    They’re generous with you all, especially if you’re able to have 3 unloaders to a truck. In Dallas it’s only two. I used to work for ups 4 years ago but I’m going back because I was hired to work for UPS Air Freight making $19/hr. I thought Cali would be much higher meaning I’m from there, usually the pay is higher. Thanks for your video.

      @@gunchief0811 Okay thank you. I applied for package handler on the website at ups jobs. During the application you had to fill out the assessment first so I completed it then received an email saying I passed the assessment. Afterwards I had to complete some forms online like the W4 and so on. Then they made me scheduled a day for my orientation (I chose next week Tuesday) but I never received an email or call saying that I’m hired but on the candidate portal it says “reminder orientation is next week” so I’m confused if I have to go or not.

    “Is it worth it?” If you’re trying to be a package delivery driver (makes $80K-$120K a year) then yes it’s worth it. UPS will only hire a small number of drivers off the street, so 80-90% of their drivers are people who worked as a package handler in the warehouse for at least a year and put their names on the seniority list to become a driver. Similar for trailer drivers ($120-$180K per year) but requires a CDL (commercial driver’s license), which UPS may pay for you to get if you agree to drive for them.

      Makes no sense, unloading trailers is the first step of the entire process on the day and it continues for hours.
