Worked in a different warehouse when I was 18 and I did driver helper 2022 Christmas. Now 19 in a smaller warehouse keeping my head down and continuing to push through these early morning preload shifts. The videos are very informative and helpful with my goal to be a driver. I always have to tell myself, all drivers had to go through the same thing to get to that level. Thank you for posting.
Currently wrapping up all the training now, Just finished up day five and did some more driving with a lot of verbalizing all hazards etc etc. here in INDY
NICE!! CONGRATS! The ability to recognize hazards will keep you safe, which is ultimately what matters. Our training is next to none. It's amazing how many hazards we recognize versus when we were non-drivers lol.
Got the job as package handler + DOT/TCD. Already passed my road test, already had my DOT physical done and good for 2 years because I am currently driving for Amazon their bigger vehicles step van. So now my orientation with UPS will be October 4th but they already sent me the integrad online courses already studying learning 5s and 10s and all that what can I say I’m in basically thank you for the advices looking forward to drive and become an RPCD at some point.
Way to take care of business and congrats!! Get those 5s and 10s and you'll be golden. Make sure safety is always #1 priority! You're welcome, share this with a friend or 2 who you think could also benefit or even maybe other new drivers in orientation. Let's Go!
Just like I talked about in the videos, TCD is the way I came in. Concentrate on safety and learning/using the methods. Nervous is natural, but you'll be fine. Good luck!
@@HippieIk Congrats! Safety Safety Safety! Get in early and set your truck up, put packages in order. Work safe always. Good luck! Report back. I have load videos coming soon, stay tuned!

Ive been looking for warehouse and driver positions on and off for like 6 years and i literally never see any available in my area i see them about 2 hours away from me but never in my general area
Thanks for your comment. It seems as if the staffing in that facility is always good enough to not have to bring people in. Many people at the top don't timely retire, and everyone else don't quit. Also, it's hard to get terminated for good because of the union. If that's what you really want, it might be a tough decision to relocate closer to the other location. But, of course that's a huge deal. Good luck and keep me posted!
I had applied for a driver position in Orlando but due to having 2 moving violation earlier this year i was denied. Even though it was my first ever moving violation
I have to complete my pre intergrad testing and then go to Chicago I think. I came off the streets. I passed my road test because I been a driver for Sysco for 15 years
The tractor trailers, we call them feeders, you have to drive package car first. Then it goes by seniority. Once you're a permanent package car driver, you would have to sign the bid list to go into feeders, and like I said, it goes by seniority. Realistically, it could take years, because feeder drivers don't retire often. I hope that helps.
Just seen in Houston they are hiring for seasonal drivers at Mykawa & Stafford location. Mykawa is 5 days and Stafford says 6 days (sometimes a 6th day). Does this mean the stafford location has a lot of work, and maybe it is easier and faster to start as a FT driver? Trying to see my options and what would be best. It seems stafford gets more work than Mykawa station..
Well, just like that, the posts are gone. I initially started at Stafford. Stafford is definitely the bigger facility. I services South Katy, Richmond, Rosenberg, Sugarland, Galleria, most of the sw side, west U, Bellaire, etc. Although we can't know for sure, I would say Stafford could have more work. I hope this helps.
@@ooohsnap7016 Yes, seasonal is just that, seasonal, it ends after the holidays. Part time permanent means that you’re a permanent employee and you’ll still be employed after the season and beyond. I hope that answers.
Limit your time between stops, such as....... 1. Package selection time. Have those upcoming stops close to the bulk head door and know how many. 2. Have the correct number of packages so you're not doubling back to the package car or going back to a stop. 3. Customer interactions...some can talk, but you don't have time right now. 4. Limit dead time like scrolling through your phone or diad. 5. Break when you're on break. When not on break, it's go time. I hope this helps, good luck and report back!!
Hey brotha I’m a class a driver and just got a part time position but permanent as. Package handler. Just praying to god I get full time and down the line become a box driver . Do you think my 10 years of class a experience might help I’m 34 yrs old
Ok, thanks for your comment and congrats on getting a permanent position. Just hang in there, move up in seniority, and become a driver. Just being honest, your class A experience won't help you become a driver faster, however once you're a driver it'll help you because you're used to handling a commercial vehicle. I hope that helps.
@@BrickedOutMedia absolutely not afraid to work either play 🏀 everyday hit gym I guess I gotta put in work first . I’m just hoping it doesn’t take years and years.
How does a TCD turn into a FT Driving position exactly? I know of guys who have been TCD for couple years. Then how does FT Driver get to bid on a route? I get its Seniority but is there anything else to it?
Buildings and/or centers promote TCDs to FT drivers whenever the staffing situation indicates. If TCDs are getting a certain amount of driver punches per year, that's how the building or center know how many more FT drivers are needed. From there, they choose from the FT driver bid list, and it goes from there. As far as the routes, each center has a certain amount of bid routes. Once they go down the seniority list every 2 years, you bid on a route. If there's a route still available by the time they get to your name, you can choose that route. For instance, my center has about 80 drivers with about 58 bid routes. Now, most days theres more than 58 routes on the road, but only 58 are available to be bid on. I hope that helps.
If you worked for USPS prior does that give you an advantage or does it not mean anything? And if I got a job as a handler how hard/easy is it to switch to a driver position?
It doesn't really give you an advantage. It only helps once you get in. Once you're a handler, sign the driver bid sheet EVERY time it's up. And depending on the staffing situation, that'll determine how fast you will get into a driver postion.
@@Oreo13 If you're an inside worker, you literally just sign the actual bid sheet. It will get posted at least once per quarter. If you don't know where the designated bid board area is, just ask someone and sign it every time it goes up. I would sign all of the driver bid sheets. Good luck!
@@BrickedOutMedia Ok thanks I started as a inside worker about a month ago and I didn't know they had bid sheets for driving postions, i'll definatly talk to my supervior about the where the bid board is. Thanks for the help!
Lol they don’t make em like they used to everyone wants to get hired off the street and get top pay and air conditioning. Load some 53 footers in the hub for a couple years earn your stripes
Im a driver out of Belleville, Illinois. Anyone know anything about the Orion update that will lock you on a stop and you’ll have to do that stop? That’s the rumor everyone is freaking out about.
Logically speaking, I don't get freaked out about rumors. I honestly think it's a waste of energy. Think about it, if it's true, then when it's here, we'll just have to adjust..........what else could you do? But, if it's not true, then people just freaked out for nothing. Either way, there's not much you can do about it but stress yourself out. Just my 2 cents. Also, anyone can start a rumor. One thing about this internet, people just be talking a lot of times. Lol
I passed my road test but I stop receiving updates once I got “thanks for your interest “ the lady told me that my info come up as already a preloader idk if that’s why because I’m currently a pre loader . I talked to someone otp they said my application under review idk what to do next they told me weeks ago my class was on the 23rd but haven’t received any updates
@@BrickedOutMedia preloader / cover driver I currently work as a preload right now no the position is currently in another city that’s like 30 minutes away
@@1scdaijah That could most definitely be the reason. Is there not anything available for your building? Union hourlies aren't really allowed to "transfer". Try to see if you can get someone on the line or talk to someone from your building.
@@BrickedOutMedia yeah I’m apart of the union , I feel like there more of a chance I’ll drive more at the other one . I believe it’s because I’m at a different location but hopefully they will transfer me I won’t be doing preload anymore once I get there
@@1scdaijah You might be able to get a transfer, but it's rare. An if you did, with the TCD position, your primary job will be preload when they don't need you to drive. As a default, just expect to do preload. Good luck.
First of all, congrats!! They'll send you to training/integrad. Study the materials, arrive on time everyday, be prepared, and make sure your appearance is up to par. Good luck and let me know how it goes!!
@@rick1992brwak It really comes down to the staffing situation at that facility. A certain amount of workers will be promoted to RPCD per year depending on how many driver punches TCDs are getting per year. So let's just say that facility has to promote 4 people to RPCD. You sign the bid list for RPCD every quarter like you should. If you're in those top 4 in seniority who signed the bid list, you'll get in. Then it's 4 year from that point to top pay. So, basically it depends on staffing. I hope that helps. Look out for my livestream where I'll answer questions. I'll post the time and date in my community section!
@@johnravens9869 Ok cool. They can fail you if you don't know them. But, since you've passed, I would learn them asap. Either way, you're going to need and use the methods everyday. Report back.

@@BrickedOutMedia thanks for responding my guy! Do pickups affect that? Especially when they don't have them ready in the window they say they should be ready?
@@shieldb I wouldn't worry about that. They typically will give you mostly easy deliveries, residentials most of the time. Pickups do affect that, but you probably won't have any. Heavy pickups with a lot of pieces will help that cause.
