How many times do I have to go to Integrad?

[The Chosen 1]

Just curious to know will I have to attend Integrad again If I happen to win a full time driver or Air Exception bid? I recently graduated Integrad for seasonal driving and really don't wanna deal with it again if I don't have to. Any feedback would be nice!

No. Once is enough. Someone lock this thread down now.

Why would you need to go to school twice? Once you get a week of experience driving, you are set.

I was told this pass week by my ORS that if I sign the PT to FT bid sheet going up next month and win then I would have to go back to Integrad.. He started out as a TCD and when he bid on a FT route and won he had to go back to Integrad for a second time...

What difference does it make?? You would still get paid.

I can't see UPS spending the money to send you to school twice. We have a school in Atlanta, there are too many people trying to get into it once. A lot of the seasonal drivers are having to go to a local hub to get trained and UPS doesn't have enough DIAD5s to show them in class.

Only if you didn't get it the first time.

I went twice
I believe you only have to go back if two or more years have passed.

I didn't go at all and I was the best driver UPS has ever had

Me neither. I am great also.

Gotcha!

True, but I just don't want to have to go through the trouble of going again... Integrad from my house and back is about 50 miles a day.. Not to mention gas and tolls...

As little sense as it makes he will most likely have to go back through Integrad a second time if he is awarded a FT position.

I assume that you were reimbursed for both; if not, you need to file a grievance to recoup those funds.

I thought so... Does the same apply if I'm awarded a Air Am/Pm or exception bid?

No. You may be asked to go through a refresher course locally but would most likely not be sent back to school.

Hate to burst your bubble but you are at best number two on that list.
