[QUOTE="bigbrownhen, post: 760040, member: 20495"] Let me introduce myself as Jane Nobody. I was an off the street hire. I worked for a small trucking company for 5 years and got to know a few of the UPS drivers in my area. One mentioned to me one day there was a outside hire position coming up. This job is alot harder as far as the pace in concerned, but Im not unloading full pallets of paper or hauling drums of hazmat material either. The bennies and wages were a God send to my family. I can now provide a lifestyle for them that was way out of reach for us. There is no way I could have taken a part time job and supported my family. I understand your frustration, but you also should look at it from the other side. I know several part timers who have no desire to go full time. There a few drivers that are close in seniorty to me that will retire long before I will. So be it. I have only had one person who had a problem with me being an outside hire. Too bad. You might be surprised how many drivers you work with were outside hires. When the economy picks back up and the upper seniority drivers retire, you will have the job you desire and will move up in seniority at a fast pace. Be patient, you are almost there. [/QUOTE]
