As Upstate said, the area knowledge and Diad training is invaluable. Not to mention, the easy money. You get to learn how the airport works, if you get to go there. I loved Sat. Air. Easiest job at UPS.well said Upstate, i didnt really think of that part about gaining knowledge of more area...
I would do it if i were forced and have no problems, but if i have the option or ability to say no i would do that.
Worked in building for awhile, signed up for driving, going to qualify soon after new year...
I then will be forced todo Saturday Airs, they would do it now but they want to wait until im qualified..
Are Sat. Airs forced for new Drivers?
You do not have to go to driving school first to drive air. That has came up a few times at my Center and HR was called.
Not according to Upstate's HR rep, whose name starts with an H. Anyone driving for UPS, must be trained to drive by UPS.You do not have to go to driving school first to drive air. That has came up a few times at my Center and HR was called.

Our driving school is the same for both, at least if you are sent to school. It is a center by center decision(in our district) whether or not to train air drivers in-house. My center doesn't.When I got sent to school FT driver went for 4 days and Casuals and Sat Air driver went for 2 days.

We choose as it is over 50 miles from the center to the school. If you commute, you get mileage from your center to the school. HR will make the hotel arrangements for you, if that is the option you choose. It's a nice hotel, too.
HOW?yes, you can be forced.
Besides, they aren't regular drivers. At my center, 'air driver' is a watered down casual. At any moment, they will throw you on a route. Might be why they send them and the proximity. I think UPS gets a deal on the hotel. So, I think it's a wash monetarily for our center.I asked because it may be cheaper for them to have you guys drive rather than stay over. It is 153 miles from our center to Albany so we stay over. This may be why they train air drivers in-house rather than send them to school.
