Why bother? Does it really take 8 years to get full time?

[QUOTE="I am laid off after peak, post: 1950360, member: 61157"] So yeah it seems like a good plan if your right out of high school. What about the 40 year old with experience from other companies? I was hired as a seasonal driver. I have 20 years of safe professional driving experience. I was a courier and airport shuttle driver for FedEx, Airborne Express and DHL. Those companies spent more than 16 hours training seasonal help. Honestly I am a bit disappointed in the half ass training UPS provided. I had maybe 20 mins of computer DIAD IV training and 2 days of 10 and 5 training?? I know how to drive a truck (package car) why did UPS spend so much time training 5 and 10 to someone that has practiced it for years. Today they had me shadow a driver. I was handed a Diad V and expected to know how to use it. The driver seemed pissed at management for sticking him with a helper un familiar with the Diad. Been lurking here a bit and see that most of you guys are complete :censored:s and or trolls when a noob ask a question. So I am a bit stand offish and don't expect any real advice. But if someone knows were I can take a DIAD training course online that would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
