[QUOTE="Brownst0ne, post: 4548095, member: 81337"] Howdy folks hope this finds you well I’m in the process of being hired on as a full time combination driver under the 22.4 article, and I have a few questions. I’m currently in a good job at a good company making $23/hr. I have not been looking for other employment but have family members that drive for UPS who have been talking to me about getting in, so I set up a profile and have been checking daily for opportunities, only because I understand the career opportunity of being a driver for UPS is immense. I saw an opportunity for this position and applied, made it through road test and the 5s & 10s so that I’m eligible for intigrad. I’m scheduled to start training in about a week. I will be making my decision over the next day or two as to whether I should give my notice at my current job and commit to UPS as a career decision. Here are my questions - - being hired on as a 22.4 driver, what are the consequences should I (for whatever reason) fail to make it through integrad, or be DQ’d before my packet is up - will I be working a full 40 each week until I can bid to a regular route? Or will I be filling in and only being compensated for hours worked, given labor demands. - will I only be eligible as a union member once I complete my packet? Will I be protected by the union beforehand? - will I have a regular training route? Meaning, will I be on the same route throughout my packet? I’ve been researching nonstop since this opportunity presented itself as I want to make the most responsible decision for myself and my family. We cannot afford to lose a source of income should this fall through, and I have nothing to fall back on, aside from the little we have in savings. I’m a very hard worker and am used to the backbreaking labor that comes along with any job that has high productivity demands. I’m mostly just worried about not making it through my packet given varying routes and not being able to find a groove because you have no set route. I guess I’m just asking - If you were in my position, what would you do? I appreciate any response and respect the work you all do. [/QUOTE]
