[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2123340, member: 60619"] Here, as a pter going into feeders, you had to hold the actual license before you would be given your road test. I got my permit, went through a tech school and at the end of that had my license test. Passed, got my license and the next day had my road test with feeders. Passed that and started the UPS version of school 2 weeks later. 1st week is unpaid where you do a lot of pre-trips, driving, backing and generally learning the UPS way. The 2nd week, production week, is where you actually do the job. A lot of the time, you'll be able to learn a lot of the runs, find out where the different centers are. I believe if you pass the production week, you do get paid for the first week. If they do take you on as a pter without the actual license, the only advice I have is good luck. I don't know how I could have learned how to drive a tractor/trailer in 2 weeks with the trainer I had. I'm glad I chose the route I did as far as the tech school. It takes a special someone to be able to teach people how to relearn to drive. My trainer was an angry prick and I can't believe anyone that learned from him ever passed. No offense pickles. [/QUOTE]
