[QUOTE="mrbrownstone, post: 1423900, member: 53460"] I probably don't qualify to reply because I have only been with UPS since September 2013 but here is my answer. I was hired for unload and had the goal of becoming a driver. By October of 2013 I was driving for peak then went back to unload after peak. In May of 2014 I was switched back over to driving and have been doing so since then. I don't have driver seniority yet only hub seniority so I still have a long way to go. I can tell you though that my only regret is not working for Ups 10 plus years ago. I'm 33 now and after having spent most of my life in retail this is much better than other jobs out there. While there is a whole lot of b.s. here, what I enjoy the most is knowing that at the end of each work day my work is done and I don't take it home with me. There are plenty of various jobs including ones I have worked at where your day isn't always done when you leave your area of work and you could get phone calls from work while you're at home. The funny thing is since I have a Bachelor's Degree people always act like I should be doing something other than driving for UPS. Well as others have me mentioned the benefits are excellent as well as paid off time and there is a sense of accomplishment when the day is done. Many companies have become harder to work for over the years not just UPS. I was with a company for 11 years and I watched it change from what it was was and people who were there for 20+ years watched it change even more. That's the nature of the beast. But, yes I would do it over again only at a younger age. [/QUOTE]
