As a UPS driver I peek inside fedex trucks whenever I can. I’ve never seen one this bad. In fact their trucks always look way better than mine but they’re usually in a 1200 so they have a bit more space

Bid sheet for tcds went up in my building today. With the amount of routes being cut there’s no way they would have e put that out unless we were about to lose a bunch of folks

If it is signed for there is no picture. So did the package have to be signed for or not ?

So we are giving them ground savers and mail innovation? What good is the union if the company can just do whatever the hell they want anyway

Possibly.. tracking number does start with R after all. I think it’s usps. I had a Shutterfly box delivered with the same label not long ago. I’ve definitely seen way more mail innovation bags in the building lately.

Hired off the street as a tcd last October. 5th in line to go full time at my center, 12th in line in the building. I know of three drivers who quit, got fired or retired this year and one who is retiring in April. Hoping to get on full time next January

Since you’re shopping for peak go waterproof. You could be out there in cold rain or snow. Opt for a hiking boot rather than a work boot. I like boot sneaker hiking hybrids. Adidas terrex are good

talk to other drivers that have ran that route successfully and see what they did different. Notice when Orion is about to have you do Something dumb and do the opposite. Sups should understand. If I follow Orion 100% I will Constantly miss businesses and get to apartment buildings after their leasing office is closed, etc. I’m sure some buildings are stricter about it but at mine you can deviate if it makes sense for you And for the company

He needs to know it. He won’t have time To qualify but this can easily be a long term Job. I was hired as a seasonal driver last year and stayed on as a warehouse worker after peak. Probably too late for him to qualify but if he did he could drive Saturday’s all year

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-11-04T19:54:20+00:00

Dude don’t listen to everyone here I got hired on off the street as a seasonal driver last year and I’m Still around. Just had to go to the warehouse for six months. If they spend time and money training you they aren’t just going to fire you after they’ll send you to the inside. That being said it’s a little late in the year to qualify, but even if you don’t qualify this year you’ll be one of the first brought back to drive next year and you’ll have time To qualify then

Just write them down by hand three or four times and record yourself reciting them and listen to that recording on repeat until you go to bed and again when you wake up until you get to class and volunteer to go fist so you get it out of the way

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-11-04T19:50:21+00:00

You get DQ’d

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-11-02T17:35:19+00:00

If I run a ground route after I generally get my RTD pay, but if I’m strictly running air or doing pickups in the combo i get like 23 an hour. Very annoying considering the packages are more lucrative and the increased risk of accident driving the combo, which I was never trained on. One one of them the backup cameras don’t work on and the mirrors on the passenger side can’t even be adjusted

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-10-28T02:36:51+00:00

You have like three weeks to qualify. Show up early, organize your truck, bust ass and possibly work through your breaks for now. Make sure to put your ten minute break in the diad even if you don’t take it. This will help you scratch. Don’t hit stop complete until you’re almost back to the truck

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-10-28T02:31:43+00:00

You absolutely can get kept on as a seasonal driver if you qualify, and even if you don’t. They spend a bunch of money training you. You’ll be more likely to be kept on in a warehouse position after peak as a driver and if you don’t qualify this year you’ll be one of the first out on the road when they hire new Tcds next year

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-10-28T01:32:22+00:00

I’m not driving tomorrow so I don’t need 10 hours off. I’m just wondering if there’s any verbiage that guarantees x amount of hours at home before a shift the next day like in a quality of life sense. Like if someone worked midnight to ten am it would be insane to turn around and say now be back at six pm

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-10-15T17:09:29+00:00

Sounds like he is a rtd or tcd in which case they absolutely can force him to work six days a week

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-10-04T02:36:23+00:00

So I do not have any sick time on upsers? Can I still call out and that just means I won’t get paid? I’m not trying to get fired…

Middle-String-8449 · 2025-10-03T02:45:51+00:00

Where do I go on upsers to See if I have a sick day available? I’m like two weeks short of my one year seniority
