[QUOTE="That Guy In Brown, post: 1470602, member: 56328"] Thanks for the replies, a lot of good info there. hondo; not a student, no other job. I'm just trying to get back into the workforce after being out of the game for a few years because of a family emergency. The sooner I can get some good hours, the sooner I can make some positive changes in my personal situation. The benefits, when they come, would be great. And I would LOVE to be a driver someday, but I know from reading around that that's going to take a long time - I might be willing to wait. I know this is a part-time job, but nobody told me the hours would be so few. Everyone, at every step of the process, made a big production about bringing my own lunch and how important it was to have good nutritious food with me to keep my energy up and keep me going "throughout the day," as we work and eat on the fly. Who the hell brings their lunch to a sub-three hour work day? And I know I could/should have another job besides PT at UPS, but I've worked two jobs for different employers at the same time at different points in my life and it was always hell. Twice the driving, twice the laundry, twice the bosses, twice the skill set to master. And without exception one job will want you to start early or stay late and they, or the other job, will be pissed at you because you couldn't make it all work out. So right now I'm kind of putting my eggs in the UPS basket and hoping for the best. From what's listed above, "NBK preload shift" probably sounds like my best bet. At what point should I ask to be a preloader or sorter for the extra dollar? Up front or after I start? And are there no full-time low-level jobs at UPS hubs? Would someone be allowed to work early morning and twilight shifts to end up with 6-7 hours a day? Thanks a lot for your help. [/QUOTE]
