Yes for the lucky ones that gets hired off the street but MOST have to work in the warehouse 1st b4 becoming a driver.
Warehouse
What’s the approximate average time in the warehouse before you can become a driver?
@@NikoStark1I would like to know this too, thinking of quitting my current cdl job to start working the warehouse for ups in hopes of moving up..
I don’t want to interrupt, but if you can drive a semi , you can drive this package cart 🚛
About 5 years they will work you knowing you waiting to be driver
You really got to be a committed person to work at UPS spend years working at a warehouse to get a driver position and then you have to stay to make sure that it’s worth it by driving for probably at least three years. I got my CDL would’ve loved to work for UPS but after 1.5 years of driving I was over that. I took that money reinvested it into a new skill now I specialize in redecking swimming pools. I really love my job but man I have to admit I still think about if I would have been a UPS driver. Grass is always greener on the other side.
Lots of responsibility and I love my job because I do take a lot of time off there’s always trade-offs
I wanna be a UPS but I was told I have to be a package handler and then move up because it's a union job
Hey Randy, I found this video very helpful I just thought that people don’t just become drivers that fast you must work in the hub (warehouse) for a year or 2 then you become a driver I could be wrong? Keep up the good work!
"love Jesus" got you the sub bruh
I miss working for ups. Been there for 13years. Got fired for buying a jacket on the clock. 🤦🏽♂️
That’s ridiculous!!!!
How you get fired for that ? They didn’t like you or something
@@Giantjolly my manager, hated me. And it didn’t make it any better the fact that the union was in war with management.
Thanks in Oklahoma, I will give it a shot.
What about the road test? Make a video on that.
❤
How many stops per day right now?
110!
Love the “love Jesus” at the end! That explains it all. God bless you bro. Chris
UPS driver in central NY.
Yessir he’s the one that makes it all possible!! I appreciate you brother!!
You don’t find many UPS drivers using social media to answer questions, comments, &concerns about the company. I appreciate you
BECAUSE THIS IS EXTREMELY AGAINST COMPNY POLICY!!!!!
YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSE TO TAKE PICTURES AT ALL. IF YOU ARE COUGHT THEY WILL FIRE YOU IMMEDIATELY AND NOT EVEN THE UNION CAN SAVE YOU!!!!!!
I DOUBT HE’S MAKING ANYTHING FROM THESE VIDEOS AND HE IS JUST STUPIDLY RISKING A $45 / HOUR JOB + THE BEST BENEFITS!!!!!
Most don’t have the time. Guessing he’s doing these videos on his lunch.
That’s because we’re not suppose to. This is considered a big NO NO. He’s lucky he hasn’t gotten fired.
@@slappingclappingfyf sounds like you drink entirely too much of the Kool aid brother man
Not get fired he’s in union
Bro didn’t have to start in the warehouse wtf. Lost my respect lol
This is a good video with some decent information. Keep in mind though the company operates differently depending on which part of the country you live in. UPS & the Teamsters are under what are called supplements which are different than the natuonal master agreement. I am a 22.4 in the Northeast and the hiring process is absolutely nothing like what Randy described here.
That’s how the hiring process goes in Oklahoma
do you know what the dot requirements are in the northeast?
@Randywithups2 can I use you as a reference
Absolutely love your videos!! So inspiring! I've been struggling with what I want to do as a full time career, but after watching your videos, I've been thinking about working as a delivery driver as a full time career job for myself. I really appreciate all the tips and information. I'm definitely going to be looking into getting a job with UPS! God Bless you! Keep loving Jesus :)
GOD BLESSS YOU!!! I appreciate your support so very much you got this I believe in you!!! ❤️
@@Randywithups2You did Not mentioned anything, about a Driver's license.
You need chauffeur license
You do not want to make UPS driver as a full-time career. Try starting a small business or something different. Unless you want to be pissing in a bottle like this guy.
@@BillThaPillups driver are making up to 140k a year lol
Great stuff, Randy!! Your positive attitude is infectious. I hope UPS knows how much you love your job! You set a great example for what a successful young working man should be. You don’t see many young guys today displaying your energy, positivity and work ethic. Lastly, don’t forget about the incredible union that you are a part of- The Teamsters. Maybe some info about that in future videos.
Again, great stuff! Keep it up!
This means the world to me reading this! This motivates me to keep going and creating amazing content even more!! Thank you so much!!! Seriously I appreciate the support!
UPS couldn't care less about you or your positive attitude, or about anything else you do for that matter. You are a number and will be replaced tomorrow if you screw up today!
Oh, and the Teamsters are a super corrupt mob organization and they don't care about you either!
What type of license is required to drive the vehicle in your video is it class a b or c. Just got a call back and trying to get this job! Thank you ! Amazing video.
I believe it’s a c class.
Hello Randy, love your videos. I'm just starting my journey a bit late in life so I hope at 51 I can handle doing this job. But can you cover what to expect during your Driver Test for the Brown Trucks and what to look out for? Thanks again!!
PSA: UPS typically hires drivers from within the company - it’s not common that they post driving jobs to anybody as we are in a union. They only do once they’ve exhausted the list of *union employees* who want to drive and are then desperate to find drivers.
The typical route to becoming a driver involves starting part time in the warehouse. Then once you gain 6 months seniority you can sign up on the driver lists, they are posted in the hub for 1 month in October, some hubs do April too. They will also post emergency driving lists at other times when needed, still before hiring off the streets. The lists then go by highest seniority, so depending how many drivers are needed you might be waiting for a long time, like years. Then the driving school they send you to is very rigorous, I work with a few guys who did not make it through and were sent back to the hub.
I also work with many 22.4 “drivers” who are stuck in the hub right now, please note that 22.4 is not the same as a regular driver…. it’s a driving/inside combo. You’re basically a cover driver when needed but are sent inside the hub when not needed to drive, you’re not paid the same and I’ve heard people get stuck in that position not able to be come a real driver.
The real facts!
@@NikoStark1^*there
@@NikoStark1 *^auto-correct
How much do the warehouse workers make? Is the driving job the coveted position to have?
@@chaff5 currently the starting is 15.50 but with the new contract that’s happening it will go up and some hubs have an “Market Rate Adjustment” where they make more - it’s 23 starting at my hub. And yes driving either package cars or feeder is where the money/career is at!
I currently work as a delivery driver for Amazon and UPS is very intriguing. Question, I’m short (5’3), would I still get hired at ups (if I apply) since I’m short and all? Or height doesn’t matter?
You forgot to mention when you’re in your probation don’t hit anything either you put one little scratch in the truck and it’s game over
Yo bro, I like your energy, you seem like a genuinely positive person. Keep being awesome
💖💪👑JESUS💖AMEN!🕊💖👋😌🙏z!👍!
My 30 days are almost done! Definitely worth the hard work
You got this stay focused!!!
@@Randywithups2 did you guys have make a scratch to qualify?
I was stressed in my 30 days. But qualified back in January.
@@joserodriguez-jr5gy yes 5 days in a row. After that your chilling.
How is it now ?
Once management needs some dirt on this guy they'll be claiming he stole time makin this video. Keep skipping your lunch rookie! They love it when you falsify your timecard so they can scare you with losing your job or just fire you because Randy 2.0 is here and he's slightly faster and will be making less money.
First time watching, great job Randy. I am drawn to watching anything UPS because my partner was a driver, long term back in the day. Started in the 70's. Retired at 60, 30 years in. Thought it was hard work but loved it. God bless you also.
Appreciate the tips! I might have to make the switch one day. 😆
MAKE THE SWITCH!!!
Worked for UPS for 10 years. Overall Iif you wan tto work for this company that cares about numbers rather than people, work here. The reality is that these jobs go to people with senority within the hub not on the website. Most Major Hubs are about a 5 to 7 year wait for brown car driver. Overall I did this job and got the route called the "ball Breaker" got yelled at every night because I ran late due to preload.
Bro y’all don’t have to start as a package handler because in California you have start in the hub for 1 to 3 years base on your sonority date and wait to become a 22.4
Just different by region
Yep looking like four years now:(
Just got through the DOT physical and have the first Integrad training starting next Monday. This was helpful, thanks!
Also, is there not a drug test? I keep expecting one at some step, I am from the mortgage industry desk jockey land where background check and drug test were up front and tentative with your offer letter. I assumed any driver position would have that pre employment.
In Yonkers NY site there is Hipaa and OSCHA violations, regulation and laws are not applied at this location. My friend had to leave his night shift job after his criminal record had been exposed by his boss to his coworkers. Shame on you UPS. He just needed a job!!
First time applicant to UPS. Passed my driving test yesterday. A little concerned about the "strike" that's apparently bound to happen and the fact that it's seasonal. When I asked how long "seasonal" is and if it's possible to go permanent, nobody has been able to give me a straight answer.
Seasonal is only like 2-3 months
hey bro did you have to start out as a package handler and if so, how long did it take you to get offered to drive? appreciate any info you can share!
@@xj2736all depends on which hub and the transfer list. Goes by seniority. Gotta put in the time and pay your dues like everybody else
How did it go ?
when does ups start hiring seasonal drivers? im assuming holidays like October, November, and MOSTLY December.
Hello waching from Philippines. I have 17 years of driving experience here. By November I will be in Tucson Arizona. Can I apply for ups driver after I get a driver's license?
I don’t mean any disrespect but I feel like this video is super misleading and leaves out a lot of information and is too oversimplified. I’m a local CDL driver and I work around UPS truck drivers all day every day at the warehouses we all go to and all of them have told me that everyone starts out in the warehouse as a part timer. It appears that UPS and the Teamsters only like to hire drivers from within.
I applied to be a seasonal driver helper (person on the UPS box truck that helps deliver packages during the holidays) like 7 years ago and the lady in orientation basically scoffed and laughed at me when I asked why we were being told we were going to be working in the warehouse when I applied to be a driver helper.
UPS is a very difficult company to get into and even harder to move up in once you get hired. It’s not uncommon for people to be part timers for as long as 10 years before they get selected to become full time or become drivers.
It took me 9 and yes most drivers are hired from with in but the do hire a certain number from off the street.
Thank you for making this video, I worked for Amazon and FedEx doing delivery driving. But I want the benefits and pay of ups. But I thought I had to start off in the ware house first
Thank you so much for the support! You got this apply at ups-jobs !!!
Each center is different... Some hire off the street if there's a need (like if no one at the warehouse wants to step up from package handler)
They need to follow seniority order and the 6:1 hiring ratio
My name is Randy as well black new upcoming ups driver have a driver test coming up
I applied for a seasonal ups driver in Illinois. But my application is on hold because I need a C Class license. Is this normal
Williams Jessica Rodriguez Donna Jones Mark
Love this video Randy! I am a step van driver with my Amazon DSP. I drive the same truck you drive. I've been driving the box truck for over two years now. Been an Amazon delivery driver for almost three years now but thinking about delivering for UPS someday. I love the physical aspect of the job and working at a good and fast pace. I watch all of your videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there delivering!!
I'm getting a job as a seasonal driver. What are my chances of getting a full-time job?
How much are the union dues? Is it a percentage of ur paycheck weekly? I never worked union before…
Other than this job looks prettt cool and at the end calling on Lord Jesus Dopeness x 1000 He’s cool
Shout out from Tampa FL
Lata dude
Yes it all depends on your pay scale!!! Thank you so much I greatly appreciate you so much!
Hey brother! Great video. Is there any slim chance that I could get promoted after being hired as a seasonal driver?
Gor my road test tomorrow. At my local facility. Driving record spotless on normal license. That's what grabbed their attention.
Rescheduled for Monday. As they didn't have a guy to spare for teaching.
Supposedly it's impossible to get hired as a driver and you have to work part-time on a floating schedule in the warehouse for years, is that true?
Don’t waste your time, you can start making driver money at other companies. I worked for UPS for 4 years, from unloading trucks is were you start to loading and sorting the belts packages. You go buy your hire date and when you sign up to drive. After 4 years they still hadn’t got to my name. Working two jobs because UPS only gives you four hours each day. It was just too hard. Working two jobs for four years. It’s discouraging to see people who are as good of an employee get it time after time.
Passed road test today. Going to driving school next month hope i pass and have to memorize word for word my 5s and 10s
Took me 3 night to memorize the 10s. Writing them down as I was studying helped. You got this brother!
It's total b.s. at my warehouse in Florida all the new drivers are young some old drivers don't want to leave the job and for us the preloaders you got management screaming behind our back
do you deliver heavy packages??? youre so swole ;3
I heard the DOT physical is to check for diabetes and the proteins in your blood, do they also test for any substances? Obviously if u show that u messed up they will bother u … just asking for work oriented people
I’m starting as a pre loader in hopes to someday get on a truck, been a Delivery driver and package courier since I graduated high school, I started out with DHL , then Amazon Dsp Deliveries, then went to FedEx Ground Delivery services, I conversed with a few Ups drivers in my area and knew this was the move I had to make in my career as a package delivery driver, I’m not fond of the idea of working inside of a building but knowing the possibility that I could make it to driver position is worth it, I’m use to the long days heavy lifting and the need to rush to get the packages delivered on a set time schedule, what really got me interested in working for Ups is the structure, benefits, the ability to move up in positions and the respect UPS has over other delivery services.
Bro! This is literally me at the stage im in in my life right now! Did amazon as well. UPS seems like the play 10000% in the long run bro . Lets grind for that driver position !!
go feeder driver not package driver.
Good luck. I'd go with Mail man. It's a lot easier then it looks. UPS is a grind to get those benefits. You have to be there at least 9 months(work hours)for the benefits and five years for a pension.
There rumors going around that they gonna lay off junior 22.4 drivers. My union manager told me they might lay off couple of people in my terminal.
Crazy
This disappointed me reading comments here, saying you have to work in warehouse even if you a driver wtf. I choose my position to be a driver not work where i don't want. But i think i should get class B and drive some dump truck or something else, would make more money that way plus benefits. Anyways thats me.
Do they make allowances for scripted medicines?
You went straight into driving, that’s crazy! One of the lucky ones everyone i know including myself has to work the warehouse, I run a route at FedEx ground get done then do the twilight shift at ups praying I get drafted soon to become a driver I’ve been signing those bids I’ll take whatever the shitty routes that nobody wants I don’t care whatever to get me out the warehouse 😂
Yeah started in 2018!! Yes keep signing the bid lists you’ll get your spot just keeping persisting to drive!!!!
Warehouse be like slavery
@@zone5breezy good workout tho
how long does it take typically to become a driver bro? appreciate any info!
How do you even get a warehouse job? I’ll make commercial DRIVER), but I would like to work for UPS and stay there forever. I wanted to wait as long as it takes to become a box driver.
hey are you familiar with preloaders/cover drivers?
Actually, if you can fog a mirror they'll hire you. No need for liking anything anymore. 😂
So there’s actually rookies doing videos smh…

I’m a really quiet person, like. Antisocial, awkward, I can be nice though. Can I make it as a UPS driver?
I’ve worked at Amazon for almost two years, just in the warehouse. Also worked in two other warehouses before Amazon.
..Probably UPS will just keep me in the warehouse.
I am suprised UPS has not shut you down or tried to? Even tho you represent in a positive manner! I have been retired 1 yr now. 37.5 in pkg and 2.5 PT. It was good to me but hard work! Keep up the good work!
Hey, I was just wondering if you have to know how to drive a stick shift(manual) to drive for UPS?
Most centers are automatic transmissions nowadays
Most *are* automatic, but it’s typically said that you are expected to know manual
i want to apply for UPS but i keep getting sent to these third party websites that aren’t getting me anywhere
Great video man. A couple years ago I started on local sort and then went driving. My third day I got injured. I was offered to go back to local saw, but I was so embarrassed that I just couldnt do it. Fast track to now my knee is a lot better and I want to give another shot so I’m hoping in the spring to go back to local sort and try it again.
Give it another shot you got this!! Thank you for the support!!
What made you want to become ups driver! Why not do something else?
I have orientation for seasonal feeder driver next week do they offer you a postion even if its not a driver postion when the season over 🤔 and is it possible i could get hired on as a driver with out going in the warehouse?
To anyone wondering, the site to apply on is Jobs-UPS, not UPS-Jobs like it says in the video.
This video just randomly showed up in my feed. I did subscribe though. I've never realized how all this UPS stuff works. I've worked for a carpet cleaning service in southern Oklahoma for the past 18 years. Maybe UPS is calling my name? Take care
Yes go for UPS!!
What happens if u fail the 5 day online training
whaat is the difference between a city driver and a freight PU delivery driver? I want to drive a truck like this.
What is your schedule like? Do you work everyday and how many hours typically? Also how are holidays handled?
Why all the Drivers are fine 🤦🏿♀️🤞🏿😛😋😍
After the 30-days probation you become full time UPS driver and get paid $170K/Year, or it will take long time to get there?
Love UPS Delivery Vans are cool.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
will they take in shape 55 year olds switching carrers?
Randy, it's called a "package car" not a truck 😊 just messing with u, love your videos. Thanks for sharing with the public.
Haha you are right though 😜 thank you for the support!
Also it's a service cross not circle, and the proper way to fill it out is date, initials, reason, time D.I.R.T.
@@TRUBLU13 Question for you guys? I'm 35 year retiree since 2013. Just wondering, what do yall think about the ongoing Teamster negotiations? I've seen some videos and comments from a lot of the employees that gives a dreary view of UPS today. In their defense, I have to say, the company has always taken care of me and is still doing so, hopefully the rest of my life. On the other hand, as a office clerical nonunion, my job had been at risk since 1996 when they started cutbacks. And as far as I know, almost every clerical position has been deleted or outsourced.
What’s the requirements you need
He forgot the "sell your soul" aspect of the grand privilege of working for ups.
When I looked up UPS delivery driver jobs, there's only about 40 listed in the entire country. Typing "RPCD" doesn't work, nothing comes up. Is there some other way to become a driver? If I become a package handler at a warehouse nearby, will I get a chance to become a driver soon after? Not sure how to do it. Live in NJ near Philadelphia by the way.
That’s because they don’t usually post the jobs to people on the street. They hire drivers from within the company, so yes absolutely become a package handler first. But you won’t be driving right away, you need to have 6mo before you can sign up on the driving list that is only posted a couple times a year and goes by seniority.
Does ups give you a sequence of stops like 1-2-3-4-5 and you go in order or is it just a bunch of dots on a map and you figure it out because I worked for FedEx Express and they just had a bunch of dots on a map when I was there and about 5 pickups per route with hour long commit times and we were told to just figure it out
Both it has a system where it tells you the order but once you know your route you run it the most efficient way!
@@Randywithups2 oh okay that makes me want to try UPS but I heard this guy at FedEx telling horror stories about how no one gets past the 30 day probation because they just fire them at 28 or 29 days and get new people
@@jeff0997 only way is to find out your self
You'll probably have to figure out the next day air part of the route to the 1030am commit time (like that p1 cycle of express)
Then you start doing that FedEx ground type of p&d process the rest of the day
Just for further clarification, the current contract negotiations/new contract would make it to where all drivers are RPCD drivers.
Did you start right up as a driver? Or did you have to start in the Wearhouse and work your way up there?
I started straight into driving!!
So off the street driver???
Don’t ask for help.

How many Asians do you see or meet that are drivers?
The hiring process is really weird. i am a loader right now and I had to file a grievance over lost seniority because management hired too many seasonal and didn’t put up a bid sheet for the loaders. But now I’m going to Integrad in April!
What’s a loader?
Missing that hazmat book in the truck cab is a BIG no no
Yea tell me about Kansas DOT just got me😐
do UPS hire drivers on cash ??? 💵
I live in Southern California , I followed every instruction you said but the only position available nearby is warehouse handler at starting pay is $16.10, any advise?
yep in California that's how it usually works, i used to work at ups and most of the people working the floor were on a waitlist to move to a driver when the position opened
What is the UPS Road Test?
I'ts hard to become a UPS Driver in CA , I'm Currently working as a Amazon DSP Driver and you know it :)
That’s awesome!!!
Fr
Do I need to get a class B license first ?
bro forgot to mention the five n tens
How many stops are you be doing or depending on the route
It changes for every route!!
How much was ur 1st raise?
I got another question Randy!! How long do you have to work as a driver before they would allow you to switch to another hub, in another state?
You can’t transfer out of state cuz all teamsters aren’t the same. All states have different locals. Mine is 177 cuz I’m in new jersey
Go be honest I’m not 100 percent sure about that question but I will definitely look into that and find out!
Thank you for the info I wasn’t sure about it!
I asked the same question, I was told I could transfer to a different hub as long as it was within district you could carry your seniority with you.. As for out of state I was told no I couldn't unless it included schooling, other than that, I would have to start all over again at the bottom.
Yes you can transfer to another state but your seniority starts all over again .
You have to join the union?
Sounds good, Probably I'll switch from Amazon (current step van driver) to UPS
Good luck. Let me know if you get in.
can you do a state transfer? For example if you start driving for UPS in NC, and need to move out to OR, a different state, will they allow that?
Nice shirt 😂🤦♂️
