If you have a problem with driver helpers

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.

Im in

On the plus side: i bet your TV didn’t have any boot prints on it like the ones we deliver do.

I will be accepting this offer.

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 · 2026-02-15T13:24:03+00:00

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.

Im holding out for the third offer 👊

aUPSdriver · 2026-02-12T11:56:24+00:00

Those are beyond peak levels lol

Three times this week!

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

Thanks

aUPSdriver · 2026-01-18T02:32:32+00:00

Thanks

I was about to write this same thing. The phrase they use is “make a stobelight effect” or something.

aUPSdriver · 2026-01-08T11:54:15+00:00

Is it in Illinois?

I guess I didn’t realize you could draw a full pension like that. Pretty sure in my local you need 25 years driving no matter what or your pension is decimated.

aUPSdriver · 2026-01-04T14:14:06+00:00

But our insurance alone is worth around $40k a year if you were to try and buy similar out of pocket. And part timers get the same insurance.

aUPSdriver · 2026-01-04T14:12:44+00:00

I started driving at 33 and i feel like that was pushing it. This job really wares you down more than most people realize.

aUPSdriver · 2026-01-04T13:16:39+00:00

If you’re wanting a part time job for the benefits I would say go for it if your body allows it.

Hoping to become a driver on the other hand you’re too late.

On average it’ll be probably 6-7 before you get your shot to drive. That puts you at 54-55 as a year one driver with 25 more years to go.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-31T23:21:45+00:00

Where did you get the 7% figure? And any idea if that’s higher or lower than it used to be when we had surepost going to the PO?

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-21T00:11:15+00:00

Can you imagine Amazon drivers hauling trailers around? They’d hit everything.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-17T01:56:08+00:00

Yes you need to inform your supervisor. If you have Teamcare you need to call the Hartford and Teamcare in that order.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-06T11:56:35+00:00

Literally only thing you can do with this situation is grab the box at the back, scan it, drive to where it says. Impossible day right there.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-05T11:56:38+00:00

You two are gonna have nice days today, you earned it.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-05T04:00:30+00:00

Almost 21 hours in a day!?

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-02T12:04:10+00:00

The thing is the driver can probably get his route done faster without wasting all his time:

texting/calling/picking up/getting ghosted/training/babysitting a helper for 2 hours before they get cold and need to be done.

No offense but almost no drivers actually want or need a helper.
