when lifting anything above 70 pounds you can ask another guy to help you.. they dont technically make you lift anything during interviews and training,.. everything is done when you are working.. its not as bad as it may seem.. just ask for help and youll get it.

wrong...

its starts off $8.50 and $1 raise after the first 3 months, then another $1 after first year. it takes 3 months to become a union, which you have to pay 200 dollar initiation fee for the first 3 months of employment, which is about $25 per paycheck.

i make almost $11before my 3 month of employement and ive been working there for only 6 months.. now trying to get into management, wish me luck NT

It has to vary depending on the area or something. The UPS I interviewed at had a $100 dollar initiation fee ($25 from each check for a month) +$20 monthly fee. Get started at $8.50 regardless if you are loading or unloading. Once you pass the zip/color code test you get bumped up to $9.50 .

Really wanted to work there but couldnt get the shift I wanted because of class. Definitely plan on reapplying in the summer though. Great benefits

UPS is always half-"tailing" it with my pkgs.... Hopefully you being jobless can be the spark for future employees to set a new precedent. Untilthen.....

It ain't gonna be a piece of cake as soon as you get there.

Once you get used to it, it's not so bad.

My hub seems to be hiring. My belt received a new guy a week ago.

 

[deletedelete]

paging mayorrrr....


but you should be mad, because UPS is not hiring.

 

[kidufc]

try again next month, like i said when they let the drivers get back to driving and out of the hub.

and drivers make like $35-40 an hr at our hub from what one of the drivers told me.. he makes about $100k annually

i worked there about 2 months or so...preloaders start off at 9.50....and you dont have to take a drug test..well i didnt ..i dnt know about now..but
i quit cuz the job was too demanding..they treat you like a slave almost..its very tiring and i worked 3:30 am to 8 or so...but yea if you can handle thedemands of the job you will be fine..trust me its very tiring though but maybe youll get used to it...
