Advice: Part Time to Full Time

[BlackCoffee]

I'd like to be a full time air driver. The problem is I must learn how to drive standard transmission (even though my hub has no standard transmission air driver vehicles).

My question is should I learn stick first OR apply to go full time and learn stick in the meantime.

Go take a test drive in a Mustang GT-350.

You'll catch on real quick.

Do you answer any question seriously? I'm looking for advice.

Why don't you go into the Non-UPS discussions here where your insecurities will be more accepted and less obvious to others.

I like this guy!

To your question----are you sure that you are required to know how to drive a manual?

Two people told me you need to be able to drive manual.

The odd thing is that at my hub there are no manual air driver trucks.

On a side note they are down to about 10 percent package car driver trucks that are manual.

As usual UPS has me a little confused and flustered.

Have you spoken with anyone who actually has the authority to answer your question?

Well, sonny, if you must learn, then you must learn. Why do you think only automatics are available for Saturday air? What would you do if you came in for work and only manuals were available?


BTW, I'm very secure in who I am and if you ask a serious question, I'll give a serious answer. Insecurity is asking questions of a bunch of strangers on the internet instead of asking locally and in person.

Wear the plastic if you don't know where it's been.

OK, gramps



I asked a serious question. I need advice. Couldn't get more serious. Work on your comprehension skills and we will talk some more down the road.

My building doesn't have manuals either but hr had one brought in from 100miles away. Our final ride was in a manual

You need to talk to your mgt team.

If you can't drive a stick might as well turn in your man card

What is a full-time air driver?
I want that job.

Wow. Another brilliant, intelligent answer.

Gramps? Yeah, I am a grandfather. As a matter of fact, a new granddaughter entered this world two weeks ago today.

You stated in your first post that you 'must' learn to drive standard. My comprehension skills indicate to me that you probably should go out and learn.

As for a full-time air driving job, that sounds pretty damned desirable to me. Unless you've been around for twenty or more years, good luck, sonny.

Amazing how every UPS hub is run differently. We have full time Air Drivers. Not too difficult to understand.

Hell, I'd go back for that.
