Im a fairly new upser as I was hired and started working in the warehouse in July of this year. I recently passed my road test and was initially told Id be going to UPS school. One of the supervisors asked me if I was more interested in Air driving or TCD and I replied something like "whatever you suggest as Im here to work for you. My end goal is to end up with FT job driving a truck." He suggested I start air driving first. The director of HR suggested it as well and then to sign up for cover driver in Jan 18'. Now, according to HR, I do not need to go to integrad to air drive and I will be air driving when they can find people to train me. Everyone Ive talked to seems confused by this including the supervisor of my shift. now Im stuck trying to decide if I should just sign up to TCD and get the school out of the way or listen to what the higher ups are telling me and follow their suggestion. Its hard because Im still not super familiar with what each job entails, Im not sure what the pay difference is, and which will get me to my end goal faster which would be FT with my own route. Id like to trust what the managemnet is saying but there seems to be a lot of mistrust between EVERYONE. Has anyoen else had this experience? Should I trust what management is telling me? Do you usually need to go to integrad before air driving? are they just blowing smoke up my ass to keep me in warehouse? Im really just confused at this point. I enjoy working at UPS but their methods seem unconventional, individualized, and the descriptions of everything are vague. Any information and/or suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
