r/UPSers

Manager asked Preloaders to come in on day off at 12:30am till 8:30am.

Is this 2 shifts or one?
I wonder if we’ll get a lunch break🤣

Pace yourself team.
Get in, get after it, get out 👊🏼

For example if I catch them doing union work do I need to tell them to stop before filing

According to our building manager UPS has authorized our building to hire 8 FT RPCDs. We've been running extremely lean for two years now and 30 to 40 9.5s have been filed weekly. Last year there were some drivers in the building grossing $140k plus (at least 15k in grievance payouts). Im not sure how long this process will play out, but there are seasonal drivers and SVD drivers that are frothing at the mouth to get a seniority date. Anyone else's building hiring FT RPCDs?

Im a FT driver and have contemplated quitting numerous times because of the workload and hours away from wife, kids, and home. This news feels like relief, but I am weary of the promises made by the company and how little the company cares about the driver group.

Has anyone else gotten bed bugs from the vans at Worldport?

Location: I'm afraid to say where due to retaliation, but let's say East Coast, USA.

I work for United Parcel Service (UPS). You know, the big brown trucks that deliver packages incase you didn't know.

Recently, our building has been greatly understaffed. Most of us are maxing out our DOT hours. We're bringing back packages undelivered due to this.

Usually when we can't deliver packages due to running out DOT hours, we scan the package as "missed". This tells the customer that we weren't able to deliver it today for many different reasons such as running out of time, or it was loaded onto the wrong truck by mistake in a different area etc etc.

When we can't deliver a package due to weather, we scan the package as "EC" or known as emergency condition.

The difference between missed and EC is missed is our fault. EC is in a way out of our control (unsafe to deliver such as a snowy driveway, closed road).

Due to a lot of drivers maxing out their 14 hour daily DOT limit, thousands of packages are coming back undelivered. We're being instructed not to scan it missed and that the company will scan it themselves. I later learned that they are scanning it with some sort of weather scan. It's to my understanding this weather scan makes it so the company isn't at fault.

The reason why I find this possibly fraud is because people who pay extra money for overnight shipping, two day shipping, etc etc would normally get a refund due to us missing the deadline for the expedite shipping. It's to my understanding when the company scans it as weather related, they now don't owe a refund. If it was scanned correctly as missed, they would owe a refund.

Is this a billion dollar fraud? No, but I find this very wrong. One of the few ways to get fired at UPS is being dishonest. They'll fire you immediately for scanning anything dishonestly and knowingly. Yet they are doing it and saving themselves from paying out refunds that are owed to the customer. I have no idea what dollar amount this would add up to, but if you've ever shipped something overnight than you would know it's not cheap and could add up quick when you're talking about thousands of packages over a couple of months.

Thanks for your time and help.

I got injured while having a water balloon fight.. embarrassing right, well don’t think I broke it just sprained it very bad. What if I wait to go to er tmr? Only cuz today is the 4th and I don’t wanna ruin things here

When I was a cover driver 2020-2023 I got sent to other centers and buildings constantly. Now I’m a rpcd and, the company is arguing, saying bottom rpcd have to be loaned out before cover drivers. Isn’t this a seniority violation? Or can they decide to redefine how to enforce the contract?

So I’ve been on vacation, and they sent me the schedule for this week, says I’m supposed to work Monday, no text asking if I’d be available to work Monday, no call, no nothing, just a schedule, I’m supposed to fly in Monday morning, is that allowed to schedule me for a extra shift without asking me? I knew peak season 6 day was mandatory but not this

Is it worth it?
