[QUOTE="Kraetos, post: 479140, member: 10269"] Well I'm probably the best one here to give you an idea of what you can make in your area because I work at the UPS in Longview, TX which as you know is only a very short distance away from Tyler. Although my advice on becoming a driver is sketchy because I'm talking from what I've seen happen in my hub over the course of 2 and a half years. You won't be able to get driver right off the bat. You'll be working some part time position either loading/unloading like was mentioned above. I know UPS does not age discriminate but around here if you are late 20's or older you get the 9.50 to start, if you are about 23 or younger you get the 8.50 to start like I did. Also if your on preload you have a better chance of getting driver than the night shift. Your hours are only going to average about 20 per week, take home since your just starting about 150-170, I've been at my hub for a couple years and bring home 200-220 a week. Benefits now activate when you have one year of work service (Used to be shorter). This includes Medical, Dental, Eye, prescription. Two years of service is about the minimum if your around age 21 to start driving. If your older and a good worker you can get it a little after your first year, that's how it is here anyway, I'm not sure about Tyler. When you start driving it's hard because you'll never know what kind of hours your going to get if it's not around the peak times (November-December) and it's difficult because you don't know what kind of paychecks you'll be bringing home. As far as union goes, your not required to sign up for it, but if your going for driver it's a good idea. Only the preloaders that have been here for 10 years or more are union, but that's really your choice. And of course since I know nothing about your hub, just the area, seniority always rules at UPS when it comes to getting a job. And never try to get a management job. These are all just opinions lol. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
