[QUOTE="Mr Shifter, post: 457665, member: 10980"] Well, first off i believe he was a seasonal at the Houston hub because when i first started at the Houston hub seasonal would be hired. This year i saw boat loads of tours near the beginning of peak for both midnight shift and the sunrise(similar hours as preload's but loading and unloads trailers). Anyways as far as the advice goes i would recommend making the trip to the hub in New Orleans. There you will PLENTY of more opportunities open up then if you go to a small center. At a hub you will have the opportunity one day to get a combo job, revenue auditor, different sorts to pick from based on you life changes and of course the motherload... FEEDERS(I'm a part time feeder shifter) at smaller center very few runs extremely high seniority levels. I recently won a bid/transfer opportunity to go full time at a small center in SW Houston. It would of been instant full time with a route of my own. I turned it down since and said center there are probably 4 feeder runs looked like all have 20+ years with the same driver. Hence the lack of opens in feeders. At the Houston hub there are over 120+ runs with openings yearly. UPS wanted to push that volume down to the SW since far southern building hat gotten larger and absorbed some of SW centers routes. When i went to package driver school at SW center i saw how small and the lack of multiple shifts there they only have a preload and twilight sort. At a hub you will have the opportunity one day to get a combo job when open, revenue auditors, different sorts to pick from based on you life changes and of course the motherload... FEEDERS(I'm a part time feeder shifter) at smaller center very few runs extremely high seniority levels. To sum it up i would go hub for the opportunities but if you want to be a package car driver possibly for life talk to you wifes cousin and he will tell you about it that small center. plenty of people live happy package car lives :happy2: [/QUOTE]
