Is UPS Still $38/Hr.

Work as directed.

 

“Do as they tell you and you will make more money”. Or so I have heard.

 

I've heard that as well. The couple rescue missions I got assigned recently can confirm.

 

you need to get your feet in the door. if you can land that job and do a good a safe job. you will grow well with them. but you do got to put your time in.

 

Ha! In this instant gratification society, good luck. Everybody wants to start out at the top. Too many Chiefs, not enough,,,oops,,um, regular workers.

 

UPS, at least at my location back when I got hired, did the OPPOSITE of recruiting.

"This place sucks the first couple years, then it gets good, then it get great. You just gotta put in your time."

And that assessment was correct. A lot of people didn't make it through the on-call-for-low-pay process. They should've stuck it out.

 

Most trucking companies require extra workers for part of the year only, UPS is one of those companies. They only need you during the Christmas season so you basically stay on as a temp for years hoping one of the older drivers croaks or retires cause they could flip 20 trucks over and not get fired, or you could have connections with the union and get a permanent position that way.

Oh and a guy that was a janitor for 10 years with UPS and has zero experience can basically take your route if he wants.

 

Every terminal is different.
