Justin Bair “virtual integrad” we didn’t get sent out of state. We had class in another building and had people from other cities around 1-2 hours away.. zoom class and somewhat hands one last two days.
Thanks for another great video! I’m super nervous about school, sounds so intense. Are you currently driving then for UPS? Are you liking it? Was it a good decision?
Go to the interview it really comes down to how the management is there all places a different I could tell the manager was a asshole right from the start. But all places a different if you get a gut feeling something is rong then dont. Also if your being hired in a large group is sign to.
Just left otr to get in ups. You'll make more money at UPS and from what I hear, the benefits are free. I also heard, the feeder driver (Tractor trailer drivers )don't really do much work and still get paid extremely well. May wanna look into to this before you make your final decision.
UPS is weird. They make the package car drivers go through all this bullshit. When I went to feeder I did a full DOT pretrip and road test. That was it. Took like an hour.
How do you test out on the 5 seeing habits and 10 point commentary? Verbally in front of everyone? One on one with instructor? Can you write it out? Can you give a more detailed account of this process please? Thank you....great videos.
You normally walk out into a hallway or something but all schools are different but you should be able to write it down but they are more strict about it normally
No you normally walk up to a instructor or raise your hand and let them know your ready to take the test. Definitely try to take it first day it will take a lot of weight off your shoulders.
Hey great video! I'm thinking they may get mad for just saying left clear, left clear instead of left driveway clear but maybe I'm wrong: and I'm wondering if you have to look 'left, right, left' as you are passing straight through a simple 2-way intersection or do you just say intersection ahead clear and then pass straight through.. And I was curious if you were going to go over the techniques on establishing proper 'Eye Lead Time' - and T. I. M. M. at traffic lights but that's alright I enjoyed the video thoroughly, well done :)
Your supposed to do that but when the driveways are 20 feet from each other kinda hard to say all that and where I was driving at the school had a lot of intersection so they just said call left or right clear or hazard. I'm sure I forgot a good bit it has been about 8 months since I went. You kinda sound like your a instructor.
Any tips for that location? How strict are they on the 5 and 10? I head there the 28th. a guy at the location i'll be working at said he didn't need every word memorized, just the parts in " " also is it a manual or auto there? Haven't been in a manual in 10 years
Scott Wehnau the 5’s have to be word for word. The 10’s only the bold has to be word for word, then just give an explanation of what they mean. Definitely shave everyday and polish ur boots. But they aren’t that strict, at least right now because they need to hire a bunch of drivers. A guy almost hit a fedex truck on the final test and still passed. Lol oh yea and the trucks are automatic
@@mrkevz818 cool, thanks man! Need to to pick up a new pair of boots since every pair I own is trashed from work. Memorized the the 5 last night and my wife is helping me practice while 'distracting' me. The irony of nearly hitting FedEx lmao
@@kevinmauidude1 good luck man! Like keven said make sure you have the 5s and 10s memorized, a guy got kicked out of my class the last night for being unable to say the 5 and 10. Also watch for cones when you drive the mini town, and always take your diad with you everywhere. Oh and enjoy the food at the hotel! The bourbon burger was absolutely amazing
Harrisburg PA is where I went to school. My hub is in Gettysburg but I’ve been helping out in Carlisle PA because they are short drivers. Technically still a cover driver but I’ll have 5 days of work around 60 hours till at least after peak. This past week was my first week alone on the road
My neighbor retired from usp as a driver. He said the pay is $38/hr but he said now it's a tiered payscale for drivers. 1st year=$15/hr, 2nd year $25/hr, 3rd year $38/hr. Is that correct? Also how long are your shifts (also when does your shift start) and how much overtime can you get?
Well when I started its was a little over 18$ a hr. But now they are changing the pay scale again. From what Im hearing is starting pay is going up but your pay cap is going way down and takes longer to get there.
I've been with UPS for 25 yrs. Preload, cover driver and full time driver. I cant emphasize enough about being safe, no distracted driving and taking care of your body. You do that and you will have a long career.
I was told to learn both the seeing habits and 10 point commentary word for word not just the bold. And to not even add any words. I'm leaving this Sunday to San Jose CA
Christian Cortes that’s rough man, it is overwhelming for sure. I didn’t go to an integrad center, I just went to a different local hub and took a class. Good luck
@@fl_atv_riders4455 charlotte nc still uses them for training according to the ups guys here. Which Is unfortunate because I have to take the test soon and iv never driven manual before. Hopefully youtube videos can teach me enough for me to wing it lol
Fl_ATV_ Riders Oh okay. I’m being sent to Atlanta by my HR rep. I’ve heard it’s super hard and crazy but she said that Intergrad is like that but there’s another type of school that’s not as intense. I was just curious if anyone knew. I’m only going to be temp driving for 3.5 months or so so I’m not sure why they’d send me to the hardest school.
@@chriskennedy8514 I was told Atlanta and Orlando are 2 hardest UPS has to offer one of the guys I went with was just a fill in and he went through the same course I did. So probably just comes down to availability on classes.
@@chriskennedy8514 I went to Orlando biggest thig is to not let them get under your skin. They seem as if thats what they try to do more than anything is stress you out. Just keep safety in mind at all times and be as well prepared as possible.
Intergrad is just to stress you out. You literally use none of that in real life. Also UPS driving is one of shittiest jobs around; money is the only reason these guys hang around. Keep that in mind, before you commit long term.
You are not supposed to use your phone whatsoever while driving. You can use it as a reference when safely stopped but your diad does that as well but it doesn't do a turn by turn route you have to memorize it

Do you take any tests with a manual transmission? or all automatics?
Manual
I personally did not so many people cant drive a stick now days they are transitioning to all autos.
Is the truck they use for training automatic transmission?
Ya the are pretty much doing away with manual transmission's
A little confused on the left is clear right is clear part when you say left mirror is clear. When do you say mirror clear and is it only left mirror?
Mirror part is basically to confirm whether or not someone is behind you after going through a intersection or something of that sort.
Fl_ATV_ Riders so do you call it out after every intersection? Left and right?
@@Robf8621 every time you call left right left you call the mirror after. Also call the mirror at random points while driving.
I have a test on Tuesday but haven’t gone to the school yet. Why are they asking to take the driving test before school?
Just to make sure you can drive a bigger vehicle. Rent a uhaul truck if you have never driven a box truck.
