[QUOTE="JustDeliverIt, post: 4548135, member: 68456"] 1. If you don't make it through the week of Integrad you are out automatically. If you don't make it through the first 30 days you are out automatically. Depending where you are in the country, each building has different needs. If you are at a building that is short drivers and you are close to their numbers on day 29, they may keep you. If they are testing the waters for drivers and you don't meet their number, even if they tell you that you are doing good, they may let you go on day 29. Honestly, it will be managements decision and the union protection doesn't kick in until you qualify. 2. You will work 40+ hours a week depending on how busy your building is. As a 22.4, you may work inside the building and drive part of the day. You may drive all day. Up to management but it is a combo job and work as directed. More than likely you won't see the inside of the building but it is a possibility. 3. You are a union member once you qualify and stay on. Until then you are at the mercy of your management team. 4. Typically, you are on the same route when you qualify. Different regions have different supplemental contract language that will cover this. Honestly, if you have family members that drive at UPS then those are the people you should be talking to. Get a lay of the land (how hard up is your building for drivers, what the management team is like). If they are really pressed for drivers, it's a calculated risk that if you put the effort in you [I]could[/I] get the job. Your family members that work at the building would be your best source of information. It isn't an easy place to work for. The job itself isn't bad at all if you like physical work. The micromanagement from supervision is probably the most annoying aspect. You learn over time that it doesn't mean much but it does get to a good amount of people. Good luck with whatever you choose. [/QUOTE]
