Building seniority. Not company seniority.

Everyone who transfers does,(Building seniority).Since you don't have that much now, and knowing your risking other part timers being hired before you will get first crack at a driving job, why wait. This is if your serious of course.

I should have known better than to make a one size fits all generalization about how UPS operates. I have never heard of transferring between centers other than an educational transfer or if you were following your route if it was assigned to another center. I was always under the assumption that you had to quit at one to get hired at a different one with loss of all building seniority. Maybe you can transfer around the western conference itself but you can't go from western to any other conference.

There's countless centers and hubs. If you want to live in the Seattle area, you have Tukwilla, SeaTac, Port Angeles, North Bend...so many more. South is Olympia and Vancouver. Central you have Yakima, Wenatchee, and East you have Spokane, Tri Cites, Pullman, and others. Lots of choices. If you want to be in southern Washington I suggest the Portland hub. It's huge, always hiring, and the driving list is pretty short...I still have plenty of friends over there and last I heard the list was at about 5 years. Portland kicks all kinds of ass but you have to pay Oregon state income tax which blows if you live in Washington. Eastern washington your best bet is in Spokane, but the driving list is long...8-10 years. Seattle, Redmond is the Hub but I don't think it's that big...Starting pay is roughly the same. If you transfer then you'll keep your progression pay rate. If you quit and come back you'll start at $10. Good luck!

I'm sure glad that option wasn't available here. Three fourths of all the Minneapolis centers would have wanted to transfer up north to the lakes country where I was being it was all the same local.

I just had a thought. You may not be able to transfer outside of your local supplements area.

I too would like to know odds of my husband transferring & keeping his full time status (which took 11 years to get)... He is currently a pkg car driver & has gotten his permit & physical to train for feeder driver. We would like to move back to Atlanta area ... Any advice or thoughts ?

That's what I would believe BUT I have been proved wrong before. I'm sure if some big wig in Atlanta cleared the way for his second cousins kid to transfer there from the middle of no where it could happen ---if the right people were called into his office and TOLD to make it happen.
