[QUOTE="cheddar, post: 446769, member: 19625"] So, has anyone seen former DHL employees being hired by UPS? After 11 years as a driver for a DHL/Airborne Express subcontractor, I lost my job in November. I am now doing the driver helper thing with the intention of getting my foot in the door with UPS. I've been with the same driver for 6 days now (3 to 5.5 hours per day) and he said hours will increase this week and he's keeping me on through the peak. So, I guess I'm doing something right. 60% more stops per day and a much faster pace than what I was used to is leaving me very sore, but I'll get through it and am actually enjoying the challenge! After christmas, I plan to get a dock job if at all possible to stay with the company and start the climb upwards. Do you guys think my prior experience will move me out of the sort and onto the road any faster than the inexperienced college kids that are usually hired for package handling jobs? (the station is very close to a large university) I'm just wondering if UPS welcomes the experience or hesitates with former DHL drivers.... cheddar (in Arizona) [/QUOTE]
