[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 842793, member: 16334"] To me driving isnt worth it anymore. They've changed things around on the cover standerd, whereas you will be working 5 years anyways to get the 25$ an hour startings. Thus you might be covering for longer then that, denied a set full time route and have fears everyday of being pulled to work another route because someone called out. Also, starting full time pay for drivers, not cover, is like 14.81$ an hour. Some of us make as much or more already then that as is. Covers make around 18$ something an hour starting. Plus having to put up with all their crap and being fired at anytime for pointless shows of their authority. I never really wanted to drive, I was just looking for a job. As I seen things play out its obvious the driving job is probably the worest thing you can get into. For me, four hours in and out everyday, all the down time, yearly raises, getting 6 weeks of vacation and benefits make this job worth it. Most people in the building will either never driver, wont drive or cant drive for UPS. In turn, UPS might and will hire off the street. Thus those unexpecting people either quit, get fired and/ or get pulled into the building anyways due to lack of performance. Driving might of been worth to those who are posting now, hey it pays the bills. Yet the time spent everyday on the road, they dually miss out on life. Today its gotten to the point where UPS is in control of the terms and only has made things more complicated for those intrested in it. Lastly, I like to say, I'm tired of the new hires showing up and be expecting to drive by the end of the shift. We had a guy come in to be trained on the perload. The soup training him did about 95% of the work, then he was told to start working. He grabed one box and the look on his face changed. He had the mainline soup come over and he told him he wanted to drive not preload. He didnt come back after day one. I see it as people working in the building are just as important ( if not more ) then drivers ( no offence to any of you ). [/QUOTE]
