[QUOTE="Brown Now, post: 2132239, member: 45719"] It's not rare at my hub. Also, was told that off the streets work much better because they come in with experience right out the gate. Accidents went way down. From a LTL carrier that runs doubles, even better yet. That's how I did it( another teamster company) came here and within a couple of months they had me pulling triples and double longs across the turnpike. You need five years of all four season experience pulling doubles before you can even be considered for LCVs. (Long combination vehicle) Many don't make it simply because they can't figure out how to back up a dolly. It's understandable that UPS would rather have someone come in off the street with experience as opposed to a package driver with two weeks of training. I'm not saying it's right, but the chances of a newb fresh out of feeder school running over a fire hydrant or jackknifing is probably 100 times more likely than a veteran off the street. At my hub, local feeder drivers come almost exclusively from package and road feeder drivers almost exclusively off the street. [/QUOTE]
