[QUOTE="Sky777, post: 1713007, member: 52156"] Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of a dilemma in choosing which center to apply for (Handler position). Currently, there's one center with openings, that is just over 20 miles from home (40 mins). From what I hear from a fellow forum member, the current wait time to become a driver is around two years. Now, there's a much smaller center that is also much closer to home (10 mins). I asked my regular UPS driver how long it typically takes to be able to become a driver there, and he said it could take several years (took him two, but that was probably a decade ago). Although, he did mention that they hired almost a dozen FT drivers in the past two years. I understand that anything can change and the two-year time to become a driver may turn into 5+ at any time. I realize that ultimately, this decision falls solely on my shoulders. But, if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, I'd love to hear them. :-) [/QUOTE]
