What happens if a Pre-loader/Holiday driver recieves a DUI(first offense)? Do they risk being terminated? If not, How long will they be supended and what else would or might happen? Any information about this matter will help.
As Brownslave688 suggested, you need to discuss the situation with your steward.
If you report the DUI to UPS, you will not be fired. At worst, you'll be restricted to working Preload. The DUI will also disqualify you from signing a FT bid for three years.
And please.... just resign from driving for good!
Some of us are cut out for driving at UPS, others get DUI's.
That's a bit harsh, isn't it? Are you telling us you have never driven after having a few too many?
We had a retirement party for our on-car sup this past summer at a local bar/restaurant on the waterfront. The drinks were flowing freely. Our center manager pulled out the credit card and bought a round of Jagermeister (sp?) shots---I had one and was given the one that was left over. One more shot and 6-8 beers later and Upstate was feeling no pain. The party, as most work parties tend to do, soon degraded to a mgt/hourly pissing contest. (No, not actual urinating...) I left when it started getting stupid and probably shouldn't have driven but I did---I drove through the former AFB as I know the cops rarely patrol that area.
The OP made a (stupid) mistake and is curious as to what this error in judgement has done to his future. From what I understand you will not be able to sign a driving bid for 3 years from the date of conviction.
We have a guy that has had 3 DUI's. His 3 years since the last one is almost up.... How does this look on UPS's part that he could be friend/t.. I mean we are professional drivers..
One bad day and you should just quit your job an kill yourself???This job drives most of us to drink! And the ones that dont drink(used to)!I like my beer...and after being a stupidhead for years! I learned to drink at home and crash on the couch. I hope this youngman learns the same lesson.Axe murders and rapists get second and third chances(not that I always agree with that!)We can hope and pray he sees the light and that this doesnt cast a blackcloud of the rest of his life!Good luck and try to behave yourself!!!!And please.... just resign from driving for good!

What you consider sober..and what the law considers sober..may be two different things!!Did you ever think of that? Maybe he had 2 beers < wasnt plastered, But legally drunk! Just saying..Not defending his actions!!
