[QUOTE="Robert91, post: 1322323, member: 29957"] My center often overlooks the one-year requirement - that is, only when they have no one else interested. I've seen them put cover drivers on with only four-to-six months of seniority. To the OP, it really depends on your center. I've seen two cover drivers in my center who quit there second jobs as management promised them at least three days of driving a week; both of them regretted it. There simply isn't enough work to have them on road in the first and second quarter. However, my building is supposedly "over staffed". I've worked as a cover driver this past peak season. Personally it wasn't for me, I didn't like being out late nor all the added drama of management. Since UPS is just a JOB right now in my life, I don't want to make it something it's not. But, as long as your not giving up a career to cover drive, give it a shot. You may find it fits you. Worst-come-worst, you could always do it for a while and decide it's not for you, then go back to just working your current shift. If you can, do it - I have no regrets. It's a great way to both test the waters and become a better Preloader. [/QUOTE]
