UPS Applicants

[jbrbears]

We would like to apologize to those who have applied online or left a voicemail message stating interest in our company. when we launched on the site September 1st, we had NO IDEA the response would be as it has been, and as a result, haven't been able to get back to applicants as quickly as we would like to. I would like to clarify a few things...(1) we are FOCUSING on Straight truck teams. this doesn't mean that we don't need/want cargo vans or Single straight trucks. (2) while we would like to be able to call back each and every applicant, there's a strong likelyhood that we won't be able to.that's what over 400 applications in two weeks will do! (3) cargo vans/sprinters and solo straight trucks are being hired, just not at the same priority teams are. it seriously depends on where you are located in the country. Again, I apologize on the behalf of my recruiting department, and thank you for the overwhelming interest in UPS Expedite! peace

Solo straight truck in detroit area, any need UPS?

 

[jbrbears]

Solo trucks yes, but not for local runs...as you probably know, that area is usually pretty busy, but the freight is going all over the US. Whoever applies with us needs to be willing to run just about anywhere @ anytime.

Just wondering.........

jbrbears, are you sanctioned by UPS to speak on their behalf or are you a dispatcher who has taken it upon yourself to come on here and talk up USP?

Some of the things that you have said contradict what UPS's advertisements have said so we need to know if you officially speak for UPS or not? If so, you should apply to have access to the recruiters section.

I was looking for a tractor solo position, I called 2 times and everyone seemed very unorganized and I never did get a reponse. Is this how it is there or was everyone just overwhelmed?

Just curious

400 applications in 2 weeks,tells you something,must be a lot of unhappy Expediters, but remember ,The grass always looks greener until you get there.

 

[jbrbears]

Overwhelmed...

 

[jbrbears]

I am a dispatcher/recruiter for UPS Expedite, have been here for over 10 years, so I guess you could call me the Senior dispatcher. as I stated above, there was no way we could anticipate the type of response we got, which is why we had to go the route of prioritizing ST teams, and certain areas that are REALLY low on owner operator coverage...If there seems to have been "contradictions", I again apologize for that, but rest assured that everything we posted on the website is in fact, true. Believe me, if you are in an area of the country where we are running LOW on owner operators, you will be getting a call. It may take a week, maybe even 10 days, but you will get a call...peace

This is an area of need for us...depending on if you want local (airport) runs only, or OTR. We would be able to keep you busier if you preferred to do both, but it's your choice!!

You are so correct Rich, unfortunately, once they switch, they'll find out they have to work hard and smart to make it there too. Ain't no free lunch!!

DO YOU NEED A 2006 SPRINTER VAN LOCATED IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA?

 

[jbrbears]

>DO YOU NEED A 2006 SPRINTER VAN LOCATED IN JACKSONVILLE
>FLORIDA?

For local runs only, not right now. For both local and OTR, yes.

 

[outwardbound 2]

Solo class 8 (25k lbs) striaght truck out of Milwaukee WI any need in that area?

 

[jbrbears]

Yes...any straight trucks NEAR chicago can be used and used a lot, depending on the driver(s)....

The grass may be greener but you still need to bring a lawn mower

>Overwhelmed...

If you would post rates paid to each unit class you'd answer probably half the people filling out the app and reduce the overwhelming response tremendously.

In this case it should read..... The grass always looks browner until you get there.


Sorry couldn't resist.

What is the story with the new york metro area, like JFK airport, Newark & and Laquiadia? I run alot of Philly Int'l airport loads to, but your ads had somthing on there about Local airport recovery P/u & delivery runs.

Thats probaly similar to what I'm doing now, so it would intrest me.
Any Info?
