Seeing more and driver turnover. Lots of drivers quittinf in their first couple years.
Lots compared to 10-15 years ago.

Well yeah because drivers make good money but these same drivers will not stay if they don't drive.
Or put in a few air routes and let them make a couple dollars. Also gain some valuable driving experience.

Hell when I started at UPS I was so happy then I realized I had a 9 year wait to be full time and I brought home 112$ a week. Then finding a good 2nd job to work with you was hard for a 18 year old with no degree

If I had been told that there would be a 9 year wait to go FT I never would have taken the job.

If it is such an investment to put new people on then why do they spend so much time, effort, and money trying to fire people...no matter if the union has got your job back everybody has known others that have been "fired"...ups wouldn't try to do it if they weren't halfway serious about it.

Well that's your choice. Making a 100,000 a year is hard even with a college degree and the insurance we get is probably more like 120,000 a year. Jobs like this a few and far between unless you want to work your way up a cooperate latter with 30 grand of college debt
Feeders is going to be going on a massive hiring spree, so with that, retirement and firings, they're going to need a ton of pc drivers

An increase in injuries is perhaps why they hiring? More money is being spent on workers comp than before.

Orion has been in the making for almost 10 years. I highly doubt we are hiring thousands of drivers for 2027

Ok look at it as an investment. Millions if not billions are pumped into the Teamsters every year for our benefits,etc. suppose they didn't have to pay that anymore? That three year plan not looking so bad now is it? Investment wise I mean. Put out a bunch now hoping for a big return later? Of course it could fail, but hey yea never know.
They are making a come back.

You mentioned UPS only spending money when they have too. That was my reply.

Yeah but Orion makes UPS look good to the public eye and to Wall Street as well. Us hiring thousands of drivers and then going bankrupt or firing them all does not look good

I think you were joking, but there's an opportunity there. Get the international stuff we make good money on.
According to an annoying salesman on here we should be afraid!!!
