I went for my UPS driver training, I've worked for UPS for a little over 6 years now part time in the factory and weekend driving. I have been waiting a long time to finally be getting full time driving.
Me and a buddy that work together both got assigned to a big city that is over an hour commute. When we went to the training the majority of people there were new and have never driven before or worked with the company. They were also assigned a location that both me and my friend prefer because its the factory we've been working at for all these years.
Why is it they're hiring a lot of new people when there are plenty inside the factories that are just waiting to go full time. The bid was never specifically put up for this preferred location either. There were plenty of people that put a general bid in for driving and didn't get it.
It just doesn't seem fair.
Is there really anything that I can do to get out of the city and into my preferred area? Sometimes it doesn't feel like my seniority counts for anything...
