[QUOTE="cdlschool57, post: 1138479, member: 47702"] Excuse me for my ignorance on this thread. I'm assuming we are talking about OTR Drivers here? UPS is advertising on all the job sites around here for OTR Drivers (UPS Freight?) and because I visited one site to look at the application process for one of our new Illinois CDL Class A drivers I'm getting e-mails telling me that 'UPS want to hire you". I haven't actually been able to get through to anyone at UPS to talk to them about hiring newbees. The ads state that they need a hazmat, which we can get our students so that isn't a problem. When I talked to our Lead Trainer here he stated that he wouldn't send anyone over to UPS because they would work them on the dock for 5 years before they could drive a semi. I've heard stories like that over the years for delivery drivers, but can't figure out why they would want an OTR guy to have a valid hazmat and then work him on the dock? So - long story short, does anyone know if they hire fresh grads with hazmats for OTR driving? As far as pay, I would only refer them to UPS if they made the average starting wage for an OTR driver that I know I can get from other companies where I placed - $36,000 - $42,000 a year, depending on how much time a guy wanted to stay on the road.
