[QUOTE="browndingo, post: 1223495, member: 50642"] They can be scarce, but there are other full-time jobs at UPS that are not as physically tough as driving. Some centers have full time car washers, porters, clerks, etc. The pay rate is not as high as driving, but overall UPS pays better than most companies for similar work. A guy at my center started as a part time preloader in his 40s and after a few years bid an article 22.3 job as a full-time insider. He shuttles air and washes cars. The stars aligned for him seniority-wise when the job opened up. It's different at every location as far as how quickly you move up the seniority list. The non-driving full-time jobs are sometimes popular with veteran drivers who want to add some service time to their pensions and are willing to take a pay cut for a few years in a job that's nicer to their knees. So in some places they're virtually impossible to bid into from part time. [/QUOTE]
