If what you say were true, they wouldn't be paying over $100K. UPS isn't paying over $35 an hour because they like drivers. And the union couldn't get them to pay that, unless you think our Union is working miracles?

Coming from the guy who didn't possess the skills to get hired as entry level management for ups(of which they pretty much take anyone) you really don't have the best skills to assess what it takes at ups.

It really sucks being a first/second year driver because a lot of people in my town just assume I am loaded even though I only make $19.50 and work maybe 3 days a week. People ask why I haven't bought a house yet, why I don't upgrade my truck, etc...
They don't understand the struggles of working at ups through the first 10 or so years. So yes, when we do become full time and finally wait those 4 long years to make top wage, we earn every single penny of that money!

you are still guaranteed 8 a day. start working preload and the evening shift
My too rate was around $13-14 an hour. I still remember my supervisor saying. I'm not paying you $20 an hour for overtime to D* around. Lol

I don't think it works that way in our center. We have a small center of usually 21 routes a day. And there are 2-3 drivers who are laid off most days a week.
I think I've asked before if I could bump back into preload and I was told no.
You can't go back to preload because that would be in violation.of your DOT hours.

I can't violate DOT hours if I don't drive. But I have also preloaded and drove many times in the past being within DOT hours
But what I was saying was like normally Monday and Tuesday I am laid off so I asked if I could preload on those days before and was told I could not bump a PT out of his position. Therefore I am not guaranteed 8 hours a day :/
