How Drivers LEARN a New Route Without GPS 

:’] wow. I’m so grateful to hear that I’ve inspired someone positively. Thanks for sharing, and good luck on your new job my dude 👊👍🙌

@@LunatiKz God bless brother

ur lucky af

Man those new Zebra scanners keep losing connection man. So stressful when scanning packages in the morning about to run out.

@@ivobondptbe your route must be in a rural area. I've had troubles with the GPS on it, but it never stopped me from scanning a package. Thats pretty wack fr

@@Dupog Not on route but in the warehouse.

@@ivobondptbe ? the drivers are upgrading to zebra or panasonic scanners... same software though from what i'm seeing on other videos

I liked Panasonics better

You worked for ups driving? Been there for 11 months and still waiting on a driving spot. I drive for Amazon too and then head to ups (sorter warehouse)

@@renearanda6332 has that driving spot opened up now that its summer and we're still heavy from covid?

Justin McNicol I just became a driver for ups because of the demand of online orders, went through Intergrad last week just passed now to wait for my route

@Bavex01XPro yeah but you’re also unionized - so you just pop in your truck and go. Kinda boring as fuck, FedEx employees sort and load their trucks, which makes it a lot easier to navigate in the back and makes you feel like you have more responsibility than to just “I get in truck and drive”

@@agentcorgi2995 lol anything to make you feel better about working at FedEx

How did it go? Did you pass? Are you still driving for FedEx?

should be bone apple teeth

We have some trucks like that too, our routing software helps sequence stops. Only difference is this is the garbage industry, not postal haha

I'm now a swing driver, so basically a new town everyday... but they're finally locking me in a certain town so i can feel more comfortable and stress free during the day. resis> bus all day long! and rare pickups for me. Plus the new scanners have navigation for each stop, but won't give you the big picture like what others with Ground Cloud or Road Warrior has. Some of us still on the older scanners, so we can still upload to Garmin GPS & see clusters of 30 stops at a time

I’m a fed ex driver and sadly there’s no time for that what I typically do is ring their doorbell

Drive for Uber, Lyft, grub hub, etc to gain that 1 year experience... but really do something in the trades as this is just a means to a weekly paycheck.

😂😂😂 oh hell nah!!!

You would have to set it yourself or you can just follow and go by the scanner

Mr ChichMagnett I heard ups now has a gps inside the dial pad? I asked

Awesome! Good luck!!!

😂😂😂😂 “as long as it runs and drives. The rest is on you”

90% doors open. 10% doors closed. I don’t notice any difference tbh

Nice man! Stick in there don’t quit that job man! Everybody has something to work for n this is it for you! Don’t quit! Push through it we all have rough days and everything but it’s worth it all in the end!

I have 199 stops at amazon. My manager was good ignoff to send some help got a few stops done by another driver. My route order alot of big heavy boxes because is mostly rich residential neighborhood. So you'll be sore on arms and legs at the end of the day regardless.

Haha I would take that any day!

That’s not to bad 👍

Now I’m going to start a new route and have to learn that one,it’s closer than Islamorada.i out some videos on my channel.

Lockers are the best!

You have to apply to the individual contractors there. Fedex usually doesn't own any of the route your loading packages for. You typically need 12 months of paid driving experience to qualify though.

Lucas Hill If I were you I would quit and work at ups.

FashionOutLook thats my plan. Unfortunately UPS isnt hiring in my area right now:(

FashionOutLook ups starts off drivers with a low wage, wel mostly in my state/area and here in fedex exprees which i work for they start at 20.85 hr as courier so to wait about 3-5 years at fedex to make that hell nah

Carlos Vazquez Ups has way better benefits. I've heard from a lot of people fed ex has hardly no benefits. Also, once you're a driver the pay goes all the way up over time. Imo, it's not that bad since they offer more benefits than fed ex.

Just started HD. Only call in pick ups which is still pretty rare. Not sure the weight limit, but it’s definitely much lighter than ground

@@LunatiKz ooooh you got it easy for now. Enjoy it while it lasts! From what I understand, eventually your contractor will be forced to take on Ground as HD is dissolved across the country. It's just a few more hoops to jump through and your weight limit jumps to 150. It's annoying but the job is still worth it.

Some UPS locations aren't hiring drivers off the street; they have to offer that to the inside workers first & at some locations, it may take years. Their union is weakening too, allowing for lower paid drivers 22.4 in the system... it's still favorable than FedEx when it comes to benefits.

You have to start as a warehouse worker and work your way up to driver. My friend at UPS started as a warehouse worker, then warehouses manager, and then became a driver

@@NXN2 it all depends on the location; some will hire off the street if not enough inside people want to drive. I've known a few that went straight to driving from quitting FedEx Ground

Earl A. It’s not that it’s weakening it’s the fact that UPS as started to deliver on Saturday’s and soon Sunday as well. The 22.4 drivers will be in charge of delivering the weekends making sure the regular driver only have to work Mon-Fri. And the lower pay is only because they aren’t driving more then half the time. The 22.4 drivers in my building are only driving 1-2 days a week the other 3-4 days they’re working in the building to get their 8 hours so it makes since if they’re only driving 25% of the time they get paid $1 less. But still only driving 1-2 days and only making $1 less is great. And yes their top rate is what $5-$7 lower but let’s be realistic 99% of the drivers won’t even stay 22.4 longer than 1 1/2 years because at that point a position would have opened up and they would’ve been promoted. Literally the people that will actually reach the top rate for a 22.4 drivers will be the ones that refuse the promotion when offered. And before you say anything I am a 22.4 driver myself so I do know what I’m talking about and I’ll be moved off 22.4 when the next batch of driver come in which they’re currently training them now.

Mr ChichMagnett i’m doing intergrad right now and they hired me off the street, anything i should expect? if they really will have me driving 1-2 days and the rest sorting? i guess
