About UPS & Our Culture

At UPS, every package matters — including the ones that do not fit neatly on a belt. Our Irregs Handlers are the specialists who manage the oversized, oddly shaped, and non-conveyable freight that requires manual handling expertise and critical problem-solving skills. These specialized UPS warehouse jobs are among the most physically demanding and highest-paid hourly positions in our package center, reflecting the unique skill set required to safely move heavy, bulky freight through our network. If you want warehouse jobs that challenge you physically and reward your effort with premium pay, this is your role.

What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)

"Irregs is not for everyone but it is absolutely for me. Every shift is different — one day you are moving a 200-pound generator, the next day it is a set of golf clubs and a kayak. UPS trained me on team lifting, mechanical assist devices, and pallet jack operation from day one. The premium pay over standard handler rates is very real, and the team we have built in Irregs is the tightest crew in the entire building." - Current Irregs Handler, Louisville, KY.

• Non-Conveyable Package Processing: Identify and segregate packages that exceed belt weight or size limits at the point of induction, scanning them into the irregs tracking system and routing them to the appropriate manual handling staging area.
• Heavy Team Lifting: Execute safe team lifts on packages weighing up to 150 pounds using UPS-approved ergonomic techniques, mechanical hoists, and hand trucks to move freight from receiving to outbound staging without damage or injury.
• Manual Load Building: Load irreg packages into designated outbound trailer positions by hand, using creative load-building techniques to maximize trailer cube while protecting fragile oversized items like televisions and artwork.
