[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1217399, member: 198"] Garbage? So you are saying that recognizing that WASTING a ridiculous amount of money on putting newbies through a week long "training" regiment that does very little, if anything at all, to prepare drivers for the actual job is garbage? LOL! All of the drivers we've had that came through Integrad were no more prepared for driving then anyone before or after them that were just given the standard "three day ride." Look....it doesn't take a full week and a stack of cash for hotels and airline tickets to learn how to do this job. The worst driver in any center can teach a newb the complex, yet amazingly simple, series of events that lead up to completing a stop and then repeating that process over and over again throughout the day. Nor does it take that long and that amount of money to teach a newb how to work safe and how to apply the 5 seeing habits. It's just not that complicated. It is, in fact, a wast of time and money. So, you think it makes good business sense for UPS to spend money to send someone halfway across the country and put them up in a hotel and pay for their food just to learn something that is the same everywhere? Why not let them stay in their home center and actually learn it there? And for less time and money. Nothing beats on the job training. I mean this whole deal is like paying expecting mothers to attend a week long class four states away with room and board on how to change diapers and feed their babies when they could learn it at home in less than a day for a cost that is negligible in comparison to the cost involved in attending the class.
