UPS Pre-Employment Assessment — Questions and Answers

Question 1: Which action should a UPS driver take if a package is damaged before it is delivered?

Refuse delivery and abandon the package on the route
Open the package to check the contents before delivery
Deliver it anyway and note the damage on the DIAD
Return it to the hub, report it through proper channels, and allow the recipient to file a claim (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Return it to the hub, report it through proper channels, and allow the recipient to file a claim

Damaged packages should be returned to the facility and reported so the recipient can initiate a damage claim through UPS.

Question 2: Under UPS's '340 Methods,' which practice helps drivers save time during deliveries?

Skipping package scanning to reduce stop time
Organizing packages by stop sequence in the vehicle and having the next package ready before reaching the stop (Correct answer)
Carrying as many packages as possible in one trip regardless of weight
Always parking directly in front of the delivery address even if it requires blocking traffic

Correct answer: Organizing packages by stop sequence in the vehicle and having the next package ready before reaching the stop

The 340 Methods emphasize pre-selecting the next package before arriving at a stop, minimizing time searching in the vehicle and maximizing delivery efficiency.

Question 3: There is a parking lot with 100 red and blue cars on it. 40% of the cars are red, and 70% of the red cars have radios, whereas 20% of blue cars do not have radios. What is the probability of selecting a car at random that is either red or has a radio?

7/25
19/25
22/25 (Correct answer)
29/25

Correct answer: 22/25

Explanation: The probability of selecting a car at random that is either red or has a radio can be calculated by adding the probability of selecting a red car with the probability of selecting a car with a radio and then subtracting the probability of selecting a red car with no radio. The probability of selecting a red car is 40% and the probability of selecting a car with a radio is 70% of the 40% of red cars, which gives us 28%. The probability of selecting a red car with no radio is 30% of the 40% of red cars, which gives us 12%. Adding 28% and 12% gives us 40%, which is the probability of selecting a car that is either red or has a radio. Therefore, the correct answer is 22/25.

Question 7: Identify the missing number at the END of the series.662, 645, 624, 599, ____?

574 (Correct answer)
566
589
587

Correct answer: 574

Explanation: The series is decreasing by a certain number each time. The difference between the first two numbers is 17, the difference between the second and third numbers is 21, and so on. Therefore, the difference between the fourth and fifth numbers should be 25. Subtracting 25 from 599 gives us the missing number, which is 574.

Question 8: What number must be added to 6, 16, and 8 to get an average of 13?

22 (Correct answer)
18
25
20

Correct answer: 22

Explanation: To find the number that must be added to 6, 16, and 8 to get an average of 13, we can use the formula for the average: sum of numbers divided by the count of numbers. The sum of 6, 16, and 8 is 30. We want the average to be 13, so we need to divide 30 by 3 (the count of numbers) to get the current average. This gives us 10. To increase the average to 13, we need to add a number that will increase the sum to 39. Therefore, the number that must be added is 22.

Question 9: What is the significance of the delivery area color zones used in UPS route planning?

Question 12: A man wants to reach a window that is 40 feet above the ground. The distance from the foot of the ladder to the wall is 9 feet. How long should the ladder be?

49 feet
9 feet
81 feet
41 feet (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 41 feet

Explanation: The ladder needs to reach the window, which is 40 feet above the ground. The distance from the foot of the ladder to the wall is given as 9 feet. To find the length of the ladder, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (ladder) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (vertical distance and horizontal distance). In this case, the vertical distance is 40 feet and the horizontal distance is 9 feet. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate that the ladder should be 41 feet long.

Question 13: What is a 'sheet' in UPS driver terminology?

Question 54: A life insurance company is looking for external employees (agents) and employees in the headquarters. An agent earns three times as much as an employee in the headquarters. The company needs 30 employees in the headquarters and 90 agents. How large is the share of the salary of one agent on the total payroll paid out?

0.25%
0.09%
1.00% (Correct answer)
0.33%

Correct answer: 1.00%

Explanation: Each agent earns three times as much as an employee in the headquarters. Since the company needs 30 employees in the headquarters and 90 agents, the total number of employees is 30 + 90 = 120. Let's assume the salary of an employee in the headquarters is x. Therefore, the salary of an agent is 3x. The total payroll paid out is 30*x + 90*3x = 30x + 270x = 300x. The share of the salary of one agent on the total payroll paid out is (3x/300x) * 100 = 1%.
