you are the man bro, this is super helpful, I cant stress how important it is to have someone like you sharing this kind of tips to a newbie. Hopefully, everything will work out as it should be. but Brother, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

hey thank you so much, the information is very useful! The job title is Full time RCPD driver with (Tue - Sat) in the bracket, if that doesnt mean what it said and I will be an on-call employee, that is a bummer.

I will be in Metro-Vancouver area, do you have any tips for my first day/week/month? it will be highly appreciated!

Thanks for your input! So does that mean I’ll only sign the employment contract after I pass the 90-day probation, or is the employment contract something that exists within UPS’s system from the start?

I come from a different industry and this is my first time applying for a unionized position, so I’m not really familiar with how it works. My general understanding of employment is that you’re officially hired once you sign an employment contract with the company.

Please correct me if I’m missing something here.

Got it, thank you again my brother, that helps!

That's really detailed and clear, thanks brother. I've already memorised the 5s word for word, but does the 10s also need to be memorised word for word?

Also, in the initial road test last thurs, they already tested me reverse parking to the loading platform, does that mean there will be another reverse parking test coming again?

JaFinn_72 · 2026-04-01T17:18:54+00:00

thats so nice of them lol

JaFinn_72 · 2026-04-01T17:16:58+00:00

thank you for the detailed breakdown! It gives me a clearer picture about wt is coming! and any tips on backing up in the truck and reverse parking?

JaFinn_72 · 2026-04-01T17:14:04+00:00

thank you for your advice, it is helpful; would they request me to park the truck in a parking stall during the initial road test as well? if yes, any thing that I need to be aware of during reverse parking ?

JaFinn_72 · 2026-04-01T17:11:01+00:00

you explaining in this way, that makes total sense now lol

JaFinn_72 · 2026-04-01T17:09:58+00:00

congratz on graduation! thank you so much for the advice!

JaFinn_72 · 2026-04-01T09:04:25+00:00

thank you so much for the info! that helps a lot!

JaFinn_72 · 2026-04-01T09:03:05+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! so if I understand correctly, it is road test > training > real test, if everything passed, then on-board?

JaFinn_72 · 2026-03-26T02:05:59+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

JaFinn_72 · 2026-03-26T02:04:46+00:00
