Love this video Randy! I am a step van driver with my Amazon DSP. I drive the same truck you drive. I've been driving the box truck for over two years now. Been an Amazon delivery driver for almost three years now but thinking about delivering for UPS someday. I love the physical aspect of the job and working at a good and fast pace. I watch all of your videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there delivering!!
First time watching, great job Randy. I am drawn to watching anything UPS because my partner was a driver, long term back in the day. Started in the 70's. Retired at 60, 30 years in. Thought it was hard work but loved it. God bless you also.
Great stuff, Randy!! Your positive attitude is infectious. I hope UPS knows how much you love your job! You set a great example for what a successful young working man should be. You don’t see many young guys today displaying your energy, positivity and work ethic. Lastly, don’t forget about the incredible union that you are a part of- The Teamsters. Maybe some info about that in future videos. Again, great stuff! Keep it up!
This means the world to me reading this! This motivates me to keep going and creating amazing content even more!! Thank you so much!!! Seriously I appreciate the support!
UPS couldn't care less about you or your positive attitude, or about anything else you do for that matter. You are a number and will be replaced tomorrow if you screw up today!
My friend is a ups driver in Texas. I served in the military with him. He's been at ups for 15 years... he's been a driver for 12 years. He makes well over 100,000 a year. I've been at UPS for 6 months. Been offered a supervisor position twice. Turned it down twice. I want to remain in the union and be a driver.
You really got to be a committed person to work at UPS spend years working at a warehouse to get a driver position and then you have to stay to make sure that it’s worth it by driving for probably at least three years. I got my CDL would’ve loved to work for UPS but after 1.5 years of driving I was over that. I took that money reinvested it into a new skill now I specialize in redecking swimming pools. I really love my job but man I have to admit I still think about if I would have been a UPS driver. Grass is always greener on the other side.
Absolutely love your videos!! So inspiring! I've been struggling with what I want to do as a full time career, but after watching your videos, I've been thinking about working as a delivery driver as a full time career job for myself. I really appreciate all the tips and information. I'm definitely going to be looking into getting a job with UPS! God Bless you! Keep loving Jesus :)
You do not want to make UPS driver as a full-time career. Try starting a small business or something different. Unless you want to be pissing in a bottle like this guy.
This is a good video with some decent information. Keep in mind though the company operates differently depending on which part of the country you live in. UPS & the Teamsters are under what are called supplements which are different than the natuonal master agreement. I am a 22.4 in the Northeast and the hiring process is absolutely nothing like what Randy described here.
Yeah I live in Meriden Ct, I worked at the one in North Haven for 3 years. I took the driving test and I failed not by much though.Come to find out after 3 years /covid that they wasn't hiring any new drivers. Complete waste of my time smh !
I’m starting as a pre loader in hopes to someday get on a truck, been a Delivery driver and package courier since I graduated high school, I started out with DHL , then Amazon Dsp Deliveries, then went to FedEx Ground Delivery services, I conversed with a few Ups drivers in my area and knew this was the move I had to make in my career as a package delivery driver, I’m not fond of the idea of working inside of a building but knowing the possibility that I could make it to driver position is worth it, I’m use to the long days heavy lifting and the need to rush to get the packages delivered on a set time schedule, what really got me interested in working for Ups is the structure, benefits, the ability to move up in positions and the respect UPS has over other delivery services.
Bro! This is literally me at the stage im in in my life right now! Did amazon as well. UPS seems like the play 10000% in the long run bro . Lets grind for that driver position !!
Good luck. I'd go with Mail man. It's a lot easier then it looks. UPS is a grind to get those benefits. You have to be there at least 9 months(work hours)for the benefits and five years for a pension.
Hello Randy, love your videos. I'm just starting my journey a bit late in life so I hope at 51 I can handle doing this job. But can you cover what to expect during your Driver Test for the Brown Trucks and what to look out for? Thanks again!!
Just watched my first video on your channel and subscribed. Thanks for the awesome content and info. Going for my road test and hopefully will be hired as a temp cover driver. Thanks@Randywithups
Been at Amazon for about 2 years now and this video helped a lot. Appreciate that. Been thinking about Postal Service or UPS since at Amazon there isn’t much to grow
I’m a part time supervisor at UPS rn and have been for about 2 months but am considering being a driver bc benefits, pay, hours, and work life seems much better. I know you all work long hours but would rather have that than waking up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning 😬 one other pro to a driver is even though you have customers, you don’t deal with people much and are on your own. And it’s hands on work not being at a desk all day too 💯 that’s a big reason why I chose UPS. I am a little nervous for 30 day probation period due to pressure of delivering fast and etc or knowing routes but I have driven 16’ and a little bit of 26’ box trucks before so I could be ok driving package cars. Any thoughts, input, or anything for me??
Thank you for making this video, I worked for Amazon and FedEx doing delivery driving. But I want the benefits and pay of ups. But I thought I had to start off in the ware house first
Each center is different... Some hire off the street if there's a need (like if no one at the warehouse wants to step up from package handler) They need to follow seniority order and the 6:1 hiring ratio
Great video man. A couple years ago I started on local sort and then went driving. My third day I got injured. I was offered to go back to local saw, but I was so embarrassed that I just couldnt do it. Fast track to now my knee is a lot better and I want to give another shot so I’m hoping in the spring to go back to local sort and try it again.
This video just randomly showed up in my feed. I did subscribe though. I've never realized how all this UPS stuff works. I've worked for a carpet cleaning service in southern Oklahoma for the past 18 years. Maybe UPS is calling my name? Take care
PSA: UPS typically hires drivers from within the company - it’s not common that they post driving jobs to anybody as we are in a union. They only do once they’ve exhausted the list of *union employees* who want to drive and are then desperate to find drivers. The typical route to becoming a driver involves starting part time in the warehouse. Then once you gain 6 months seniority you can sign up on the driver lists, they are posted in the hub for 1 month in October, some hubs do April too. They will also post emergency driving lists at other times when needed, still before hiring off the streets. The lists then go by highest seniority, so depending how many drivers are needed you might be waiting for a long time, like years. Then the driving school they send you to is very rigorous, I work with a few guys who did not make it through and were sent back to the hub. I also work with many 22.4 “drivers” who are stuck in the hub right now, please note that 22.4 is not the same as a regular driver…. it’s a driving/inside combo. You’re basically a cover driver when needed but are sent inside the hub when not needed to drive, you’re not paid the same and I’ve heard people get stuck in that position not able to be come a real driver.
@@chaff5 currently the starting is 15.50 but with the new contract that’s happening it will go up and some hubs have an “Market Rate Adjustment” where they make more - it’s 23 starting at my hub. And yes driving either package cars or feeder is where the money/career is at!
I am suprised UPS has not shut you down or tried to? Even tho you represent in a positive manner! I have been retired 1 yr now. 37.5 in pkg and 2.5 PT. It was good to me but hard work! Keep up the good work!
You went straight into driving, that’s crazy! One of the lucky ones everyone i know including myself has to work the warehouse, I run a route at FedEx ground get done then do the twilight shift at ups praying I get drafted soon to become a driver I’ve been signing those bids I’ll take whatever the shitty routes that nobody wants I don’t care whatever to get me out the warehouse 😂
Hey Randy, I found this video very helpful I just thought that people don’t just become drivers that fast you must work in the hub (warehouse) for a year or 2 then you become a driver I could be wrong? Keep up the good work!
I don’t work for ups my best friend does and I’m looking to get into the tractor trailer position. U still got to know ur 5 and 10s right? That’s just as important lol. Have a blessed one bro continue to the work for the lord and spread love! ✊🏾🔥
First time applicant to UPS. Passed my driving test yesterday. A little concerned about the "strike" that's apparently bound to happen and the fact that it's seasonal. When I asked how long "seasonal" is and if it's possible to go permanent, nobody has been able to give me a straight answer.
The hiring process is really weird. i am a loader right now and I had to file a grievance over lost seniority because management hired too many seasonal and didn’t put up a bid sheet for the loaders. But now I’m going to Integrad in April!
What type of license is required to drive the vehicle in your video is it class a b or c. Just got a call back and trying to get this job! Thank you ! Amazing video.
Great video letting us know what Integrad is about… I hear you have to learn what they call the 5’s and 10’s… how well should I know them? I go to Integrad in a few weeks. Thanks!
Just got through the DOT physical and have the first Integrad training starting next Monday. This was helpful, thanks! Also, is there not a drug test? I keep expecting one at some step, I am from the mortgage industry desk jockey land where background check and drug test were up front and tentative with your offer letter. I assumed any driver position would have that pre employment.
Love your video the one thing you left out once they pass training. They will be going out with a driver. The UPS driver train the newer driver. Every new driver they get a training route and that route has less stop
I don’t mean to be a party pooper but beware of automation: everything a UPS employee can be done machine already, except for driving, which itself isn’t too far away now. You could say the Union will protect its employees but there’s little you can do when big corporations really make up their minds.
I have orientation for seasonal feeder driver next week do they offer you a postion even if its not a driver postion when the season over 🤔 and is it possible i could get hired on as a driver with out going in the warehouse?
Hi Randy. Thanks for the video. I just did my second peak season this time as a driver helper so I felt like I needed to get up in that jump seat and run packages. I'm totally cool with starting in the warehouse. Do you have any advice for me? I never missed a day and I think being on time is being late.
This looks all new. I tried applying when we first move to Norcal mt shasta 3 years ago.. I went online. tried doin the steps. then they wanted some test online. I couldn't figure it out. I think its sucks its all online. u should be abled to apply in person..
Does ups give you a sequence of stops like 1-2-3-4-5 and you go in order or is it just a bunch of dots on a map and you figure it out because I worked for FedEx Express and they just had a bunch of dots on a map when I was there and about 5 pickups per route with hour long commit times and we were told to just figure it out
@@Randywithups2 oh okay that makes me want to try UPS but I heard this guy at FedEx telling horror stories about how no one gets past the 30 day probation because they just fire them at 28 or 29 days and get new people
You'll probably have to figure out the next day air part of the route to the 1030am commit time (like that p1 cycle of express) Then you start doing that FedEx ground type of p&d process the rest of the day
I send in my application and I get a call so far so good I am waiting for my driving test, so i am praying for the space ,bless up yourself thank for the info 🙏😁
Worked for UPS for 10 years. Overall Iif you wan tto work for this company that cares about numbers rather than people, work here. The reality is that these jobs go to people with senority within the hub not on the website. Most Major Hubs are about a 5 to 7 year wait for brown car driver. Overall I did this job and got the route called the "ball Breaker" got yelled at every night because I ran late due to preload.
Good luck!! I will say feeders are based off of seniority so I’m pretty sure you have to start as a package car driver then get your senority then bid for a feeder position!
Yeah I’ve heard of that but we have a new building opening up and I’ve heard that they are short on feeder drivers so fingers crossed they pick me off the street if not I’ll try to be a yard shifter or go package car
I signed up for a helper position at UPS. I am wondering if this will lead me possibly to a driver there were no driver positions available when I looked at the website so I took the drivers helper position. Curious if I am going down the right road thank you.
Im in driver training right now after doing preload/unload for a little over a year. All the training is good, i understand the 5s & 10s byt so far not much practical, hands on training. Like i havent driven the truck since my road test. For you, what was the toughest part about passing all the drill tests, etc.? Or what was the toughest part of learning the routine? DIAD, driving, the route? Thanks!
Brother I’m with frito lay now and have been for almost 3 years. I’m on the hunt to become a UPS driver. Always wanted to. I’m gonna keep an eye out on my local ups career website couple times a day to hopefully get hired as a driver on outside. ✝️🙏✝️
I got a hire date for a seasonal driver helper. I hope it turns into something permanent. I have to go in Monday for 4 hours. I don't know what its gonna entaile but I'm nervous!!!
Was "let go" in 2016 by UPS after 21 years at the only job I really loved. Always ran good numbers and ran bonus daily, but 1 bad day after years of crappy loaders sealed my fate(not delivering 2 misloads) ended that. even at 55 I could still rock just like a "runner" and run under except for them damn Mall routes as they have really lousy time studies
I asked the same question, I was told I could transfer to a different hub as long as it was within district you could carry your seniority with you.. As for out of state I was told no I couldn't unless it included schooling, other than that, I would have to start all over again at the bottom.
You don’t find many UPS drivers using social media to answer questions, comments, &concerns about the company. I appreciate you
BECAUSE THIS IS EXTREMELY AGAINST COMPNY POLICY!!!!!
YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSE TO TAKE PICTURES AT ALL. IF YOU ARE COUGHT THEY WILL FIRE YOU IMMEDIATELY AND NOT EVEN THE UNION CAN SAVE YOU!!!!!!

Most don’t have the time. Guessing he’s doing these videos on his lunch.
That’s because we’re not suppose to. This is considered a big NO NO. He’s lucky he hasn’t gotten fired.

Not get fired he’s in union
Yes for the lucky ones that gets hired off the street but MOST have to work in the warehouse 1st b4 becoming a driver.
Warehouse
What’s the approximate average time in the warehouse before you can become a driver?
@@NikoStark1I would like to know this too, thinking of quitting my current cdl job to start working the warehouse for ups in hopes of moving up..
I don’t want to interrupt, but if you can drive a semi , you can drive this package cart 🚛
About 5 years they will work you knowing you waiting to be driver

Hi Randy. Thanks for the video. I just did my second peak season this time as a driver helper so I felt like I needed to get up in that jump seat and run packages. I'm totally cool with starting in the warehouse. Do you have any advice for me? I never missed a day and I think being on time is being late.
God bless you brother thanks for sharing you’ve got a great heart
You forgot the 5 seeing habits and 10 point commentary. That you must have it memorized. Word for word for the 5s.
Hey, I was just wondering if you have to know how to drive a stick shift(manual) to drive for UPS?
Most centers are automatic transmissions nowadays
Most *are* automatic, but it’s typically said that you are expected to know manual
It’s 40 days here in Chicago
This looks all new. I tried applying when we first move to Norcal mt shasta 3 years ago.. I went online. tried doin the steps. then they wanted some test online. I couldn't figure it out. I think its sucks its all online. u should be abled to apply in person..
What is your schedule like? Do you work everyday and how many hours typically? Also how are holidays handled?
To anyone wondering, the site to apply on is Jobs-UPS, not UPS-Jobs like it says in the video.
Thank you for this video .
Heads up, as of right now (I'm SoCal based) there are layoffs and nobody will be moved up to drivers for a long time now
Does ups give you a sequence of stops like 1-2-3-4-5 and you go in order or is it just a bunch of dots on a map and you figure it out because I worked for FedEx Express and they just had a bunch of dots on a map when I was there and about 5 pickups per route with hour long commit times and we were told to just figure it out
Both it has a system where it tells you the order but once you know your route you run it the most efficient way!
@@Randywithups2 oh okay that makes me want to try UPS but I heard this guy at FedEx telling horror stories about how no one gets past the 30 day probation because they just fire them at 28 or 29 days and get new people
@@jeff0997 only way is to find out your self
You'll probably have to figure out the next day air part of the route to the 1030am commit time (like that p1 cycle of express)
Then you start doing that FedEx ground type of p&d process the rest of the day
can you do a state transfer? For example if you start driving for UPS in NC, and need to move out to OR, a different state, will they allow that?
I send in my application and I get a call so far so good I am waiting for my driving test, so i am praying for the space ,bless up yourself thank for the info 🙏😁
Was hoping for more info on how to get the call and how to apply it seems like that’s gonna be the hardest part for me
Worked for UPS for 10 years. Overall Iif you wan tto work for this company that cares about numbers rather than people, work here. The reality is that these jobs go to people with senority within the hub not on the website. Most Major Hubs are about a 5 to 7 year wait for brown car driver. Overall I did this job and got the route called the "ball Breaker" got yelled at every night because I ran late due to preload.
You forgot to mention when you’re in your probation don’t hit anything either you put one little scratch in the truck and it’s game over
😮
That’s a given
I was working in the warehouse for like 3 to 4 years. I quit some time last year because they werent hiring any drivers I was waisting my time !
Great video I’m hoping to take it one step further and try to get hired as a feeder driver like my dad
Good luck!! I will say feeders are based off of seniority so I’m pretty sure you have to start as a package car driver then get your senority then bid for a feeder position!
Yeah I’ve heard of that but we have a new building opening up and I’ve heard that they are short on feeder drivers so fingers crossed they pick me off the street if not I’ll try to be a yard shifter or go package car
@@justintinnen7681 if you got that inside info, and already got the CDLA, doesn't hurt to apply
This video is gonna blow up very very soon
Where I'm from, in New York it's work 40 days within a 70 day period
Can you make a video on how to know what routes to do first so you don’t go back to the same block
I signed up for a helper position at UPS. I am wondering if this will lead me possibly to a driver there were no driver positions available when I looked at the website so I took the drivers helper position. Curious if I am going down the right road thank you.
Does ups truck have cameras in there? Like Amazon dps does?
Im in driver training right now after doing preload/unload for a little over a year. All the training is good, i understand the 5s & 10s byt so far not much practical, hands on training. Like i havent driven the truck since my road test. For you, what was the toughest part about passing all the drill tests, etc.? Or what was the toughest part of learning the routine? DIAD, driving, the route? Thanks!
Brilliant video...and great dance moves😂
If I start out as a seasonal driver helper, will I be able to become a full-time driver?
hey are you familiar with preloaders/cover drivers?
Did you start right up as a driver? Or did you have to start in the Wearhouse and work your way up there?
I started straight into driving!!
So off the street driver???
Hey brother! Great video. Is there any slim chance that I could get promoted after being hired as a seasonal driver?
I just started my 5th day today they told me my walls are good but I need more speed
I wanna be a UPS but I was told I have to be a package handler and then move up because it's a union job
Do you mind showing your lifestyle as a ups driver like what you do on weekends if you not working
Yes I for sure will!!
@@Randywithups2 yeah I work at the ups in Florida Clearwater im a pre-loader and I get motivated by other drivers
There rumors going around that they gonna lay off junior 22.4 drivers. My union manager told me they might lay off couple of people in my terminal.
Crazy
Great video! I’m a UPS driver in UK, I love it and earn an amazing salary 😁
Randy that is a really good informative video on UPS. Just one question:- Do they keep 60 plus guys who are physically fit??
Supposedly it's impossible to get hired as a driver and you have to work part-time on a floating schedule in the warehouse for years, is that true?
Thanks God Randy I m the lucky one got in ups as a driver from street
Great video, I thought everyone starts working in the wearhouse before becoming a driver.
whaat is the difference between a city driver and a freight PU delivery driver? I want to drive a truck like this.
Brother I’m with frito lay now and have been for almost 3 years. I’m on the hunt to become a UPS driver. Always wanted to. I’m gonna keep an eye out on my local ups career website couple times a day to hopefully get hired as a driver on outside. ✝️🙏✝️
Do you need a cdl license? And what's the difference in pay between the two?
Sounds good, Probably I'll switch from Amazon (current step van driver) to UPS
Good luck. Let me know if you get in.
How hard is it to get to the higher paid version?
I got a hire date for a seasonal driver helper. I hope it turns into something permanent. I have to go in Monday for 4 hours. I don't know what its gonna entaile but I'm nervous!!!
So how'd it go? Did you get on permanently?
Was "let go" in 2016 by UPS after 21 years at the only job I really loved. Always ran good numbers and ran bonus daily, but 1 bad day after years of crappy loaders sealed my fate(not delivering 2 misloads) ended that. even at 55 I could still rock just like a "runner" and run under except for them damn Mall routes as they have really lousy time studies
I’m Surprised the Union didn’t get your job back, for you.
@@TheEwing69He's probably leaving shit out.
I got another question Randy!! How long do you have to work as a driver before they would allow you to switch to another hub, in another state?
You can’t transfer out of state cuz all teamsters aren’t the same. All states have different locals. Mine is 177 cuz I’m in new jersey
Go be honest I’m not 100 percent sure about that question but I will definitely look into that and find out!
Thank you for the info I wasn’t sure about it!
I asked the same question, I was told I could transfer to a different hub as long as it was within district you could carry your seniority with you.. As for out of state I was told no I couldn't unless it included schooling, other than that, I would have to start all over again at the bottom.
Yes you can transfer to another state but your seniority starts all over again .
