I am a retired UPS driver. Those trucks get so hot on hot days that you can't even touch the metal shelves inside the truck. It's brutal,and if you get sick from the heat they will blame you and tell you that you are not working safely. I am so glad to be done with that part of my life.
Im so glad I just get load information sent to my elog and I go do it and everyone leaves me alone. I will never work where people are breathing down my neck on my ass all the time ever again
I left UPS at the end of 2020 after 20+ years. While I'm thankful for the opportunity and benefits the company afforded me. I'm glad to be out of there and hope to never look back.
@Spike Flea yes but if your CEO made 100X the lowest worker (like in 1950-60) then you could still have highly paid, happy workers with no effect to the customers or prices. BUT now we have CEO that make 5000X the lowest worker, so that money is vacuumed up to the top.... Prove me wrong!
Spike Flea its slavery. you're literally defending your slave masters. The company doesn't care about getting packages delivered as fast as possible for the benefit of the customers. they care about getting the job done as fast as possible because its cheaper to do it that way.
Hopping Rabbit Oh, i see you were given a capitalist education and never reached out to learn the truth on your own. Here's the reality kid. Even if what you're saying was reality, which its not, its not good for the planet. There is no wealth on a dead planet. You can't have endlessly growing economies / consumerism and a habitable planet.
Al Knowing nah not really. The key word in my statement is “instead.” Rates shouldn’t go up because I’m not suggesting the company spend more money. I’m suggesting they spend their money differently.
The trucks actually do have air conditioning but I keep my doors open all day during the summer so I have a breeze going thru that the AC doesn’t have much effect
Then by UPS's logic they shouldn't be equipping their vehicles with heaters either, though I believe those are mandated by law. Of course, you need the heat to clear the windshield. Hmmm. So perhaps they should remove the windshields. I can attest as to how hot vehicle interiors can become. Part of my work is with Fire Alarm systems. At one point I had a conventional fixed temperature (135'F) heat detector in the back seat. I pulled it out to use and found it had activated, This was during the summer several years ago.
Well I mean, I just searched it up and they make, on average, almost $20/hr and overtime (which you get a lot of) $45/hr. Like idk about you but if I'm paying someone more than twice the amount of minimum wage, I expect maximum efficiency. And besides most teachers don't allow kids at school to use the bathroom during the period (my school each period is 1 hour and 30 min) so why can't drivers wait 2 hours to use the bathroom?
@@darinseansablan8977 You stupid as hell aren't you? Kids can use the restroom and that teacher would be suspended if parents find out their own child has to wait a hour and a half. How about you hold your piss for 2 hours everyday dumbass
TBH we piss all over the place. Empty Gatorade bottles. Those sealable air bill pouches used on packages. Rubber gloves. I even know a dozen spots on my route where I just back up to high hedges or fences & let fly out the back door. The saying should be “the world is our urinal”.
If UPS had an HONEST motto: "We'll get your delivery to you, even if we make certain our employees die in the process. Your package is more important to us than the health of our employees."
@@jalapenopoggers8310 How do you get a month late if someone stops to get a drink or go to the bathroom? They have to try every delivery each day a package is on their truck (RTS after 3rd attempt). They might show up 5 - 10 minutes "late," but will deliver it that day.
@@Ivellios23 its not related to that, but they screwed it up and the other hundreds of dollars was wasted until everything came, which it should have at the same time
@Chad Fisher, like the motto. You know if it wasn't in "chocolate drown" it might even make UPS trucks visible in traffic, or is that at the rest stop.
They do have a white roof. It's made of fiberglass not aluminum like the rest of the truck. It let's light in as well. We sweat it out. I can't imagine working in Las Vegas or Phoenix.
In Florida a UPS driver average pay is $75,000 a year. I knew one that was in his 25th year at UPS as a driver and making $136,000 a year. It’s hard to get a job as a UPS driver cause there’s little turnover. FedEx pays their drivers half of UPS so they have high turnover.
I worked at a UPS in lathrop, Ca In the warehouse. Everybody starts out part-time in the warehouse loading trucks and when a truck does become available then seniority comes in. My supervisor said I shouldn't expect to be a driver for atleast a year or two at the least. That's fine if I didn't have rent and food to buy.maybe if they paid more than minimum wage I would've stayed but nope
@@HarryRacer18 but how long did it take them to become a driver? It's good money don't get me wrong. I personally couldn't wait the time it takes to become a driver. I needed full-time work. Not part time which ups does to everyone
I drive for UPS and I couldn’t give a rats ass what they have to say about bathroom breaks, I’m gonna take mine when I have to go and don’t care if they say shit
I worked for UPS for 38 years. I drove before short pants and company provided ice and bottled water. I knew where every water fountain was and never had a heat episode. (In South Alabama...) it was hard work, but with a high school education I lived in a neighborhood with doctors and lawyers. I retired at 56 and now spend the mornings looking at junk on TH-cam...😊
AsitisToday it takes to much time to open the door they said it takes 2 seconds to open the door and seconds adds to minutes that adds to hrs that’s what I was told.
My uncle was a pilot in Viet Nam. He was sent to pick up troops in trouble. When he landed, he was under fire. The 'bosses' told him to take off. They only wanted to save the plane. He refused until the troops boarded. To this day, at reunions they thank him for saving their lives. Said if he left they would've been killed.
I mean...I worked inside a UPS warehouse and they don't care that much about the packages either. They all get squished on the belts because speed is king.
Without big corporations you would not have all of the modern luxuries you enjoy today at a reasonable price. If you hate big corporations, don't buy anything that Walmart, or Target sells, and forget about having an automobile, take the bus. Better yet, move to the middle of Africa, or any big communist country.
That’s crazy because I remember working there and we start delivering around 9. Really depends on the driver and how much packages they received. Sometimes the truck was half full over times it was filled to the brim.
It depends on how many stops they have, when their trucks are done being loaded, if they have big items they need to get off first to navigate inside the truck. Maybe have it shipped to a pickup location if you want to ensure it's delivered that day? Seems like you missed the point of this video
Yeah, the message could have been put across in much less time with out the corny graphics and drop ins from lousy movies and TV programs. And exactly what point were you trying to make? It is common knowledge that all those large companies mentioned, and plenty of others, all suck to work for, unless you are a suit, an executive.
The reason why they don't do shorts videos is just because monetization, like UPS, they don't care about us, they care about the the views and followers (money)
Always has been that way People in upper echelon don't have to save money only the workers at bottom of pole do If they had to make honest living they couldn't put their pants on properly and keep secretaries for looking at
But no one Micromanaging Management...they usually the ones that are dishonest right off the bat, from shaving time off ur time card to meet there numbers, or when the Company fails to meet it service deadlines Ups has a list of excuses to get out of paying u back ur owed refunds and they blame it on some act of Nature/Weather/God... At my warehouse we had almost 200 post office packages sitting in our yard for 3 weeks being exposed to the elements, Rain and Heat all packages where practically ruined ...you couldn't read the shipping label and ups still sent them to the post office DESTROYED . baby products to medical supplies in dry ice coolers DESTROYED. UPS ONLY CARES FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR
cody2167 stay dry out there, is it raining, what’s in the box, who is it for, are you sure there isn’t another package in there, why don’t I have to sign (CIR), it’s COD?, when do you guys get helpers, my ______ works at UPS, stay warm out there, stay cool out there, do you have seatbelts, could you bring that inside, do you have doors, how do you go to the bathroom, I should be getting another package today, last one was broken, (call tag) it isn’t ready(RS3), OJS on the car and the customer is like, “you have a helper already?” Or... “are you training him.” No time to talk “name.” The list could go on.
Al Knowing , people often cite Venezuela. There are several other successful democratic socialist societies in the world. The message is clear, treat people right ! How can there possibly be rebuttal to that ?
Jerry. . Thank you for that bit of information that's funny.. here's a little something for you Jerry: . Did you hear UPS and FedEx are merging ?? . They're going to be called : FEDUP. (2 COMPANY'S IN THE USA)
Worked for ups while I was in college as an unloader, loved the job but one day I fell in the truck and split my knee wide open on the rollers requiring 27 stitches. They made me come back to work not even giving one day off when I couldn't even walk. I had to sit in the office and do paperwork so they could save their safety days and not have to start over. I was done after that!
I am glad I never ended up driving for UPS, I thought about it a few times since I had a CDL and thought it would be better than in the semi. I remember when my ac went out in my truck on the way to Las Vegas and it was 122 degrees that day, I called dispatch and told them if it wasnt fixed the next day I am not driving. My phone even stopped working because it got so hot inside and it told me to cool it down before using it again. I would take my packages a little later for the UPS driver to be able to take a break when needed. UPS needs to cut cost in other ways, how about removing all those cushy office jobs of the ones who are sitting there monitoring every little move and put that salary towards some damn breaks!
It's a hell of a job, but people do it because the pay and benefits are so good. My husband worked hellish jobs before he landed at UPS, and at least the compensation makes it worth it, if you can keep up with the demands.
@@simonclarent3742 , in the south, water isn't enough. They often have to drink electrolyte gel like athletes do, because drinking enough water to stay hydrated thins their blood. And in 103 degrees and 98 percent humidity, sweat doesn't work to cool you.
Wow this is horrible I never knew this every time I see a ups driver I will give him cold ice water and food just to help him feel a little better I’m so sorry :(
@L F just cause we're paid well doesn't mean that we don't work our asses off all day long. In inclement weather as well. Last year it got down to -50° f here in Illinois. Guess who was out there doing their job. The only other people working in our area were the emergency services.
I’m a Ups Driver Yes this job is hard but the feeling of making 40$ an hour with free insurance and a fully funded pension of 4,000 dollars monthly when I retire is priceless. I love this company and my job, I take pride in my work. This job isn’t for everyone but the few who make it are Generously rewarded by the company.
Just as an aside, air conditioners are not that efficient when doors are opened and closed frequently in addition, they add cost to the fleet and maintenance can be a headache. Air conditioners are better used on the Long Haul trucks. Fans are very effective on trucks that have the doors left o pen during the routes. IE garbage trucks. Garbage men in the San Francisco Bay Area easily hit six figures annually with full medical benefits and a decent retirement. Like UPS, it's hard work hot, sweaty and sometimes crappy weather. Generally, the customers appreciate what we do for them. Offering, ice water, ice cream Etc to the drivers on hot days. Every job has its ups and downs. At least some of the UPS and some of the garbage jobs have great wages with excellent benefits.
Great benefits, but that money does you no good when you have a heat stroke and you are paralysed. Or even worse you pass out while driving and kill an innocent family with a air-conditioned car. It's unsafe what they are doing and I hope OSHA is listening. The company health statistics don't sound good. No job is worth your life.
Make sure if y’all see them drop off your package at least yell thank you off your front porch when they drive off, I’m sure it will make them forget about hell for 10 seconds
From this point forward, when I meet a UPS truck on the road, I will pull over to the side as if they are an emergency vehicle 🚨 so the employee doesn’t get delayed and fired.
Blood on UPS's hands refusing to update their trucks with closing doors an air conditioning EVEN IN ARIZONA. Until the drivers are properly treated I am never using such a service again. Absolutely disgusting.
I once had to pick up a collection of parcels from a UPS Depot. I was parked within the lines of a parking bay alongside a UPS Big Rig. The Big Rig truck driver said to me "If your van is still there when I am loaded and ready to go then I will be taking your van with me." It was a small yard for a big rig and he obviously did not want to waste a few seconds maneuvering around my vehicle. I spoke to the UPS Depot Manager about it but I don't know if anything was done. I also told my company never to send me there again.
Doors should be closed at all times for SAFETY reasons !!!!!! Air Conditioning And Heating System’s should be mandatory for drivers health. Please avoid parking in Fire Routes .
I worked in security at a shopping center. We didnt ticket quick stop delivery drivers because we knew of their tight schedule. Bread trucks, and potato chip trucks were asked to move. Christmas season was our busiest ticket wriring time of the year. One Christmas Eve I actually had someone park in fire lane while theree was a fire truck and ambulance in front of store responding to a medical emergency
Just know one thing: Being a driver or hub/warehouse worker for UPS (or even FedEx or Amazon) IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! You have to be in excellent physical (and even mental) condition for jobs like those. It's like the Army, in a way. You gotta be able to handle what's being thrown at you on a daily basis. I used to load the semis for UPS on muggy summer nights when I lived in Pittsburgh. Trust me, it's not fun. Less than 3 hours into it (only a 4 hour shift), you were drenched. Thank God they had lockers and showers there where you can get cleaned up when your shift ended. My boss was actually great (and helpful). Ultimately, a bigger calling was in store for me (and one that wasn't physically demanding) and I just couldn't do it anymore. I miss it in a way, though.
I worked as a parcel truck loader on the sunrise shift (3-8AM) for eight years in two different states. Yeah, you get a workout and you get filthy. The work gets easier once you learn the system though. Being a part-time college student getting time and a half, benefits, and a 401k was pretty nice. Plus they give you so much stuff and food! It was a hard decision to leave and I was making over $16 an hour when I quit but now I have a good career making use of the degree I went to school for while working at UPS.
Hey back in the early eighties I worked for UPS as a Reloader while I was in High School, and I too remember those 4 hour shifts during the summer loading those 18 wheeler trailers. This was in Durham, NC. The pay was $10.41 an hour, and Union dues were $25.00 per week. I too miss it at times!
UPS doesn’t care about any of their employees nor do they support their drivers in any way, and driving, while it does have the potential to be a very good job, is way too challenging of a job to do without support from the company. Instead, all they do is throw as much shit on you as possible and do many things to hinder your performance and they always blame you for it. I only lasted two months driving for them. Made my 30 days only to quit less than three weeks later. If I wanted to be treated the way they treated me then I would much rather join the military instead.
Personally I quit doing Amazon deliveries but ended up doing Amazon Flex instead, I disliked the constant push for more stops per hour, now when I work faster I get the opportunity to work more or go home early. Screw being an employee for a delivery service, being a contractor is always better!
@@cashonly2539 hell yea you did, your entire sentence detached you from any guilt, and you excluded yourself from the consumers. I guess i need a special kind of reading to understand your poorly constructed ideas.
PhillipBurks I don’t have a problem w robots replacing people’s jobs I’m just saying people get upset at jobs being too hard and then they get replaced by robots and people are still upset.
It's because the pay and benefits are insane and you don't need any special license or education to do the job. UPS drivers start off around 50k a year in my area.
I did it for 24 years, got burnt out at 38, stuck it out til 45 (Corrected), went out on permanent disability-that expired & I got permanent SS disability for PTSD & Mental illness. THAT, is what it did to me. But I was smart. Many just quit, even after 20-30 years. Those who go longer look 10 years older than they are, are disgruntled & have mental issues, & many end up in divorce. I know b/c I've kept in touch. These days they consider it "A job for the young," & no longer a Career-b/c it's much worse than it was in my day & no one can stay for the long haul. No one. . . Same for FedEx. It's like volunteering for a war now. . .
@@russell5078084 You cannot even imagine. They used to put some guys on cots & sleep in the break room & offices, take showers in the bathrooms, & cater food all just so they are all there & ready asap to work for 2 weeks before Christmas! Then we'd work 16 hours. . .
Something else too, if you notice that nowhere on the truck is any marque/manufacturer badge, if you look at a FED-EX truck it's either a Freightliner/MB/Ford Sprinter.......
Just for the record, UPS makes nothing but left hand turns now thanks to a system called Orion. It is stupid on a level that is hard to imagine. But UPS now thinks trying to cross traffic all day saves time.
I find that funny considering they pull out of our shop every day and make a right hand turn. Then at the top of the hill from the shop they make another right hand turn to get on the main road. Where are you coming up with this that they only make left-hand turns? If you would do your research, you would see that the software is designed to eliminate as many left-hand turns as possible. They still make about 10% left hand turns.
@@jpdst29 I drive for them. We have computer system now called Orion, it wants us to make mostly left turns and cross all streets. The fact that it is stupid and we ignore it a lot is irrelevant to my comment which was really aimed at other UPSers who get the joke.
I once had a driver turn up from DPD here in the UK to collect a parcel, I saw him turn up so I went outside and handed him the parcel to scan to go on his way, but he couldn't scan it yet and go because he had arrived 2 minutes early and he had to wait the 2 minutes before he could scan the parcel in and go. Jeez how these guys work for such controlling companies is beyond me, they watch your every move.
All pickups have a time window, you can't pick it up early or late! If you do you lose your bonus for the month. Full disclosure... I work for FedEx ground.
@@andylucas8262 Since I've been back here 2 years in the UK I've had 5 different DPD drivers and now I can see why if you get put under that sort of stress, I mean come on, losing a bonus for arriving 2 minutes early? Or late because of an accident? Little wonder there are so many accidents on roads when people are constantly being put under duress.
now that ain't no lie. My UPS delivery boy has literally no time to waste and in summer he comes in boiled. Not good. Still he is always friendly to the customers.
As a former UPS I would have to agree that traditional AC wouldn’t work in a UPS truck. However the company could install two MaxAir fans in each truck an significantly reduce air temperatures in both of the trucks compartments.
I remember a guy telling me that supervisors would sometimes follow trucks around. If the driver jumped out for a quick drop off...and left the truck running...they would "steal" it and drive off leaving the driver stranded. When he called in, he would be fired.
That is true. Not sure about the firing part though. Or the stealing but different facilities operate differently. Most of the time In my situation they follow you to make sure you’re working safely and efficiently. When they do follow me the only criticism I get is I’m not working safely enough 😂. Like for instants I wasn’t in the habit of using the handrail getting in and out the truck and I got talked to about the importance of using it and now there’s never a day I don’t use it.
Your friend lied to you lol... they dont need to follow you to see if your leaving your vehicle running while making a delivery.... the telematics system will let them know...
@@donaldreinholz3745 they might not want to respect it but when you get 3 9.5's in a week you file a grievance and they must pay you extra. They do not like that.
Copied here from my response to a comment below: I delivered mail for 11 years and it was pure hell back in the '80's and '90's before they installed GPS trackers in the seats so they'd know when your butt left the seat. Heard not much has changed. Management treated us like we were subhuman. Thought we were all liars, followed us around to catch us doing something wrong. I worked in the heat and humidity without A/C in Florida, just a TINY oscillating fan, which was brutal in the summer months, and we couldn't drive around with our doors open like UPS. We stood for HOURS casing mail without a break before we had to load all the mail and boxes and then spend more hours delivering. I delivered mail from bikes and walked routes in the rain with no protection from the weather or dogs or weird people, outside of pepper spray. WORST job I've ever had!!! Hated it from day one, didn't leave sooner because everyone kept reminding me how great the pay was. When I walked off the job after continual abuse, it was the best day of my life!! REALLY!! I lost 3 times my pay on my next job. Still here after almost 23 years. LOVE the way I'm treated, never regretted leaving that HELL hole, even with the massive pay cut!!!
Your story reminds me of a friend of mine. She got a job with the postal service here in NYC at their main branch on 34th Street. She started around the holidays on night shift. Twelve hour days from 6pm to 6am would get home at 8am. Told me people are in that place like zombies. The pay was great, night bonus + all the OT check was real nice. She just couldn't handle it had to resign after about 4 months. She was in tears feeling like she was a failure. Told her not to worry about it sometimes you gotta know what you can't handle. She at a new place now for over a year and loves what she does. Money is not good but she's happy with it.
You're so right about the USPS. I just retired in September. It feels soooo good to be away from that place! Crazy, bipolar supervisors, esp the women. The weather and making you go back out even if it's dark. I finally had got a route that was decent. I just couldn't take it anymore and I'm enjoying my FIRST holidays without having to go back there. THANK YOU JESUS!! After 33 years of thankless service, My TIME is FINALLY HERE! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I remember years ago a ups driver sweating buckets when I worked at a private community. He came in every day. He put up with it because it payed well along with the benefits. He was an old timer. He been doing it over 20 years.
Respect to UPS employees. Even the ones behind the scenes. I worked in loading and it was the hardest job I’ve ever worked it moves so fast you can hardly think
I was a UPS driver in the deep south for 40 years. I never had a problem with the heat or the company and I retired accident and injury free in 2015. I felt blessed to a have a good job!
I worked for a company that paid very well, free healthcare and other benefits, and an excellent pension. But, not for one minute did I think that my well being was less important than the job I was doing. Nobody can pay me enough to injure myself or harm my health.
I say, if you ask for a specific job and you get it, and you STAY you really can't complain. If it's rough or shitty conditions, there's other jobs to be had.
Well I'm glad that I don't have those problems driving a 35 year old postal truck with over 210k miles 2 transmission 2 engine's and a whole lot of other problems oh wait I'm sorry I'm in the same situation but the only problem is their trunks are big enough to hold Amazon packages.
Damn I worked for Herr's they started buying new trucks with ac but they were few n far between. Used to do that in summer heat sucked I feel their pain.
Its safer, cleaner to use the bushes outside to go to the bathroom than actually use the bath bathroom in the building. And at the san marco location in california alot actually do go to the bathroom in the yard.
Let's not Forget that they also send you a message at your last few stops saying go help another driver after you manage to get through your own packed out truck no matter what time it is. Speaking from experience
Love how all these warehouses are clean and up to code, not my experience they all covered in grime ups also treats their union workers like garbage especially the drivers, mad respect for those dudes
Coming from Fedex we have ac in the trucks and just keep the doors open so you don’t have to keep slinging them open over and over. It’s gets annoying and the drivers push themselves mainly on their own accord. Some of us just want to get done and go home
I think FedEx has a more relaxed environment, but that comes with lower pay average as well. I prefer FedEx though. Mainly because customer complaints are more easily dealt with since almost all deliveries are through contractors
Are you friends with your UPS delivery driver?
My husband! Summers are brutal for him here in Texas
My family and I are friends with a FedEx delivery driver
Also FedEx has their truck doors open too
Yes, we love him!
Grunge
He brings me bottles of tea, like Dwight hides under his desk at 3:47, of course I like my driver 😆
I am a retired UPS driver. Those trucks get so hot on hot days that you can't even touch the metal shelves inside the truck. It's brutal,and if you get sick from the heat they will blame you and tell you that you are not working safely. I am so glad to be done with that part of my life.
Im so glad I just get load information sent to my elog and I go do it and everyone leaves me alone. I will never work where people are breathing down my neck on my ass all the time ever again
I left UPS at the end of 2020 after 20+ years. While I'm thankful for the opportunity and benefits the company afforded me. I'm glad to be out of there and hope to never look back.
I'm so sorry. That's just wrong. This video was eye opening.
I took early retirement and left close to 2k on the table if I had worked another 2 years. Got tired of the UPS grind. No regrets.
Glad you got out of that inhumane treatment at work.

That's a lie getfo!
If UPS had an HONEST motto: "We'll get your delivery to you, even if we make certain our employees die in the process. Your package is more important to us than the health of our employees."
But you will also complain when your package is a month late
@@jalapenopoggers8310 How do you get a month late if someone stops to get a drink or go to the bathroom? They have to try every delivery each day a package is on their truck (RTS after 3rd attempt). They might show up 5 - 10 minutes "late," but will deliver it that day.
@@Ivellios23 its not related to that, but they screwed it up and the other hundreds of dollars was wasted until everything came, which it should have at the same time
@Chad Fisher, like the motto. You know if it wasn't in "chocolate drown" it might even make UPS trucks visible in traffic, or is that at the rest stop.
I wonder what corp would say in Sundays plane crash....rip to the driver.
No AC in truck let's paint it a dark color so it stays nice and cool LOL
It’s like an oven in the summer and a ice box in the winter lol
@@lh32186 exactly the same lol
My white fedex truck is just as hot, trust me- color does not matter!
@@headlight4141 Drink a lot of water and stay healthy is the key of beating the heat.
They do have a white roof. It's made of fiberglass not aluminum like the rest of the truck. It let's light in as well. We sweat it out. I can't imagine working in Las Vegas or Phoenix.
“Why UPS trucks always have their doors open”
Video: Being a UPS driver is terrible and nobody should ever become one
In Florida a UPS driver average pay is $75,000 a year. I knew one that was in his 25th year at UPS as a driver and making $136,000 a year. It’s hard to get a job as a UPS driver cause there’s little turnover. FedEx pays their drivers half of UPS so they have high turnover.
HarryRacer18 it’s actually the opposite of what you said. UPS has a higher turnover rate that amazon and fedex.
HarryRacer18 ur prob work at UPS
I worked at a UPS in lathrop, Ca
In the warehouse. Everybody starts out part-time in the warehouse loading trucks and when a truck does become available then seniority comes in. My supervisor said I shouldn't expect to be a driver for atleast a year or two at the least. That's fine if I didn't have rent and food to buy.maybe if they paid more than minimum wage I would've stayed but nope
@@HarryRacer18 but how long did it take them to become a driver? It's good money don't get me wrong. I personally couldn't wait the time it takes to become a driver. I needed full-time work. Not part time which ups does to everyone
So the uniforms are brown to conceal the fact that the drivers aren’t allowed to take bathroom breaks.
Lmfao!!
I drive for UPS and I couldn’t give a rats ass what they have to say about bathroom breaks, I’m gonna take mine when I have to go and don’t care if they say shit
lincolnlobster no doubt. Never thought about that one
Gives a whole new meaning to "what can brown do for you".
nhbxxx LMFAO😂 Dude!!!!
What can brown do for me? Not kill the delivery driver bringing my package.
Lol
He's rich, he doesn't have to.
You are racist
Thank you.

@@brianreardon7700 when you start no but after couple of years yes . I work there and everybody do 38$/hours
I worked for UPS for 38 years. I drove before short pants and company provided ice and bottled water. I knew where every water fountain was and never had a heat episode. (In South Alabama...) it was hard work, but with a high school education I lived in a neighborhood with doctors and lawyers. I retired at 56 and now spend the mornings looking at junk on TH-cam...😊

Same with me. When you drive for UPS you have to learn all the tricks. I drove when we had to wear that chauffeurs hat and bow tie.
UPS driver told me when I asked him why he drove with the door open he replied "it is too hot with it closed I have no AC " case closed.
No a.c. is exactly why !!
AsitisToday it takes to much time to open the door they said it takes 2 seconds to open the door and seconds adds to minutes that adds to hrs that’s what I was told.
What about in the winter?
Ex Fucking actly!
next thing you know they will ask you to not put on your seat belt because that takes too long between residential areas
When you rush your employees, that’s when accidents happen
they don't.... but they know why the driver is so slow...
Slow drivers cause about 80% of all car accidents.
UPS cares more about the Package car and the packages than the driver.
My uncle was a pilot in Viet Nam. He was sent to pick up troops in trouble. When he landed, he was under fire. The 'bosses' told him to take off. They only wanted to save the plane. He refused until the troops boarded. To this day, at reunions they thank him for saving their lives. Said if he left they would've been killed.
I mean...I worked inside a UPS warehouse and they don't care that much about the packages either. They all get squished on the belts because speed is king.
They care about packages reaching the destination more than anything else. That’s their #1. I’m a ups driver
people never seem to realize that we allowed big corporationes to take over our lives
or let the company fail and let everyone lost their job.... welcome reality
@@campkira You are all modern slaves. So please bow down my servants!

It seems like UPS always is on your street at 10am. However, the day that you’re expecting something important, UPS shows up at 3:30.
🤣 - OMG, this is the truth!
9- 10:30 next day airs
1030- 2 all business
2-3 Residencial
3-5 pick ups..
It's all scheduled with them... no lunch unless u have time
That’s crazy because I remember working there and we start delivering around 9. Really depends on the driver and how much packages they received. Sometimes the truck was half full over times it was filled to the brim.
It depends on how many stops they have, when their trucks are done being loaded, if they have big items they need to get off first to navigate inside the truck. Maybe have it shipped to a pickup location if you want to ensure it's delivered that day? Seems like you missed the point of this video
dont put down that UPS driver who got also hit in his cab from that plane crash....he was killed.
you realize this should have been answered in like 1 minute right?
Yeah, the message could have been put across in much less time with out the corny graphics and drop ins from lousy movies and TV programs. And exactly what point were you trying to make? It is common knowledge that all those large companies mentioned, and plenty of others, all suck to work for, unless you are a suit, an executive.
Why didn’t you just google it then, instead of watching a video you knew was longer?
The reason why they don't do shorts videos is just because monetization, like UPS, they don't care about us, they care about the the views and followers (money)
Pingo why didn’t you just keep your comments to yourself?
ChillRichard why didn’t the op?
The ones making the decisions are in air conditioning building. Make all UPS building help save on energy costs
Make them use flash lights as well to avoid using electricity for lights
Always has been that way People in upper echelon don't have to save money only the workers at bottom of pole do If they had to make honest living they couldn't put their pants on properly and keep secretaries for looking at
Most of the buildings don't have A/C either. Only in the offices.
Two much micromanaging.
You said a mouth full! It's RELENTLESS!
@Brian The Explorer the TEAMSTERS have no power there.
I wonder how much they spend on micromanaging?
Did you hear how much 1 minute of wasted time adds up to per year? When you have that many trucks on the road you have to watch all that shit
But no one Micromanaging Management...they usually the ones that are dishonest right off the bat, from shaving time off ur time card to meet there numbers, or when the Company fails to meet it service deadlines Ups has a list of excuses to get out of paying u back ur owed refunds and they blame it on some act of Nature/Weather/God... At my warehouse we had almost 200 post office packages sitting in our yard for 3 weeks being exposed to the elements, Rain and Heat all packages where practically ruined ...you couldn't read the shipping label and ups still sent them to the post office DESTROYED . baby products to medical supplies in dry ice coolers DESTROYED. UPS ONLY CARES FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR
Former UPS driver here. The company definitely considers its employees just another part of the machine.
Unfortunately, that is every company's human resource policy. People will still vote against their interests in every election though.
If the United States Postal Service was run like this (like a real business), they’d be profitable and less dependent on tax payers for survival.
Nobody: “I wonder why UPS drivers always have their doors open”
Everybody: “Well now that they made a video explaining why, I might as well watch it”
cody2167 stay dry out there, is it raining, what’s in the box, who is it for, are you sure there isn’t another package in there, why don’t I have to sign (CIR), it’s COD?, when do you guys get helpers, my ______ works at UPS, stay warm out there, stay cool out there, do you have seatbelts, could you bring that inside, do you have doors, how do you go to the bathroom, I should be getting another package today, last one was broken, (call tag) it isn’t ready(RS3), OJS on the car and the customer is like, “you have a helper already?” Or... “are you training him.” No time to talk “name.” The list could go on.

Target warehouse is just as bad you can't even take a piss
Worked for ups while I was in college as an unloader, loved the job but one day I fell in the truck and split my knee wide open on the rollers requiring 27 stitches. They made me come back to work not even giving one day off when I couldn't even walk. I had to sit in the office and do paperwork so they could save their safety days and not have to start over. I was done after that!

Why UPS has their door open: "Makes it easier for drivers to get away once they've just thrown your package over the fence".
I am glad I never ended up driving for UPS, I thought about it a few times since I had a CDL and thought it would be better than in the semi. I remember when my ac went out in my truck on the way to Las Vegas and it was 122 degrees that day, I called dispatch and told them if it wasnt fixed the next day I am not driving. My phone even stopped working because it got so hot inside and it told me to cool it down before using it again. I would take my packages a little later for the UPS driver to be able to take a break when needed. UPS needs to cut cost in other ways, how about removing all those cushy office jobs of the ones who are sitting there monitoring every little move and put that salary towards some damn breaks!
yeah we have a hard job, but at 80k-100k/year ($37/hr + overtime), FREE healthcare, and a union that protects you from management...its not so bad
37.64 dont forget the change, it adds up lol
Oh wow 80-100K a year that's quite alot .
I guess you give some you lose some, just make sure to drink alot of water.
It's a hell of a job, but people do it because the pay and benefits are so good. My husband worked hellish jobs before he landed at UPS, and at least the compensation makes it worth it, if you can keep up with the demands.
@@simonclarent3742 , in the south, water isn't enough. They often have to drink electrolyte gel like athletes do, because drinking enough water to stay hydrated thins their blood. And in 103 degrees and 98 percent humidity, sweat doesn't work to cool you.
Well I run line haul LTL home every morning 130k no touch freight tractor with all bells and whistles great benefits keep on trucken
Wow this is horrible I never knew this every time I see a ups driver I will give him cold ice water and food just to help him feel a little better I’m so sorry :(
@L F just cause we're paid well doesn't mean that we don't work our asses off all day long. In inclement weather as well. Last year it got down to -50° f here in Illinois. Guess who was out there doing their job. The only other people working in our area were the emergency services.
I’m a Ups Driver
Yes this job is hard but the feeling of making 40$ an hour with free insurance and a fully funded pension of 4,000 dollars monthly when I retire is priceless.
I love this company and my job, I take pride in my work. This job isn’t for everyone but the few who make it are Generously rewarded by the company.
Just as an aside, air conditioners are not that efficient when doors are opened and closed frequently in addition, they add cost to the fleet and maintenance can be a headache. Air conditioners are better used on the Long Haul trucks. Fans are very effective on trucks that have the doors left o pen during the routes. IE garbage trucks. Garbage men in the San Francisco Bay Area easily hit six figures annually with full medical benefits and a decent retirement. Like UPS, it's hard work hot, sweaty and sometimes crappy weather. Generally, the customers appreciate what we do for them. Offering, ice water, ice cream Etc to the drivers on hot days. Every job has its ups and downs. At least some of the UPS and some of the garbage jobs have great wages with excellent benefits.
Hope that pension doesn't get stolen like so many have already !!!
Steve's Shed . I know right! Fingers crossed everyday.
I respect the fact that you love your job and take pride into it. UPS could be breaking federal laws in work environment.
Great benefits, but that money does you no good when you have a heat stroke and you are paralysed. Or even worse you pass out while driving and kill an innocent family with a air-conditioned car. It's unsafe what they are doing and I hope OSHA is listening. The company health statistics don't sound good. No job is worth your life.
Make sure if y’all see them drop off your package at least yell thank you off your front porch when they drive off, I’m sure it will make them forget about hell for 10 seconds
Just watched this at the end of a 2 hour lunch break. I give those guys credit for dealing with that insanity day in day out.
From this point forward, when I meet a UPS truck on the road, I will pull over to the side as if they are an emergency vehicle 🚨 so the employee doesn’t get delayed and fired.
They'll cut you off anyway ive seen alot of shitty drivers
I work for UPS back in 2000-2001. It's a company that does not give a shit about its employees at all..
I wonder if they where monitoring there driver that got killed . Maybe a closed door would have saved his life
Darren L Hull im sure they “lost” that footage
Blood on UPS's hands refusing to update their trucks with closing doors an air conditioning EVEN IN ARIZONA. Until the drivers are properly treated I am never using such a service again. Absolutely disgusting.
I once had to pick up a collection of parcels from a UPS Depot. I was parked within the lines of a parking bay alongside a UPS Big Rig. The Big Rig truck driver said to me "If your van is still there when I am loaded and ready to go then I will be taking your van with me." It was a small yard for a big rig and he obviously did not want to waste a few seconds maneuvering around my vehicle. I spoke to the UPS Depot Manager about it but I don't know if anything was done. I also told my company never to send me there again.
Doors should be closed at all times for SAFETY reasons !!!!!! Air Conditioning And Heating System’s should be mandatory for drivers health. Please avoid parking in Fire Routes .
I worked in security at a shopping center. We didnt ticket quick stop delivery drivers because we knew of their tight schedule. Bread trucks, and potato chip trucks were asked to move.
Christmas season was our busiest ticket wriring time of the year. One Christmas Eve I actually had someone park in fire lane while theree was a fire truck and ambulance in front of store responding to a medical emergency
Just know one thing: Being a driver or hub/warehouse worker for UPS (or even FedEx or Amazon) IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! You have to be in excellent physical (and even mental) condition for jobs like those. It's like the Army, in a way. You gotta be able to handle what's being thrown at you on a daily basis. I used to load the semis for UPS on muggy summer nights when I lived in Pittsburgh. Trust me, it's not fun. Less than 3 hours into it (only a 4 hour shift), you were drenched. Thank God they had lockers and showers there where you can get cleaned up when your shift ended. My boss was actually great (and helpful). Ultimately, a bigger calling was in store for me (and one that wasn't physically demanding) and I just couldn't do it anymore. I miss it in a way, though.
David Smith well said
You guys have showers!?
I worked as a parcel truck loader on the sunrise shift (3-8AM) for eight years in two different states. Yeah, you get a workout and you get filthy. The work gets easier once you learn the system though.
Being a part-time college student getting time and a half, benefits, and a 401k was pretty nice. Plus they give you so much stuff and food! It was a hard decision to leave and I was making over $16 an hour when I quit but now I have a good career making use of the degree I went to school for while working at UPS.
Hey back in the early eighties I worked for UPS as a Reloader while I was in High School, and I too remember those 4 hour shifts during the summer loading those 18 wheeler trailers. This was in Durham, NC. The pay was $10.41 an hour, and Union dues were $25.00 per week. I too miss it at times!
UPS doesn’t care about any of their employees nor do they support their drivers in any way, and driving, while it does have the potential to be a very good job, is way too challenging of a job to do without support from the company. Instead, all they do is throw as much shit on you as possible and do many things to hinder your performance and they always blame you for it. I only lasted two months driving for them. Made my 30 days only to quit less than three weeks later. If I wanted to be treated the way they treated me then I would much rather join the military instead.
Personally I quit doing Amazon deliveries but ended up doing Amazon Flex instead, I disliked the constant push for more stops per hour, now when I work faster I get the opportunity to work more or go home early. Screw being an employee for a delivery service, being a contractor is always better!
I think Amazon is partially responsible for this crap. To some extent, consumers keep buying useless shit as well.
Amazon only exists because of us. So if you wanna blame someone, blame yourself at first.

It's because the pay and benefits are insane and you don't need any special license or education to do the job. UPS drivers start off around 50k a year in my area.
I did it for 24 years, got burnt out at 38, stuck it out til 45 (Corrected), went out on permanent disability-that expired & I got permanent SS disability for PTSD & Mental illness. THAT, is what it did to me. But I was smart. Many just quit, even after 20-30 years. Those who go longer look 10 years older than they are, are disgruntled & have mental issues, & many end up in divorce. I know b/c I've kept in touch. These days they consider it "A job for the young," & no longer a Career-b/c it's much worse than it was in my day & no one can stay for the long haul. No one. . . Same for FedEx. It's like volunteering for a war now. . .
@@russell5078084 You cannot even imagine. They used to put some guys on cots & sleep in the break room & offices, take showers in the bathrooms, & cater food all just so they are all there & ready asap to work for 2 weeks before Christmas! Then we'd work 16 hours. . .
Something else too, if you notice that nowhere on the truck is any marque/manufacturer badge, if you look at a FED-EX truck it's either a Freightliner/MB/Ford Sprinter.......
Management doesn’t give a shit about employees. They are a liability not an asset
Just for the record, UPS makes nothing but left hand turns now thanks to a system called Orion. It is stupid on a level that is hard to imagine. But UPS now thinks trying to cross traffic all day saves time.
They make right turns just as much lol
True lol, fkin hate it everytime i have to cross a main street. Takes 1-3mins!
ORION SUCKS
I find that funny considering they pull out of our shop every day and make a right hand turn. Then at the top of the hill from the shop they make another right hand turn to get on the main road. Where are you coming up with this that they only make left-hand turns? If you would do your research, you would see that the software is designed to eliminate as many left-hand turns as possible. They still make about 10% left hand turns.
@@jpdst29 I drive for them. We have computer system now called Orion, it wants us to make mostly left turns and cross all streets. The fact that it is stupid and we ignore it a lot is irrelevant to my comment which was really aimed at other UPSers who get the joke.

As a former UPS I would have to agree that traditional AC wouldn’t work in a UPS truck. However the company could install two MaxAir fans in each truck an significantly reduce air temperatures in both of the trucks compartments.
‘What can brown do for you’ just got a whole new meaning…
Money is more valuable than man. Should be their motto
I remember a guy telling me that supervisors would sometimes follow trucks around. If the driver jumped out for a quick drop off...and left the truck running...they would "steal" it and drive off leaving the driver stranded. When he called in, he would be fired.
Damn thats cold
That is true. Not sure about the firing part though. Or the stealing but different facilities operate differently. Most of the time In my situation they follow you to make sure you’re working safely and efficiently. When they do follow me the only criticism I get is I’m not working safely enough 😂. Like for instants I wasn’t in the habit of using the handrail getting in and out the truck and I got talked to about the importance of using it and now there’s never a day I don’t use it.

Copied here from my response to a comment below:
I delivered mail for 11 years and it was pure hell back in the '80's and '90's before they installed GPS trackers in the seats so they'd know when your butt left the seat. Heard not much has changed. Management treated us like we were subhuman. Thought we were all liars, followed us around to catch us doing something wrong. I worked in the heat and humidity without A/C in Florida, just a TINY oscillating fan, which was brutal in the summer months, and we couldn't drive around with our doors open like UPS. We stood for HOURS casing mail without a break before we had to load all the mail and boxes and then spend more hours delivering. I delivered mail from bikes and walked routes in the rain with no protection from the weather or dogs or weird people, outside of pepper spray. WORST job I've ever had!!! Hated it from day one, didn't leave sooner because everyone kept reminding me how great the pay was. When I walked off the job after continual abuse, it was the best day of my life!! REALLY!! I lost 3 times my pay on my next job. Still here after almost 23 years. LOVE the way I'm treated, never regretted leaving that HELL hole, even with the massive pay cut!!!
Your story reminds me of a friend of mine. She got a job with the postal service here in NYC at their main branch on 34th Street. She started around the holidays on night shift. Twelve hour days from 6pm to 6am would get home at 8am. Told me people are in that place like zombies. The pay was great, night bonus + all the OT check was real nice. She just couldn't handle it had to resign after about 4 months. She was in tears feeling like she was a failure. Told her not to worry about it sometimes you gotta know what you can't handle. She at a new place now for over a year and loves what she does. Money is not good but she's happy with it.
You're so right about the USPS. I just retired in September. It feels soooo good to be away from that place! Crazy, bipolar supervisors, esp the women.

I remember years ago a ups driver sweating buckets when I worked at a private community. He came in every day. He put up with it because it payed well along with the benefits. He was an old timer. He been doing it over 20 years.
Respect to UPS employees. Even the ones behind the scenes. I worked in loading and it was the hardest job I’ve ever worked it moves so fast you can hardly think
As someone who can relate, a big thank you to everyone slaving themselves for demanding jobs. I appreciate you 💯
No. To Anyone fighting the system, I’m grateful.
I was a UPS driver in the deep south for 40 years. I never had a problem with the heat or the company and I retired accident and injury free in 2015. I felt blessed to a have a good job!
Dang what.... I’ll never complain about an hour late package ever again :(
I worked for a company that paid very well, free healthcare and other benefits, and an excellent pension. But, not for one minute did I think that my well being was less important than the job I was doing. Nobody can pay me enough to injure myself or harm my health.
I bet my UPS guy is wishing he had some of that heat lately.
Who cares, u make great money, get over it, what about someone who does say roofing, nowhere near the money, and up to 3 times the heat, quit crying
Okboomer
@ Kevin Cason there hiring go sign up.
I say, if you ask for a specific job and you get it, and you STAY you really can't complain.
If it's rough or shitty conditions, there's other jobs to be had.
One thing these trucks aren't equipped with, bulletproof panels.
Check the UPS driver that makes a left hand turn..... @2:26 So if you can't go right, make a left....
The door is always open is how that UPS guy got killed when the dudes did that diamond heist
When I was younger I just thought that UPS had one truck for everything
😂
Same I also thought that
So y'all just thought UPS was another version of Santa Claus. Lol out here delivering packages in milliseconds
i never know what the hell are they for very long time... poop color...
With how slow they are you would think 😂
The left turn kills a lot of the drivers .. it’s hot as hell in the truck
Well I'm glad that I don't have those problems driving a 35 year old postal truck with over 210k miles 2 transmission 2 engine's and a whole lot of other problems oh wait I'm sorry I'm in the same situation but the only problem is their trunks are big enough to hold Amazon packages.
Get a new job then whiner you new what you where going in to
@@fredfuchs3573 AND; Get a new job whiner you KNEW what you WERE getting into. . .
Damn I worked for Herr's they started buying new trucks with ac but they were few n far between. Used to do that in summer heat sucked I feel their pain.
Its safer, cleaner to use the bushes outside to go to the bathroom than actually use the bath bathroom in the building. And at the san marco location in california alot actually do go to the bathroom in the yard.
I guess that is why they speed thru neighborhoods, run over pets, and do not stop at stop signs.
Let's not Forget that they also send you a message at your last few stops saying go help another driver after you manage to get through your own packed out truck no matter what time it is. Speaking from experience
I read that UPS is the number 1. Worst companies to work for in the United States.
What are you trying to say???
I bet the Disneyland employees would disagree with you
Michael P They probably would. I heard some of what current/ past employees have said about Disney.
Love how all these warehouses are clean and up to code, not my experience they all covered in grime ups also treats their union workers like garbage especially the drivers, mad respect for those dudes
Coming from Fedex we have ac in the trucks and just keep the doors open so you don’t have to keep slinging them open over and over. It’s gets annoying and the drivers push themselves mainly on their own accord. Some of us just want to get done and go home
I think FedEx has a more relaxed environment, but that comes with lower pay average as well. I prefer FedEx though. Mainly because customer complaints are more easily dealt with since almost all deliveries are through contractors
