[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1311573, member: 198"] My "training" wasn't much better than the OPs. I'm in a small center so, like everyone else here, I was hired as an Air Driver/Saturday Air/TCD. I went to "school" for a week and spent most of it sitting in a classroom. Some of the classroom time was dedicated to practicing on the DIAD but mostly it was us just sitting there listening to someone talk about the 5 Seeing Habits, 10 Point Commentary, and UPS policies, history, etc.. We only actually went out and drove on two days and it was all together about half a day each time. There were like 8 of us in the class so we didn't get much time behind the wheel. When I went back to my center the next week I had to wait a few days to ride along with the On Car and it was only two days on two different routes. He barely (and I can't emphasize the word [U]BARELY[/U] enough) taught me anything. It was basically him driving like a maniac and me working as his helper. My first day alone was a disaster. A few weeks later I had a ride along on a saturday but that is no big deal. Then eventually I was shown the PM Air one day and the PM Air Driver couldn't work the next day so I was out on it right after I was "trained" on it. That was a disaster too. Looking back I know it wouldn't have taken much effort to be trained just enough so that those first time solo runs would have been bad instead of disasters. But some sups just don't give a damn. Some are offended when they have to actually leave their offices so when they do they short change the driver. Pathetic. [/QUOTE]
