Strict Rules UPS Drivers Really Have To Follow

Orion killed the left turn stuff but the general public has no clue how hard we work as UPS drivers.

If you are expecting a package that REQUIRES A SIGNATURE come to the door ASAP we will bounce in like 20 seconds !!!!

You’re right about them being on top of drivers every second of the day. I got fired for “stealing time” because I went to a grocery store to use the bathroom. The truth is they didn’t like that I wasn’t running and killing myself. Luckily I got my job back with back pay.

The peeing in water bottles thing is completely true

My buddy works there, guys a frigging hard worker, please let couriers in in traffic they have a hell of a hard job.

Started as a delivery driver in San Francisco 1979. A much simpler time. No cell phones, no GPS trackers and all delivery parcels were hand written on clip boards with carbon paper. Lots of COD cash on deliveries, easy to collect north of $500 daily. No parcel weighed over 50 lbs! Still a parcel service not a freight company. No FedEx yet, no next day air just UPS and the US mail delivery trucks on the streets. Hitting my 10 year safe driving award was an not easy driving in San Francisco, hills and all trucks with manual transmissions. So many stories and memories. The frustration between drivers and stupidvisiors was a daily hell. I still tell ups drivers to not be a rabbit on delivery if you want to last. Long retired, I never wear brown or own a brown vehicle.

the whole " stealing time" thing is micro managing horse shit

This is pretty accurate. I worked there 41 years: 7 P/T in the hub, 3 as a package car driver and 31 in Feeder (tractor trailers). I was fired in 1985 because I had the nerve to take my wife to the hospital when she went into labor. My manager had told me "real men dont go into a delivery room, you will be here doing your job". Well the next day I came to work and he fired me for taking 1 minute too long on lunch. I was off work for two weeks until the Union met with them and the details came out. Great money, great benefits but total assholes to work for. Every driver I know has a horror story of abuse.

Dear UPS drivers. we sure do appreciate you work.

UPS is one of the worst jobs I've ever worked, and that says something because I've worked in dozens of different fields. I couldn't even stop to take a lunch break because of the 450+ packages UPS gave me to deliver each day. And they needed all 450 packages to be delivered in 12 hours max. UPS management does not view their drivers as humans beings, but they view them as money making machines. I thank Jesus that I no longer need to work for UPS

Inter-grad was the most INTENSE training I HAD EVER EXPERIENCED. I thought they were crazy, checking the pleats in our pants and looking in our boots to make sure we had on black or UPS approved socks. I loved being a driver just not the BS management put you through. Video was very much on point.

They don't trust their drivers to make correct decision, those managers and bosses should deliver the packages themselves.

I had no idea UPS was like this, I actually feel bad for the drivers. Being micro managed like that must suck

as a UPS employee for over 26 years I have seen the evolution of management at UPS from experienced management interested in safe efficient workers to zero experienced greedy managers interested in stealing the life of its employees. its disgusting. they would rather write you up for taking a piss on the clock, than find reasonable solutions to problems. I love the job, the people on my route, but i am considering retiring early and getting a different job simply because of the sheer stupidity of management.

I just quit working for amazon as a driver, the claim about pissing in the trucks is true. On your first day you go on a ride along and the person training you explains things like that. There's alot of bullshit that goes with that job, plus the occasional close call mauling encounters with dogs.

My dad has worked for UPS for over 40 years. Every rule in this video is accurate. My dad worked his way up, from sorting packages in the hub to driving an 18-wheeler (not technically 18, but close enough). He is very much looking forward to the day that he can retire and never have to set foot on UPS property again

I live way out in the country on a gravel road. I can hear the UPS driver coming up the road welll over a half a mile away so I greet him at the driveway to help him get on his way quicker. Those square trucks really create a dust vortex that lingers in the air for quite a while.

I went to UPS orientation and I never heard the word “work” so many times in my life. I quickly figured out why they’re always hiring.

Worked for UPS 11 years and these are 100% accurate. I would share these rules and others with friends and family that didn't work there and they thought I was exaggerating.

I did that job 2 years ago. I didn’t mind the job itself but hated my management team. I’m a truck driver at XPO Logistics now. Really good company, you just have to be willing to put in a lot of hours
