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!!
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
@@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’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 !!
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.
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!
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!!
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.
Just watched my first video on your channel and subscribed. Thanks for the awesome content and info. Going for my road test and hopefully will be hired as a temp cover driver. Thanks@Randywithups
I’m a part time supervisor at UPS rn and have been for about 2 months but am considering being a driver bc benefits, pay, hours, and work life seems much better. I know you all work long hours but would rather have that than waking up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning 😬 one other pro to a driver is even though you have customers, you don’t deal with people much and are on your own. And it’s hands on work not being at a desk all day too 💯 that’s a big reason why I chose UPS. I am a little nervous for 30 day probation period due to pressure of delivering fast and etc or knowing routes but I have driven 16’ and a little bit of 26’ box trucks before so I could be ok driving package cars. Any thoughts, input, or anything for me??
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
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
Been at Amazon for about 2 years now and this video helped a lot. Appreciate that. Been thinking about Postal Service or UPS since at Amazon there isn’t much to grow
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?
Im in driver training right now after doing preload/unload for a little over a year. All the training is good, i understand the 5s & 10s byt so far not much practical, hands on training. Like i havent driven the truck since my road test. For you, what was the toughest part about passing all the drill tests, etc.? Or what was the toughest part of learning the routine? DIAD, driving, the route? Thanks!
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 😂
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.
I don’t work for ups my best friend does and I’m looking to get into the tractor trailer position. U still got to know ur 5 and 10s right? That’s just as important lol. Have a blessed one bro continue to the work for the lord and spread love! ✊🏾🔥
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.
Great video letting us know what Integrad is about… I hear you have to learn what they call the 5’s and 10’s… how well should I know them? I go to Integrad in a few weeks. Thanks!
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.
Hi Randy. Thanks for the video. I just did my second peak season this time as a driver helper so I felt like I needed to get up in that jump seat and run packages. I'm totally cool with starting in the warehouse. Do you have any advice for me? I never missed a day and I think being on time is being late.
I got hired as a delivery driver helper seasonal how can be permanent and work my way up to be a delivery driver how long do i wait to become a ups delivery driver do i ask or do i just wait for them to give it to me.. i need advice on how UPS can keep me after the helper seasonal is over i really want to become a UPS DELIVERY DRIVER
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!
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.
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?
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
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!
Hey bro u know how ups drivers have to piss in a bottle inside the truck while ur on the clock. Do you prefer the arrowhead gallon bottles? Cuz u know they have a wider cap? And how do u wash ur hands after, or do you at all?
Brother I’m with frito lay now and have been for almost 3 years. I’m on the hunt to become a UPS driver. Always wanted to. I’m gonna keep an eye out on my local ups career website couple times a day to hopefully get hired as a driver on outside. ✝️🙏✝️
Hey HR reached out to me after a couple weeks and ask if I was still interested in the position of cover driver. Should I do this and do you know the 5 year hourly pay per year.
Whats up Randy, I used to work for ups in Miami Florida as a warehouse worker. Are they still doing the Manuel driving portion to become a driver or does that depend on the state.
Hey Randy Good Video I Always Wanted To Become A UPS Driver....One Question I Have A Certificate Of Completion Of Shipping And Receiving Is That A Good Plus?
I don’t mean to be a party pooper but beware of automation: everything a UPS employee can be done machine already, except for driving, which itself isn’t too far away now. You could say the Union will protect its employees but there’s little you can do when big corporations really make up their minds.
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!
I send in my application and I get a call so far so good I am waiting for my driving test, so i am praying for the space ,bless up yourself thank for the info 🙏😁
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.
This looks all new. I tried applying when we first move to Norcal mt shasta 3 years ago.. I went online. tried doin the steps. then they wanted some test online. I couldn't figure it out. I think its sucks its all online. u should be abled to apply in person..
How many hours a week does one work as a driver and how long are your days? Does everyone more or less start at the same time? How often does one rescue other drivers (sorry if UPS uses a different term)? I’m hearing conflicting stories about how drivers are treated. The older drivers say there’s abuse from the hub managers but younger/newer drivers say it’s much different now? Thoughts? What are some potential rule changes -if any- prospective drivers should know about going into this line of work? Any major or mild changes UPS might make that drivers should know about? I drove for Amazon for 2 years before leaving. Body still has plenty of gas left in the tank. Debating whether I should go to college or settle for a high paying labor job 🤔 Thanks in advance
Hold Up , Where do you work where you can Bypass the warehouse to become a driver? I had to wait a year and a half in the warehouse before I was considered.
Love your video the one thing you left out once they pass training. They will be going out with a driver. The UPS driver train the newer driver. Every new driver they get a training route and that route has less stop
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
@@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
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
Hey what the step rate for the yearly increase? At how many years does it take to reach the full hourly rate? When you get off probation do you get a route no matter what or is there a chance you won’t have enough seniority to hold a route?
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?
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.
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
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.
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!!
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 don’t find many UPS drivers using social media to answer questions, comments, &concerns about the company. I appreciate you

Just for further clarification, the current contract negotiations/new contract would make it to where all drivers are RPCD drivers.
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!
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?
Does ups truck have cameras in there? Like Amazon dps does?
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 ?
Randy that is a really good informative video on UPS. Just one question:- Do they keep 60 plus guys who are physically fit??
will experience help to become a ups driver? im currently a fedex ground driver and im looking forward to drive for UPS. can you please let me know?
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?
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?
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!!
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?
hey are you familiar with preloaders/cover 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???
I’m starting to work there soon! My test run is tomorrow, I’d be working in the store with my mother! :)
Hey bro u know how ups drivers have to piss in a bottle inside the truck while ur on the clock. Do you prefer the arrowhead gallon bottles? Cuz u know they have a wider cap?
And how do u wash ur hands after, or do you at all?
whaat is the difference between a city driver and a freight PU delivery driver? I want to drive a truck like this.
Brother I’m with frito lay now and have been for almost 3 years. I’m on the hunt to become a UPS driver. Always wanted to. I’m gonna keep an eye out on my local ups career website couple times a day to hopefully get hired as a driver on outside. ✝️🙏✝️
I'm getting a job as a seasonal driver. What are my chances of getting a full-time job?
Do you have to become a package handler first before becoming a trained driver?
Hey HR reached out to me after a couple weeks and ask if I was still interested in the position of cover driver. Should I do this and do you know the 5 year hourly pay per year.
Whats up Randy, I used to work for ups in Miami Florida as a warehouse worker. Are they still doing the Manuel driving portion to become a driver or does that depend on the state.
Hi Randy. I am trying to help my brother land this position. He currently has a road test scheduled. Any tips for this ? Thanks in advance !
Hey Randy Good Video I Always Wanted To Become A UPS Driver....One Question I Have A Certificate Of Completion Of Shipping And Receiving Is That A Good Plus?
Will we need the license for driving the trucks before hand or do they provide training for it?
I just got hired as a pre-loader. I’m looking forward to what my future with UPS can look like!
I don’t mean to be a party pooper but beware of automation: everything a UPS employee can be done machine already, except for driving, which itself isn’t too far away now. You could say the Union will protect its employees but there’s little you can do when big corporations really make up their minds.
Do you need a cdl license? And what's the difference in pay between the two?
But do you have to work at the warehouse first before becoming a driver ? Or can you become a driver and skipping the warehouse part ?
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!
Would you recommend being a tcd in hope to becoming a fulltime driver ?
I send in my application and I get a call so far so good I am waiting for my driving test, so i am praying for the space ,bless up yourself thank for the info 🙏😁
when does ups start hiring seasonal drivers? im assuming holidays like October, November, and MOSTLY December.
Where I'm from, in New York it's work 40 days within a 70 day period
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.
This looks all new. I tried applying when we first move to Norcal mt shasta 3 years ago.. I went online. tried doin the steps. then they wanted some test online. I couldn't figure it out. I think its sucks its all online. u should be abled to apply in person..
Thanks God Randy I m the lucky one got in ups as a driver from street
How many hours a week does one work as a driver and how long are your days?
Does everyone more or less start at the same time?
How often does one rescue other drivers (sorry if UPS uses a different term)?
I’m hearing conflicting stories about how drivers are treated. The older drivers say there’s abuse from the hub managers but younger/newer drivers say it’s much different now? Thoughts?
What are some potential rule changes -if any- prospective drivers should know about going into this line of work? Any major or mild changes UPS might make that drivers should know about?
I drove for Amazon for 2 years before leaving. Body still has plenty of gas left in the tank. Debating whether I should go to college or settle for a high paying labor job 🤔
Thanks in advance
I will make a video over all this!!!
@@Randywithups2 please make a video!
60 plus hours a week!!
@@jeffjoyce269 at our hub we can’t pass 60 hrs
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
Hold Up , Where do you work where you can Bypass the warehouse to become a driver? I had to wait a year and a half in the warehouse before I was considered.
Wow! Sounds like a good gig! Thanks for the info.
Love your video the one thing you left out once they pass training. They will be going out with a driver. The UPS driver train the newer driver. Every new driver they get a training route and that route has less stop
True true!
@@Randywithups2 when are you going to make a new videos? I’ve been looking forward to your video
Do you have to first become a seasonal driver?
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
Hey what the step rate for the yearly increase? At how many years does it take to reach the full hourly rate? When you get off probation do you get a route no matter what or is there a chance you won’t have enough seniority to hold a route?
Go check out my older videos I have that exact video explaining! These are all great amazing questions if you can’t find it let me know!
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?
What a regal UPS driver’s schedule for the week looks like?
Heads up, as of right now (I'm SoCal based) there are layoffs and nobody will be moved up to drivers for a long time now
I'm starting Tuesday 10/10/2023 as a seasonal worker, what do i need to do to stay after those 3 months end.
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?
Hi Randy, during your 30s, do you need to hit atleast 3 times your hours to become rpcd?
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.
I really had my eye on this position and this video helped so much!
I’ve got my interview and road test on Monday! I’m really hoping to get in! I’m pre nervous for the interview so hope I crush it!
Sounds good, Probably I'll switch from Amazon (current step van driver) to UPS
Good luck. Let me know if you get in.
I live in Southern California , I followed every instruction you said but the only position available nearby is warehouse handler at starting pay is $16.10, any advise?
yep in California that's how it usually works, i used to work at ups and most of the people working the floor were on a waitlist to move to a driver when the position opened
I got another question Randy!! How long do you have to work as a driver before they would allow you to switch to another hub, in another state?
You can’t transfer out of state cuz all teamsters aren’t the same. All states have different locals. Mine is 177 cuz I’m in new jersey
Go be honest I’m not 100 percent sure about that question but I will definitely look into that and find out!
Thank you for the info I wasn’t sure about it!
I asked the same question, I was told I could transfer to a different hub as long as it was within district you could carry your seniority with you.. As for out of state I was told no I couldn't unless it included schooling, other than that, I would have to start all over again at the bottom.
Yes you can transfer to another state but your seniority starts all over again .
do you deliver heavy packages??? youre so swole ;3
Hey Randy I am an Okie, I don’t see any positions posted as a driver.
Are they rare to find?
Is the warehouse a good way to get a foot in?
I am in OKC
Just friends what time of the year$! Great to see Okies supporting!
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!!
