[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5399148, member: 100309"] Did you ask your UPS hiring person(not sure what they are called these days)? Ask them exactly what your status would be? And what would happen? In any event, whatever happens.....won't until January at least. Then, you will compete with other folks of your status. Here, we have lot's of 40-60 yo off the street hires. Yes....60. Note: lot's of bitching among those folks. Working weekends and holidays and being on call. Note: Being on call.......you will be abused. Dispatch does not care. Your family or personal time or schedule will not matter AT ALL to them. These folks bitch loudly about pay progression. But a lot of these folks came from the oilfield or got layed off or have been from job to job throughout their working life. UPS being their best prospect. Benefits being a top draw. 30 and out(retirement) would mean working till 71 or even older for you.....depending on when you made seniority. Think through that......hard. You asked if it would be worth it.......see above. I wouldn't do it. I do know a fellow driver that gave up 15 years at Yellow Freight for UPS in his early 40's....a brand new hire off the street. This may or may not be true or realistic. I don't know a lot of employees that are given "something to do...." in any job description. Not at UPS. In my experience. [/QUOTE]
