Recently started at UPS. Completed training, was hired as a casual driver/seasonal. Worked for two weeks as a seasonal driver then was offered a full time position! Unfortunately I got injured (non-work related) before I could start the full time position. They asked for my uniform back and took me off the roster and told me to call them once I can return to work. Was that just a formality, them telling me to call them after I am better or am I completely done at UPS?

Asking for your uniform back isn't a good sign.

As long as you are not costing them money probably not.

It is just a formality. Continue the treatment plan prescribed by your doctor and call when you are cleared to return to work. You may or may not have to see the company doctor before they let you go back on road.
It is July. As long as you are back by the end of September you should be fine. Anything longer than that and you should probably start to look elsewhere.

Never heard them ask for a uniform back, except for seasonals

Yup but a lot will depend upon the severity of your injury and the timetable for your recovery and possible return.
You have to look at it from there point of view. You get hurt after being here for just a few weeks. In their mind you are now a potential liability. Liability equal money.
Worry about your health first---the rest will work itself out.

When I accepted the 22.3 bid I was supposed to turn in all of my uniforms.

He is a seasonal hire.
If they liked him as much as he said they may hire him back for peak.

Are you sure that they were offering you a permanent position? It just seems awfully fast---2 weeks as a seasonal and suddenly you are full time?
I am not calling you a liar but this is certainly not the norm.

That's what my center manager told me after I self DQ'd and went back to my bid run.
I guess they trusted me.
Besides, I was on the street probably two days a week.
