Yeah I currently work at the Tampa Hub for UPS, bro I can tell you this. I make 11.50 i've been there for about two years. Ok heres how it works, the pay is good but since you are part time, I work about 15-20 hrs a week so its decent and I got to college school it works our fairly well. You can pretty much forget about a driving posistion for awhile with the economy being the way it is, but if you can withstand the wait thats where the money lies. UPS really shines with its benefits. Health, Dental, and Vision are all free with a $10 co-pay for doctor visits. Package Handlers is UPS's way of saying your going to be loading trucks for 3hrs bending over a 1000 times a night lol, Ive done it, avoid IT! if you get in request to be in small sort, or clerk some type of gravy posistion. If you have any questions let me know!

well, right now im taking my last general class in college. i do have a job which pays me great. it's full time with great benefits. so im looking for the twilight time which at fedex is from 7pm to 11pm. the pay is 10.50. 11.50 if i work the midnight shift but ****, i tried that once at a different company and i never returned lol! im just looking to make a lil' money on the side is the benefit thing a requirement? i already have it with my other company? me, personally, i don't mind the lifting and all that. it's only for a few hours and one of the supervisors told us that we'd be working 10-15 hours, which is super fine with me im already making 1k+ a paycheck at my other job so this'll be my gas check ha.

I work at the Lenexa, Kansas hub on the night shift. 11-3:30ish at night loading semi-trailers. It really isn't that bad if you can handle 4 hours of physical labor. My only complaint is that my manager is a retard, otherwise the job isn't too bad. After you gain seniority (30 days lol) you can bring you Ipod to listen to, makes the time go by faster. Works out perfectly for me being in college. Plus they give out lots of free food and stuff. I've got hats, frisbees, a UPS Camelpak, etc etc.

we can't do that. the supervisor told us we couldn't listen to anything maybe it's fedex.
