[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 845151, member: 12570"] Our contract has a provision which does allow for direct hires in to a driving position. These hires are called "outside hires" and are hired to fill positions in a ratio of 6:1, meaning UPS must promote 6 inside people for every one outside hire. I was an outside hire back when the ratio was either 2:1 or 3:1. In this economy and with the current production push the chances of getting on as an outside hire are slim at best. Your best bet is to start on the inside and work your way up which is the way the vast majority of drivers did it. Starting on the inside gives you a better understanding of our operation and is a way to "pay your dues" before becoming a driver. Do you need to work on the inside to be a driver? No but as I said it does give you a greater appreciation as to how hard these PTers work in relation to how little they are paid. [/QUOTE]
