[QUOTE="MR_Vengeance, post: 175740, member: 6463"] 1) Does UPS ever hire Drivers directly, or do they promote people into these positions from within? [COLOR=darkorange]6 to 1 ratio, 6 insiders and 1 outsider, if you want to be the (1) then better show them you can drive.[/COLOR] 2) If I took a position either full time or part time, can anybody give me an estimate of how long I might have to wait before I would be promoted if I wanted to work in Irvine? [COLOR=darkorange]well, say if you become a loader first, then it'd depend on your senority and how bad your hub needs drivers. you can wait up to 6-10 years if your hub is small.[/COLOR] 3) If I took a job at a local hub other than Irvine (Anaheim, La Mirada, etc.), would I be able to easily transfer to another hub if a driver job opened up? Or do I need to go to work for the specific hub that I want to drive for? [COLOR=darkorange]better stay in the hub where you start working. transfer is is almost impossible for drivers. you can do it as part timer only for educational reasons.[/COLOR] 3) Is Irvine a tough area to get hired into as a driver? I know it's a very busy location, but do positions open up with any regularity? [COLOR=darkorange]it would be better just to ask an Irvine driver to see if they are short or not.
