Hi all! I am looking into the Line Haul (Feeder I believe) gig. I haven't applied yet because I'm trying to decide the best way to stick my foot in the door.
A little background. I am 23 years old and have been driving tractor trailer since I turned 21. I have a clean record. I am looking into the Harrisburg Hub. I have been looking into UPS for one reason, a great career! I can see myself wearing the brown uniform until I retire.
The hard work does not scare me, but the hiring process does. I have talked to a couple of UPS drivers that have given me different ways to get into the Feeder Driver job. One way is the Casual Driver, there are currently 26 guys on that board. The other is to "Flip Boxes", as I was told. This would be a big pay cut for me, so I would only be able to pay my bills for 3-5 months. Is it possible to get a Full Time gig in that period of time? If not, it looks like I would have to risk the Casual Driver route.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
