Hey rainmaker this is off the subject but you look new to the browncafe just like I am. How do you start a thread?

olebrowneye......just click on UPS Discussions and just above where you see "Threads in Forum", there is a rectangular box that reads "new thread". Just click on that.

Preload = 18
Driving = 21
FT = 25

If I would have been smarter I would have taken a FT combo bid or something just to get FT but I was too greedy and worried I would get stuck in one of those positions. Most of the people I know that did that would only get stuck like that for a couple months. I could be quite a bit higher if I would have done that but oh well, such is life.

I start at 18 in preload went FT when I turned 21, will have 20 years of service with the company this years.

Hired off the street to drive peak of '83, gained full time seniority in early April '84. Starting pay was 75% of top pay, with a 5% raise every month. Five months into my career at UPS I was at top pay. Not bad!

 

[8Years2Go]

Oh Yeah! I was 25 when hired.

As the saying goes, "Leave yourself an out".---Go to school, start a business, learn a trade, get an additional job, etc, while you're p/t.
Going friend/t isn't always the answer!
