[QUOTE="upscubus, post: 1141980, member: 47814"] Hi, I'm new to this site. Before I get to my questions here's my situation: I got hired 2 weeks ago as a loader in Washington state. I have a day job as an accountant that pays $20/hour (I have Bachelor in accounting and finance). I wanted to become an UPS delivery driver because of 4 reasons: 1.it pays more than my day job, 2.better benefits, 3.kind of don't like seating in an office all day, 4.I like UPS uniform (not in particular order). When I asked the hiring manager at the interview, she told me that currently, it'd most likely take 8 months to 1 year to become a driver in my hub because there's a shortage. The UPS delivery driver who delivers package to my day job told me also that he's started out as a package handler 2 years ago and it took him just over a year to become a delivery driver. But when I talked to my part-time sup, he said it'll most likely take 3-5 years. If it will actually take more than 1.5 years, I would consider non-union jobs such as finance or accounting. So here are my questions: 1. who should I believe regarding time it takes to become a driver? my sup or HR hiring manager? 2. If I decide to pursue non-union jobs, what are my chances of getting a position at a finance or accounting department? How long will it take and How are the pays like? 3. What would be the fastest route for me to make $30+ an hour at UPS? Thanks in advance. -shawn- [/QUOTE]
