Black Friday is double time plus 8 hours holiday. So technically it’s around $133 an hour. One year I worked 14 hours because they made me stay and do on call air pickups in town. I made like $1,600 for that one day and bought my wife a stainless steel refrigerator she always wanted lol
I was a package handler for 1.5 years and honestly the money was good. I made $700 in 13 hours as a driver helper but I don't picture myself working as a driver for 6 plus years to make max pay. its a great job, but not for everyone
$133 an hour is absolutely ridiculous. I’m an Amazon driver based out of Carle Place NY (Long Island). They usually don’t let you work more than four days a week because when you’re an Amazon delivery driver, you’re not actually an employee of Amazon, you’re a contractor. Your third party company can’t afford to pay so much overtime but that doesn’t mean you can never work overtime. During the peak season they let you work five day weeks and when Amazon has their big Prime Day sale they let you work overtime because the volume doubles sometimes.
I worked for UPS for 23 years starting back in 1977,bought residential real estate and retired at 41 years old! Its not what you make its what you do with what you make!
It depends on where you grow up I guess. Every adult drilled it into us that we all had to go to school. Complete bullshit. After 10 years paying student loans and after 15 years with a utility company I got laid off. The CEO of the company got the job handed to her and didn't even finish her degree. If I could redo life I would avoid post secondary and universities all together.
I delivered with amazon for 3 years then realized I needed to switch to UPS. Currently 2 months into the package handler/loader job. It's a hell of a grind and no end in sight. Just a prayer that ill get a chance to be a driver eventually.
I’ve been with UPS 16yrs.. I’m a 22.3 worker. I make 5-6bucks less than scale drivers. All I’m reading is a bunch of haters that have never worked for UPS and think they understand and know how things work.. this is a BILLION dollar company that has government contracts and is owned by black rock which also owns the shipping market. These negative comments are people that wish they could make the bread we make.
You guys are making real bread, I am a transportation engineer, took me 8 years to graduate plus student loans. I work about 50 hours a week and I am still trying to make it to the 100k. I am now considering applying for UPS
@@franciscomcmxc1052 I highly would highly consider it.. but you have to start out as a part timer loading or unloading.. then wait for a driver spot to become available. It’s a real grind but worth it in the end.
Also, the fact that ups can pay you guys so well and still be profitable shows just how greedy the other shipping companies are. People at Amazon making $18 an hour
It would be nice it inflation. Wasn’t that high. I am an HVAC installer. With my peace rate it’s like I am making $80-$100 an hour and it’s still tough to get buy. Inflation is ridiculous right now!
The same with plumbers, electricians, etc. These fields are paying more and more because young people do not want a life of hands on physical work. Under these circumstances college degrees will have to take a back seat to the trade jobs.
Cover driver for over 30 routes here. I started at 39 years old and was killing it. I ended up wearing out my driver knee in a short time due to the long hours, and constant in and out of the truck. I averaged 55 hours a week and never took off days. At my former center the injury rate for driver that began their career in there late 30's or 40's is almost 100%. Many drivers have had full knee replacements, shoulder surgeries, etc. Money was great, but for me not amount of money is worth loosing my health. I left, and went back to teaching and I'm almost back to my normal self. That said, if you start this career off in your 20's and maintain fitness your body will adapt and you can have a great career.
This job ant for the weak, by day 3 you are beyond tired, and the driveways will only get longer, apartment orders are getting bigger with all the free furniture orders, beds sofas ext ext, by Friday you are on someone’s ring camera complaining about a bar of soap you had to deliver by 10:30 am 🤦🏽♂️
great video, for the people wondering its a progression you don't start at $49, here in MN its $25 to start. Most people don't make it within the first 6 months. People want the money just don't want to grind it out. As drivers we deal with all the elements keep that in mind. Good luck to the people that want to get into it
It's not about the driving as a UPS driver its about the load count. You won't cover much milage as a driver most routes are pretty tight because its all about speed. Look at package handling videos if you think you can do it go for it.@@callenmeyers
@@callenmeyers If you can work hard yes. A UPS driver in most cases does very little actual driving on their routes. Their actual job is titled Service Provider.
You guys definitely deserve it. Im getting a small taste of what you guys do as a SSD and man I do about 90 deliveries a day and its kinda tough. I have experience as an actual delivery driver but UPS is a much different test on your body daily . I do ok , most days done in about 6 hours but its only half of what you guys do and im tired after its all said and done . I can imagine what 150-200 stop a day feels like 5-6 days a week lol. Plus side of that is you dont spend your money because you too tired to go out hahaha. Im thinking about joining UPS and getting on a brown truck though , would be worth it but you definitely earn that pay . Good stuff.
Worked at Amazon, can't pay me enough to do that type of work. Walking over 10 miles/12 hours a day without eating. Glad I got my CDL. Over 1k after taxes for 49 hours. Can call out as much as I want because demand for us is so high, sometimes sleep in truck for 2 hours because DOT has to close road lane for us. Jetvac truck operating is a sweet gig.

brother i did the first day at UPS and its a tough job. preloading is hard man! you wouldnt think because its just putting boxes in trucks right? well it is but you have to keep up with putting these boxes in your truck at an insane rate. and they will give you 2 to 3 trucks to fill. i got 2 my first day and i felt i did pretty bad, but so did everyone else because you cant perfectly put everything in the truck in an orginized manner with the volume of boxes. now if you want to get hired its easy because people quit a lot. i applied online and they scheduled my first day. a couple weeks later we got there for orientation and the people were very chill, the supervisors were very nice. they asked some questions and they said to all 13 of us that were hired. they also said we would be let go if we dont show up to work on time and show up the first 30 working days. they did some half ass trainng, then we watched videos for for the next 2 days. no one was paying attention to the videos, and i was wondering why training was half ass? but the first day i realized why. BECAUSE ITS CONTROLLED CHAOS THE FIRST 2 HOURS, BUT AFTER YOUR FIRST 15 MINUTE BREAK ITS JUST CHAOS. everything you learned, or sorta learned goes out the window because you got 15 packages needing to go on shelfs while the shelfs are full, while theres boxes coming down the line. tough fast paced work, but if you dont live in a rich family to get you into college or something like that this may be your best option. im going to keep trucking along because i dont have any better option right now, and the night schedule works good for me. you will know the first day if you can handle it or not. me being a strong 6ft under 16% body fat guy, i can barely handle it, but i can handle it. oh and icase you were wondering why am i talking about a warehouse job i want to be a truck driver, YOU HAVE TO WORK AT THE WAREHOUSE FOR USUALLY ATLEAST A YEAR TO BECOME A TRUCK DRIVERS.
Very nice 👌 I'm thinking about trying to work for UPS I make good money probably 150k to 200k as a Crane OP in refineries but I'm tired of the 84 hours a week and no beard policy and very strict rules where they can fire you for something so simple....
That money for working 84 hours a week isn’t that great at all. Especially considering on top of that your life is literally taken from you. I wouldn’t work 84 hours a week for 500k
70% of the population will not be able to do this job. Too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter. 150 pick and delivery stops. Wake up at 5am to load your truck, and last pick up at 6pm, and after paperwork and get home around 8pm. Heavy loads with broken service elevators on the 50th floor. You have to meet delivery and pickup windows. If you’re late, you’re taking those packages back with you to the hub. Not to mention that load being in the isle all day. It takes a special someone to pull this off. Most of you won’t make it. Trust me.
I’ve been trying to get on with UPS for awhile now. I deliver for Amazon. I too live in Oklahoma. OKC to be exact. I don’t wanna take a pay cut to work as a package handler for 3-4 years to maybe get picked to be a driver. I know sometimes they hire off street. Especially during peak. Would it best to apply during peak, kill it, roll the dice they keep me? Im late to the delivery game. I wish I had found this profession sooner but I’ve found my passion. Marriage and kids aren’t too far away and wanna be able to provide and support family. Amazon is fine right now but I want more. I know I can do this if given the chance. Only been delivering for about 2 years now but I’m already a lead driver and supervisor. Not a manager yet. Please reach out and give advice and or opinions. Thanks for the video, inspiring. Keep delivering.
good luck trying to be a driver you have to find a busy hub. you will take a pay cut. the odds of you working for ups during the season for Christmas and then keeping you in January is 50-50 . but if your willing to take the pay cut and work part time and work hard then apply warehouse 1st and work your way up.
That’s good money though man, and you don’t have to worry about all the physical labor, driving in traffic all day, drivers earn every penny, it’s all labor and time management.
Bro can you post what you do for recovery??? Like I assume this job is an incredible workout 🏋️♀️ stress on your back etc…do u take ice baths? Meal prep? Etc…
Good for you guys! You work hard for the money. I thought I had a good job (federal law enforcement), but ups is making me re think this. Wondering what the benefits are like working for ups? Pension, 401k, health care, etc...?
Was a package car driver for two weeks. 2nd week of driving by myself I was disqualified for calling in for family emergency. Not to mention I didn't even get paid. And no union stuart was present during the dqing process. I filed grievance to return back to my packet, hoping to hear something. Been with ups part time 16.3 y.
I was making $130,000 CAD as a Technologist. I now work from home with a salary of $83,000. Even though I make less the change to a working from a home office was the best decision I have ever made. I am productive at my job and my mental health has never been better. No overtime which is perfect since I have hobbies after work. I believe office workers that can work from home should to keep traffic off the roads to keep the roads safe and more efficient for workers like UPS.
Whats bull is people with with skills and degrees get less pay. Im talking radiology technician, nurses, respiratory therapist, staticians, electricians, teachers, etc.
What’s the best path to get hired as a UPS driver? Should you start out as a package handler, or is it possible to get hired without currently working for UPS?
Most everyone starts out as a part time employee. At my center I’ve seen people go driving in as little as 6 months and as long as 6 years. It took me 5+ years to go full time. I’m 29 years into this career and I am eligible to retire in 15 months. Good pay, good pension, great health insurance. UPS pushes its employees very hard. Long days are very common. Good luck if you decide to give it a go.
Hey man. I’m in Huntsville, AL and just got started following you. I got laid off my desk job 3 months ago and really want to get on at UPS as a driver. Do I have to start in the warehouse before I move to driver? If not, do I just stalk the website until a position opens up and cross my fingers? Any help would be great!!!!
me personally I would move to a bigger city so you can advance faster. I started in the warehouse working midnight till 4 am part time and after a year I applied for package driver for the Christmas season. I did that for 3 and 1/2 months and they sent me back to the warehouse. last year in In spring they called me again for package driver I said no. but I still was in warehouse part time. then they called for Feeder driver at a big hub and I said yes. took me about 2 years and I'm in Chicago. if I were you find the air port hub by you because it's gonna be busy start from the bottom and work your way up. if you get accepted now for package driver remember your probably a seasonal driver and come January they let you go or keep you its a 50/50 chance you stay on a driver that's why I went warehouse because if I did seasonal and they don't keep well I'm still at ups. don't go to a small hub ask drivers where you live where is the biggest hub by you. good luck and don't rush the money will come.
If contract pass this aug 22nd all the 22.4 driver become regular package driver that mean will take longer time to call you up to take class and 30 days probation
Depends alot on ur location, I'm a feeder driver here in Chicago (Cach) and from what I heard we maybe the second biggest location in the US behind Louisville, KY. We always hiring most of the time, mainly sleeper teams starting out.
Man this makes my 29.87 working in a Maximum security prison look like nothing. Granted ususally work 90-100 hours a week and make around 150-170k a year but man if I did that with UPS pay now.
Shit I'm a dialysis tech in health care and made 27hr. I left that toxic work environment. I gotta take my road test for ups 23hr seasonal and being considered for FedEx express for 24.61hr. I don't know what to pick. I also applied at corrections for 29.64hr. Idk wtf to do 😂😭🙃
Great news for drivers. Bad news for customer. As the service rates will also go up. Same thing happened at DHL 20 years ago. Driver got a good raise then a couple years later. Half the drivers were laid off.
As a postal carrier... What. The. F*ck!! I'm wicked jealous. I have worked my way up from CCA (carrier assistant, newbie bottom b!*ch) to regular career carrier for 5yrs now, total time with USPS of 8yrs, and i am only at $27/hr. Our max pay is after being a regular for 15yrs. Might have to throw on some brown and go to town.
Now add 15 - 20 hrs ot some weeks. Add up to 30 hours ot week in december and add in holiday pay plus working holidays plus some weekend work which is ot all day.
So why is it auto mechanics pay isn't going up? I've been stuck at $25 hr for the last 10 yrs. For whatever reason, everyone thinks mechanics are making bank. Nope, the place your taking your vehicle is making bank but their mechanic isn't making hardly anything. For how much work I do, on my feet 12 hrs a day, being in the heat or cold, I sure wish I could make a little more.
In my area they just opened a new automated hub 4th biggest. We are running but it’s still under construction. I worked for them about 8 years ago. The driver situation is tricky moved a lot of routes from different hubs so the drivers came too. Still waiting it’s only been a few weeks but the current drivers say at the beginning of the year I may have some luck.
Good video ! Is that pay scale country wide or do different regions pay different. Like say OK where you are vs NYC or LA . Thanks ... wife and I might be relocating to try starting this career.
Nationwide pay scale. Very few markets have slightly higher so i would expect these rates. Not going to happen overnight, 5 years minimum to reach these rates from start of employment and them jumping through the hoops. By then we'll be in a new contract and receive even higher wages
If you are planning a career at UPS and have or plan to have a family know this….. Financially you will be your family’s hero it at the same time you will continually disappoint them. You will not be home for dinner, you will miss plays, performances, games and the list goes on. Your first rule as a full time employee is do not make plans or commitments M-S. You will only be disappointed
32 years at brown and i couldn't agree more Now I'm retired and living a dream in Florida which despite the weather events we have beats New England any time of year.
So I live in Utah, currently contemplating starting a career in UPS. However I believe I will be returning to my home state (NC) in about 3ish or so years, is lateral transfers available with the company? Could I go from 1 year warehouse/2 years delivering and have that same time served transfer, have you heard of individuals going straight to another delivery position once the transfer is complete? Or would I have to redo the warehouse, time served, etc... Thanks!
Great video, very good, inf. UPSERS out of Massachusetts. 10 hours is good enough. there is no need to kill yourself with 60 hours a week. Is there any new on lunch for 30 minutes or a hour there.
This isn't a question about this particular video, but I was wondering how you guys do routes? Is it gps? Is there specific routes planned or do you as a driver have to plan this out? Hope that makes sense. Thanks.
you guys are winning in life! it took me 8 years and 50k in student loans to become a transportation engineer, I work about 50 hours a week and I am still trying to make it to 100k
Health care, PTO, sick Time 6 weeks paid vacation maxed out 2 weeks pto, health care includes eye and great dental, 20-25 years and you should be able to retire if u want
I’m not sure it will last, just today I ordered a part and shipping from ups was 36.99 and fedex was 8.99, guess who I went with, You won’t get paid well if you’re laid off because there’s no packages for you to deliver!
I drive in Ohio, making a little more, but it's about the same. We're getting a 2.75 raise if it passes, but hopefully it doesn't. The new contract is a dumpster fire. It's not about more money either. I've never worked for a company that couldn't care less about their workers and / or their family's. It's all about greed for them now.
I work at usps as a carrier but now reconsidering ups should I wait till a position opens for driving or go work in the warehouse first? I live in Nashville Tennessee
Minimum time to reach these rates will be 5 years from start to finish. Best to go to a big ups hub to have the best chances in getting in a driving position faster. It will be a journey and will take determination i would say to pray on it and let GOD guide you.

BECAUSE ITS CONTROLLED CHAOS THE FIRST 2 HOURS, BUT AFTER YOUR FIRST 15 MINUTE BREAK ITS JUST CHAOS. everything you learned, or sorta learned goes out the window because you got 15 packages needing to go on shelfs while the shelfs are full, while theres boxes coming down the line. tough fast paced work, but if you dont live in a rich family to get you into college or something like that this may be your best option. im going to keep trucking along because i dont have any better option right now, and the night schedule works good for me. you will know the first day if you can handle it or not. me being a strong 6ft under 16% body fat guy, i can barely handle it, but i can handle it. oh and icase you were wondering why am i talking about a warehouse job i want to be a truck driver, YOU HAVE TO WORK AT THE WAREHOUSE FOR USUALLY ATLEAST A YEAR TO BECOME A TRUCK DRIVERS.
Thanks for being transparent, really informative.
This is unreal! I'm a UPS driver in Canada and I'm making much less.
Very nice 👌 I'm thinking about trying to work for UPS I make good money probably 150k to 200k as a Crane OP in refineries but I'm tired of the 84 hours a week and no beard policy and very strict rules where they can fire you for something so simple....
That money for working 84 hours a week isn’t that great at all. Especially considering on top of that your life is literally taken from you. I wouldn’t work 84 hours a week for 500k
70% of the population will not be able to do this job. Too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter. 150 pick and delivery stops. Wake up at 5am to load your truck, and last pick up at 6pm, and after paperwork and get home around 8pm. Heavy loads with broken service elevators on the 50th floor. You have to meet delivery and pickup windows. If you’re late, you’re taking those packages back with you to the hub. Not to mention that load being in the isle all day. It takes a special someone to pull this off. Most of you won’t make it. Trust me.
49.00 is where drivers will be in PA after 4 years
Thank you for the video.
What are the requirements for a UPS driver? I'm in Virginia
I’d love a video on the hiring process
There is none. 😂 most likely for drivers though.

I’ve been trying to get on with UPS for awhile now. I deliver for Amazon. I too live in Oklahoma. OKC to be exact. I don’t wanna take a pay cut to work as a package handler for 3-4 years to maybe get picked to be a driver. I know sometimes they hire off street. Especially during peak. Would it best to apply during peak, kill it, roll the dice they keep me? Im late to the delivery game. I wish I had found this profession sooner but I’ve found my passion. Marriage and kids aren’t too far away and wanna be able to provide and support family. Amazon is fine right now but I want more. I know I can do this if given the chance. Only been delivering for about 2 years now but I’m already a lead driver and supervisor. Not a manager yet. Please reach out and give advice and or opinions. Thanks for the video, inspiring. Keep delivering.
good luck trying to be a driver you have to find a busy hub. you will take a pay cut. the odds of you working for ups during the season for Christmas and then keeping you in January is 50-50 . but if your willing to take the pay cut and work part time and work hard then apply warehouse 1st and work your way up.
Ups is the best delivery job company . Amazon is terrible
Unless you can work in the hub almost zero chance you will be taken on as a driver
How much will part time drivers make in 5 years ?
I see UPS is hiring seasonal drivers now in my area. Is this the best way ro become a full time driver? Any suggestions?
You won’t, you have to work in a warehouse first
😮
I should have been a UPS driver.
I am an electrical engineer, 15yrs, and my base is 120k, no OT. In Oregon.
That’s good money though man, and you don’t have to worry about all the physical labor, driving in traffic all day, drivers earn every penny, it’s all labor and time management.
Bro can you post what you do for recovery??? Like I assume this job is an incredible workout 🏋️♀️ stress on your back etc…do u take ice baths? Meal prep? Etc…
Yes I’ll post that soon!!
And cant pay us nurses shit😂
That is excellent!!! Congratulations!
Good for you guys! You work hard for the money. I thought I had a good job (federal law enforcement), but ups is making me re think this.
Wondering what the benefits are like working for ups? Pension, 401k, health care, etc...?
I just passed the drivers test I start on the 7th I’m nervous
I’m a new subscriber. Your videos are great! UPS is lucky to have you
Was a package car driver for two weeks. 2nd week of driving by myself I was disqualified for calling in for family emergency. Not to mention I didn't even get paid. And no union stuart was present during the dqing process. I filed grievance to return back to my packet, hoping to hear something. Been with ups part time 16.3 y.
There are limits on what the union can do for a driver in their packet.
I was making $130,000 CAD as a Technologist. I now work from home with a salary of $83,000. Even though I make less the change to a working from a home office was the best decision I have ever made. I am productive at my job and my mental health has never been better. No overtime which is perfect since I have hobbies after work.
I believe office workers that can work from home should to keep traffic off the roads to keep the roads safe and more efficient for workers like UPS.
Whats bull is people with with skills and degrees get less pay. Im talking radiology technician, nurses, respiratory therapist, staticians, electricians, teachers, etc.
Yes. It was the same story when I started at UPS in 1984
You doing a good job man....I need that new driver new pay scale video. I'm 39 and I been on my job 19 years. I'm ready to leave.
Damn u almost retiring
What’s the best path to get hired as a UPS driver? Should you start out as a package handler, or is it possible to get hired without currently working for UPS?
Most everyone starts out as a part time employee. At my center I’ve seen people go driving in as little as 6 months and as long as 6 years. It took me 5+ years to go full time. I’m 29 years into this career and I am eligible to retire in 15 months. Good pay, good pension, great health insurance. UPS pushes its employees very hard. Long days are very common. Good luck if you decide to give it a go.
why not going to feeder driver u can make so much as a package truck....
Great vid Randy!
WOW! How do you apply for an UPS driving job. Have class A Commerical drivers License.
Where are you located?
Take it of TH-cam!
Cincinnati
The baby UPS shirt is the cutest ever.
No it isn’t
Hey man. I’m in Huntsville, AL and just got started following you. I got laid off my desk job 3 months ago and really want to get on at UPS as a driver. Do I have to start in the warehouse before I move to driver? If not, do I just stalk the website until a position opens up and cross my fingers? Any help would be great!!!!
me personally I would move to a bigger city so you can advance faster. I started in the warehouse working midnight till 4 am part time and after a year I applied for package driver for the Christmas season. I did that for 3 and 1/2 months and they sent me back to the warehouse. last year in In spring they called me again for package driver I said no. but I still was in warehouse part time. then they called for Feeder driver at a big hub and I said yes. took me about 2 years and I'm in Chicago. if I were you find the air port hub by you because it's gonna be busy start from the bottom and work your way up. if you get accepted now for package driver remember your probably a seasonal driver and come January they let you go or keep you its a 50/50 chance you stay on a driver that's why I went warehouse because if I did seasonal and they don't keep well I'm still at ups. don't go to a small hub ask drivers where you live where is the biggest hub by you. good luck and don't rush the money will come.
I looked check in Nashville or if you are will too move and work hard go to Louisville KY that's the biggest hub
If contract pass this aug 22nd all the 22.4 driver become regular package driver that mean will take longer time to call you up to take class and 30 days probation
Depends alot on ur location, I'm a feeder driver here in Chicago (Cach) and from what I heard we maybe the second biggest location in the US behind Louisville, KY. We always hiring most of the time, mainly sleeper teams starting out.
Depends if your city is hiring
Man this makes my 29.87 working in a Maximum security prison look like nothing. Granted ususally work 90-100 hours a week and make around 150-170k a year but man if I did that with UPS pay now.
Shit I'm a dialysis tech in health care and made 27hr. I left that toxic work environment. I gotta take my road test for ups 23hr seasonal and being considered for FedEx express for 24.61hr. I don't know what to pick. I also applied at corrections for 29.64hr. Idk wtf to do 😂😭🙃
I am also a sleeper team feeder driver the money is great by no means but last year I paid 43,000 in taxes don’t leave taxes out of the pay
Great news for drivers. Bad news for customer. As the service rates will also go up. Same thing happened at DHL 20 years ago. Driver got a good raise then a couple years later. Half the drivers were laid off.
As a postal carrier... What. The. F*ck!! I'm wicked jealous. I have worked my way up from CCA (carrier assistant, newbie bottom b!*ch) to regular career carrier for 5yrs now, total time with USPS of 8yrs, and i am only at $27/hr. Our max pay is after being a regular for 15yrs. Might have to throw on some brown and go to town.
Very Hard to get hired. Where I live it seems they never hire
DANG! UPS making that bag! Nice!
Us at USPS deserve a raise! This is nuts. Must be nice lol
Thanks for making this so simple
Is it better to start as a seasonal driver or package handler if I want to become full time driver?
Now add 15 - 20 hrs ot some weeks. Add up to 30 hours ot week in december and add in holiday pay plus working holidays plus some weekend work which is ot all day.
I’ve been trying but I have clue where to apply just to get into ups and after1 or 2 years , then become a driver
So why is it auto mechanics pay isn't going up? I've been stuck at $25 hr for the last 10 yrs. For whatever reason, everyone thinks mechanics are making bank. Nope, the place your taking your vehicle is making bank but their mechanic isn't making hardly anything. For how much work I do, on my feet 12 hrs a day, being in the heat or cold, I sure wish I could make a little more.
In my area they just opened a new automated hub 4th biggest. We are running but it’s still under construction. I worked for them about 8 years ago. The driver situation is tricky moved a lot of routes from different hubs so the drivers came too. Still waiting it’s only been a few weeks but the current drivers say at the beginning of the year I may have some luck.
I have electrician friends that make around $180,000 annually and they don't work nearly as hard and long hours as UPS drivers
What’s your point though?
That’s good for them! Hbu??
😂🤣 I kno I DoorDash make nothing but hell I’m loved big family happy as hell two cars own house beautiful girl
This is a video explaining what UPS drivers make…not electricians😐
And they won’t have pensions that ups drivers have, when they retire.
Good video ! Is that pay scale country wide or do different regions pay different. Like say OK where you are vs NYC or LA . Thanks ... wife and I might be relocating to try starting this career.
Nationwide pay scale. Very few markets have slightly higher so i would expect these rates. Not going to happen overnight, 5 years minimum to reach these rates from start of employment and them jumping through the hoops. By then we'll be in a new contract and receive even higher wages
If you are planning a career at UPS and have or plan to have a family know this….. Financially you will be your family’s hero it at the same time you will continually disappoint them. You will not be home for dinner, you will miss plays, performances, games and the list goes on.
Your first rule as a full time employee is do not make plans or commitments M-S.
You will only be disappointed
32 years at brown and i couldn't agree more Now I'm retired and living a dream in Florida which despite the weather events we have beats New England any time of year.
What’s the difference between
UPS delivery driver VS
UPS ROUTE driver?
Is it to say is it the same?
Hi . Dose ups truck driver from warehouse to warehouse unload and load truck ?
One thing for sure, folks are going to start looking at UPS drivers an entirely different light.
Money talks folks...
Don’t be in debt and you’ll enjoy your career here point blank period!!!!
Most people could not handle the workload of a UPS Driver.
I agree, which would account for maybe 1000 people I saw in my 32 years that couldn't do it.
Hi, does a full-time package handler in the warehouse have the same hourly rate ($41.51) as the package driver?
No package handlers are only part time
@@Randywithups2 ow ok. Thank you for replying
I just got done taking care of my dad so I'm trying to get a job with UPS. 🤞🤞🤞🤞
How does one become a UPS driver??? Currenlty work for Amazon and would like to make the switch
start in the warehouse 1st part time
How do I apply to become a Driver Trainer for UPS? With these numbers Amazon is going to get left in the dust
$50 an hour? Sheeeeit! New crib, new Bentley, Rolls Royce and some other shit!
So I live in Utah, currently contemplating starting a career in UPS. However I believe I will be returning to my home state (NC) in about 3ish or so years, is lateral transfers available with the company? Could I go from 1 year warehouse/2 years delivering and have that same time served transfer, have you heard of individuals going straight to another delivery position once the transfer is complete? Or would I have to redo the warehouse, time served, etc... Thanks!
At UPS you would have to resign and reapply after moving. That's a big gamble, best to wait and apply after moving.
That’s really good money man! I make $86k as a Class A Truck Driver, so you pretty much make the same money I make, if not more.
Great video, very good, inf. UPSERS out of Massachusetts. 10 hours is good enough. there is no need to kill yourself with 60 hours a week. Is there any new on lunch for 30 minutes or a hour there.
This isn't a question about this particular video, but I was wondering how you guys do routes? Is it gps? Is there specific routes planned or do you as a driver have to plan this out? Hope that makes sense. Thanks.
There is GPS in the diad. But u have assigned delivery area. Once you learn ur area u can do it how ever u want
@@beersbreaks8501 They can't really do it however they want. They have to follow trace and be under what the computer says.
@@acedogg692005 So it's GPS guided I'm assuming?
@acedogg692005 no u don't. I have bee. There 19 yrs and never do any route the way it says. And can beat there planned miles and hours
@@beersbreaks8501 Divers in my building get in trouble almost daily if they don't follow trace.
Wow, UPS has changed since I worked there as a driver in the 90’s, we didn’t have time to be sitting around recording videos.
you guys are winning in life! it took me 8 years and 50k in student loans to become a transportation engineer, I work about 50 hours a week and I am still trying to make it to 100k
I'm a trucker 2 weeks of education and I make 150k a year Monday to Friday came to the USA no English
@@gst4043 How did you get into the US? I'd love to relocate but it seems impossible to get a visa
@@renegadenine bro I'm Puerto Rican we born with US citizen
That’s dope I’m tryna get into the trucking driving
Why go to université
How do I find a poaition in Boone NC? Can you help me please? I have a class A
How to make into the building from being a seasonal drivers helper asap?
Do you have to be a handler before a driver or if u work at Usps can I jump into a driving position?
I would also like to know!!!
I’ve been there a year and watched over
5 people quit day 1 and probably 20 after a few days. It can be hard mentally physically little bit
Health care, PTO, sick Time 6 weeks paid vacation maxed out 2 weeks pto, health care includes eye and great dental, 20-25 years and you should be able to retire if u want
People complain about the money I make but they don’t realize we work 7 days a week 12 hours a day
Anyone can do that with no wife , kids , an living for free in ur moms basement
I’m not sure it will last, just today I ordered a part and shipping from ups was 36.99 and fedex was 8.99, guess who I went with, You won’t get paid well if you’re laid off because there’s no packages for you to deliver!
I work hvac, that’s how much a top guy gets paid , I’m quitting the trade
LMFAO!!
I’m 28 working hard since high school and people making that much while I’m Stuck at 30k a year makes me even more depressed then I already am
well it's time to change jobs you think. your still young come over and work warehouse and get on the list to drive.
You should work preload work another job until your time you can go school pass your probation
Go sell cars at a dealership you’ll make this much with no wear and tear on your body
Keep your head up bro. The grass in Not always green on the other side. Focus and invest In your self. Fuck what every one else is doing
@@sychavez7269 How do you get on the list to drive, Do you need a cdl license?
I drive in Ohio, making a little more, but it's about the same. We're getting a 2.75 raise if it passes, but hopefully it doesn't. The new contract is a dumpster fire. It's not about more money either. I've never worked for a company that couldn't care less about their workers and / or their family's. It's all about greed for them now.
That's the union baby.
Hello! Does this also apply in Canada? or US only?
Love the intro! 🎼🕺🏻
I work at usps as a carrier but now reconsidering ups should I wait till a position opens for driving or go work in the warehouse first? I live in Nashville Tennessee
Do it!
If you aren't invested in USPS then yeah you should switch. You know our pay scale is gonna take a decade+ to reach top step .
Minimum time to reach these rates will be 5 years from start to finish. Best to go to a big ups hub to have the best chances in getting in a driving position faster. It will be a journey and will take determination i would say to pray on it and let GOD guide you.
Shoulda went to UPS was a kid instead of the ungrateful place that just laid me off for 20 years.
Sup randy… How long will it take to become a feeder driver , form the warehouse…
?
