Default Transferring

My Fiance is a Full-Time driver. I have an amazing chance to go to Law school in our home state. We have been told that it is pretty much impossible to transfer once you are a full time driver. Is this true? Is there any way around this? If he leaves his job, I will not be able to afford school anyway! Does UPS really expect its drivers to reside on one place their entire lives?

What's the union position on a driver from another local transferring in? How far is the move? Certainly the company wouldn't pay any relocation costs...

I am not sure what the union position is. The move would be from FL to CA. I would not expect relocation costs to be paid, in fact, I was even wondering if there is some sort of a waiting list or something for people who need to relocate

CJ,
You need to contact the union in the area that you are moving into.
I had a chance many years ago to move to North Carolina and I was surprised to learn that UPS and the union would both allow me to transfer there. I was told that it was one of two areas in the country that it was allowed.
I ended up staying in Florida!

He would have to start all over again at the new center .At least here that was the case ,have his center manager put in a good word that can sometimes get the job done as far as starting over at the new center.
what I have seen few folks have much luck getting rehired.

I'm in the western part of the U.S. I was told we could only transfer within the region.

I was not able to transfer even within the region, unless of course it would be for their benefit. Guess it depends on.... who knows what. I wanted to transfer back to my old center when my Mother was terminal, I did not even get an answer to my request, then she died, so I gave it up.

Default Re: Transferring

the answer is yes u can re locate but the employee has to be enrolled in a college in the desired area. most people enroll in community college for a lil while to get the transfer then quit!! they treat this like top secret info at UPS but that is the deal!! u stay at top rate but u fall to the bottom of the new seniority list
