-- Whether or not the felony conviction will show up on a background check depends on (basically) the type of report UPS purchases. I do not know if UPS purchases more thorough reports for FT, or regularly performs background checks on incumbent PT employees. Perhaps the felony is already known and was not a concern during the hiring process.
-- Lying on your job application is grounds for termination (dishonesty). Just don't do it. Building a lifestyle around a wage, only to lose it all, isn't sensible.
-- You need to discuss your situation with your business agent (representative from your union local) -- he/she will be able to advise on whether or not you should proceed with the FT application (but disclosing the felony).
-- FWIW, be aware "3 almost 4 years ago" is recent in most people's memories.

Erm, this old thread isn't really relevant to your situation, so no reason to bump it. You straight up lied on your application about a felony. Had you been honest, they still probably would have hired you, but yes, it will come up on the national background search (NCIC) that will be run on you. Had it been a misdemeanor it's possible it might not have shown up if on the other side of the country, but all felonies anywhere in the US make it into that database and...it happened the next state over anyway...

Your first course of action should be to stop talking/posting about it.

He also needs to be heading up to the union hall and talking to his BA ASAP about this situation to see if he needs to pull his name from consideration from driving. If they run a background check and can prove he lied on his application, UPS could pursue a termination on the grounds of dishonesty. If that happens, there's a good chance it would stick. Hire dates and background checks (generally) don't lie.
A felony conviction is going to show up on almost any background check worth a damn, even if it's in another state. This is one more reason why non-violent crimes should automatically be expunged if there's not a constant history -- I've never understood the logic behind punishing someone and ruining their chances at making a legitimate living later on in life after being "rehabilitated." If you didn't hurt someone or steal something, you shouldn't have to disclose that information to an employer.

Basically, if a person has a felony conviction on their record that they don't disclose to management prior to offering employment, when/if management learns of the felonious criminal history they will have the option of terminating the employee-in-question for dishonesty.
For what it's worth, UPS most definitely hires felons/ex-convicts. As far as I know it's on a case-by-case basis but yeah, UPS'll definitely take a chance throwing you on the preload if you're honest and forthcoming (and not an obvious total piece of ****) about your past.
