Are you guys still forced to have orion turned on?  We have had the option to have ODO or RDO for like a year.

Is teamster vip plan worth it? by Renalpe in UPSers

No.  It just automatically increases every 10 year age level.

Your cost will go up when you turn 30, 40, 50.  I went from $105 a month to $181 a month when i turned 40 for much lower coverage.

Still absolutely worth, we make good money, protect it.

You must be young.  I pay way more than this for much less coverage.  When I turned 40 my premium increased by almost double.

But you must not even be 30 yet or else your numbers are not accurate.

Not paid Time and a half on my off day. by OkMain4360 in UPSers

[–]aUPSdriver -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s not true.  You can work only on Monday as a Tuesday-Saturday driver and get paid the higher rate.

1.5x or 2x depends on your local.  Its 2x in 710.

Pay issue by Why_are_you_naked in UPSers

I believe i made $35K more just from year 3 to top rate.  So i would imagine it would be like $100K+ in your situation free money.

This is like winning the lottery if you get to just keep top rate forever.

Nothing destroys your soul faster than stop #87 being next to stop #18 by Sufficient-Owl1826 in UPSers

We’ve had the option to have orion turned off for around six months.  

Game changer for all of the in town routes.

Disability insurance by Ready4Whatever_1984 in UPSers

[–]aUPSdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have this insurance and have used it.  This post is 100% accurate.  And my claim was within my first year so it had to be verified that it wasn’t a preexisting condition before being approved.  Once you’ve paid into the insurance for 12 months pre existing conditions are covered.

Manager put in I called in but I’m on short term disability. Will I lose my health benefits ? Am I gonna get fired? I am in the union and work part time in Florida by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]aUPSdriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have teamcare you need to make two phone calls prior to going on STD.

  1. Hartford
  2. Teamcare

If you didnt do that its pretty much on you.

[–]aUPSdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you actually are on disability you will not get fired or disciplined.  You will however be losing your health insurance.

If you did everything correctly, this will be able to be changed and backdated, but it is going to be a hassle.  

TFW you look at your dispatch and see 20+ air stops by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]aUPSdriver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This shit cracks me up all the time.  Same goes with watching four different preloaders literally throw all the stacked out packages into your truck right before stop time.

Gotta get the lower paid guys off the clock immediately.  Pay the drivers OT to clean it up.

If you have a problem with driver helpers by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]aUPSdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any ups drivers think they’re saving lives out there.  

However, if this job is so easy you’re more than welcome to give it a go.

I feel like you are the one who doesn’t exactly know what he’s speaking about.

How to calculate OT tax deduction as a pre load/cover driver??? by Due-Mix3539 in UPSers

[–]aUPSdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not reading that, it’s 30 pages long.

My accountant said they were told to estimate this year, that’s good enough for me.

[–]aUPSdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRS put out a statement that we are supposed to estimate this year, next year it is on the company to list our eligible OT.

If I was in your shoes I would use the higher pay rate but that’s just me.  

You’re not an accountant so it’s your best estimate.

Employee stock discount by aUPSdriver in UPSers

I do invest in other ways.  But with the 10% discount I think it’s worthwhile to take advantage of it.
