Roadie Driver (UPS-Owned Same-Day Delivery) — On-the-job English

Study in your language — but on the job you'll speak English. These are the real phrases you actually say for this work, with a note in your language. Not a script; common situations workers report.

Picking up at a business for a Roadie gig

  • Hi, I'm here for a Roadie pickup for order 4521.

    Confirm your pickup order with counter staff.

  • Can you confirm the item and check it's all here before I load it?

    Verify the item/quantity before you leave with it.

  • Can someone help me load this — it's heavier than it looks.

    Ask for help loading a heavy or oversized item.

Delivering a 'big & bulky' item to a home

  • Delivery from Roadie — where would you like this set down?

    Announce the delivery and ask where to place a large item.

  • Watch your step, this is heavy — I'll bring it in slowly.

    Warn the customer about weight while carrying an item inside.

  • Can you sign here to confirm you received this?

    Get a signature confirming delivery.

Running a multi-stop delivery route

  • I'm about ten minutes out — I'll text you when I'm close.

    Give a recipient your ETA on a multi-stop run.

  • This is your second stop on my route today — I have two more after this.

    Explain your route order if a recipient asks about timing.

🔴 Emergency — traffic accident or injury on a run

  • This is 911 — I've been in a car accident at [address], I need help.

    Call 911, say you're in an accident, and give the exact address.

  • I'm conscious and can talk, but my car won't move and there's damage.

    Describe your own condition and the vehicle's condition to the dispatcher.

  • Someone is hurt — please send an ambulance, we're on [street] near [landmark].

    Report an injury and give a clear location using a nearby landmark.

Reporting a problem to Roadie support

  • I can't get into the building for this delivery — the gate code isn't working.

    Report an access problem to support before you're stuck at a delivery.

  • This item arrived already damaged — I have photos from pickup.

    Report pre-existing damage with photo evidence to protect yourself from a claim.
