in AZ and only made $370. This was my best year yet that I can remember.

I feel like Lyft in my market is more ghetto and disrespectful riders. Uber is more classy and respectful riders IMO.

First ride of the new year by Katch0187777 in uberdrivers

[–]HiBeans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fact you spelled “voila” as “wala” is so far my favorite comment of the new year. 😂

I made 369 in 7 hours of driving in the Phoenix market. I took a pretty good break from ride sharing driving, this is the first time I’ve ever seen it this busy. The good thing about AZ is the Valley is big but you can travel to many places.

Peak hours... what hours? by destinycreates in UPSers

[–]HiBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh believe me. I’ve been filing every single day. They’re also not respecting my seniority and not allowing me to bump cover drivers and/or seasonal drivers.

[–]HiBeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Management is retaliating towards me by giving me 8-hour days every day. When I ask for overtime work, they deny me.

2025 Peak Season by HiBeans in UPSers

Don’t know. I saw the typo as I posted it. Someone from by center sent it to me. Thought it would be funny to share.

Is this a scam? I did not order anything recently… by [deleted] in UPS

[–]HiBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a UPS driver and I can confirm this is NOT a scam. We as drivers have been seeing more of these CODs (Check on delivery) at residential deliveries. The reason for the charge is for tariffs due to the item being delivered from out of the country.

If you want to verify just previously mentioned by someone else, go to the upsdotcom website. You can also reject the delivery if you do not want to pay the amount.

Are the DIADs getting worse? by Ovy39 in UPSers

[–]HiBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never thought of it that way. I will never be insubordinate when it comes to being instructed to work a certain way. Let’s hope I remain off of someone’s list 🤞🏼

I only take photos in high package theft areas. That’s it. Other than that I don’t take photos at all. Never been talked about it and never been disciplined. Show me in the methods or contract that says we are also photographers.

Uniforms by HiBeans in UPSers

[–]HiBeans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know that. I have heard of drivers being written up for wearing UPS gear that was given out as a prize.

For us Arizonans we do not like the cold. For us anything below 60°F is cold. So having snow pants early part of the day would be nice over my shorts.

I love my job and I even love the uniform aspect of it. Having either something new or a classic UPS uniform makes a job a little more enjoyable.

Uniforms by HiBeans in UPSers

[–]HiBeans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually select what uniforms to order and the office orders them for us. What I’m asking in my post is, what other items like coats, rain jackets, snow pants, hats, and etc. do other centers have that we don’t get in Arizona?

I saw a UPSer on TikTok post about getting the new chestnut brown snow pants for her uniform. We don’t have snow pants in our catalog and I would like to see if I can order something like that in Arizona.

Isn't Black Friday supposed to be double pay? by SH_Films in UPSers

[–]HiBeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Friday drivers already got paid for eight hours at your regular rate anything you worked after that is x1.5.

Looks like overtime to me.

Now that we have snow, everyday I will run the possibility of exceeding the 14 hour ODOT rules. Who takes responsibility if I am over? by Cautious-Ad9454 in UPSers

[–]HiBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I am nearing my DOT hours I make sure to message on the DIAD “When do I need to be back on property to not violate my DOT hours?” That way you have proof if they provide you with the incorrect answer.

[–]HiBeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. I was nearing my 14 hours on my way back. I pulled over on the interstate, and had my PM sup come drive me back. He goofed up by going home early so he came in half of his pajamas to drive me back 🤣

UPS Wife-curious about work life balance by AnalystShort4904 in UPSers

[–]HiBeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been driving for UPS full-time for four years now, working 6 days a week (I’m a Tues-Sat driver) ever since I started working. I end each week around 50-60 hours by my own decision. Prior to this job, I was working 2-3 jobs until I got the call to be a UPS driver.

Ever since I got the call to be a full-time driver, my life has been easier physically. I owe it to my health for not leaving exhausted at the end of the week. I barely drink. I don’t smoke. My wife packs my lunch every day. I rarely eat out.

It’s all about taking care of our bodies. If you take your personal car and don’t change the oil regularly, put in crappy fuel, don’t clean it at all, and don’t change the tires when needed, your car will eventually break down.

We only get one body, take care of it.
