Err....the national contract is linked right from this page.

All your pay questions are in there. Unless your a fleet mechanic already UPS will probably not hire you on.

Your other questions based on time are all depending upon your situation/area.

To my understanding you're still seasonal because you were hired in October. If they keep you, you will be fired and rehired after peak.

To answer your pay question sorters are usually paid a dollar more and "skilled" positions are paid a dollar more as well. My center has no skilled positions aside from loading package cars and sorting, yours may differ. You get a 50 cent raise after 90 days and 50 cents after a year, 50 cents yearly after that. You will also get cost of living raises twice per year because they separate the yearly COLA into 2 raises, February and August.

Can't tell you anything on driving, it completely depends on your location. In my building it WAS about 3-4 years for TCD and less for driving Saturdays, we have a driver hiring freeze going now though.

much of this is incorrect.

Show me the last COLA we had? COLA is different than wage increases. Cost of Living Adjustment is not tied to garaunteed wage increases.

Anyone hired BEFORE AUG 1 2008 Recieves $.35 every Aug 1 and Feb 1st.

The wages are as follows if hired AFTER Aug 1 2008 and made seniority:

90 days - $9.00/hr
1 year - $9.50/hr
2 year - $10/hr
3 year - $11/hr
4 year - $11.87

Sleet we received a cola raise 2 or 3 years ago for 12 cents an hour.

You can also get bonus money if you know how to sort and/or load. If you follow the above chart ^^ and know how to sort and load you can make $11.85 before 3 years.
