I make $40 an hour driving for UPS. I'm lucky to be where I am, but there's so much drama.
for 12 years, before I became a driver, and I jumped at the opportunity. I knew it would allow me to quit my other jobs because I'd make enough money to support myself and my family. Before I was a driver, I worked as a preloader which means I came in early in the morning and loaded the trucks for the drivers. Now, as a driver, I try to be sympathetic toward preloaders because sometimes drivers can get really frustrated with them.
I tell fellow drivers that the preloaders are doing their best and we should be kind to them. Everyone's just trying their best. I want to make sure I'm still thinking of those employees, even as I've moved up in the company.I'm so thankful that I can be handed the keys every day and trusted to do what I need to do. I have my route, I have my packages, and I know how to do my job. There's no one breathing over my shoulder — that's a blessing.
You know who orders packages online frequently and who is a little bit more quiet. I'm providing a service and I want to meet my customers' expectations.Sometimes people want to paint the company as doing something wrong because they didn't get their way. I had a customer who had a case of wine delivered a couple days after Christmas. We had that big deep freeze and stuff sitting in trailers froze. It actually defrosted and came in broken so people blamed the drivers.
I've been driving for UPS for 10 years and I wish customers would understand we're people, too. I know so many things are automated now and it can feel like the person who is dropping off your packages doesn't exist outside of that but they do. I have a whole life — being a UPS driver is just part of it.We have drama between the union and the corporate side.
Sometimes you feel like people are protected by the union when they're just actually not good workers and shouldn't be there. I can understand both sides.In August, there will be negotiations between UPS and Teamsters, the union that represents the company's 340,000
