Hello all just found thid site and need some advice! I applied 2 weeks ago on-line for a feeder driver position. I was called 1 week later and invited back in to complete my aplication. I was called again a week later 5-26 and told they are hiring 2 permant tractor trailer drivers out of a nearby location and to visit upsjobs.com and set up an interview time well it's tuesday. I have several question since I know nobody thats works for ups I guess this a a good place to start. When they say permanant what does this mean. I have a great union job now but the company is in chapter 11. I always thought you had to work seasonal first. so what's the difference? being "permanant" will you get work before seasonal guy's even if they have been there longer? next question is I need to be 100% sure I have a job with UPS before I sign a quit slip at my current job I have 8 years in so I'm assuming they have ran my background check and DMV record and past employment history before they would contact me for an interview? Surfing the web on this subject has kinda given me cold feet now.....hearing stories of people being hired permanant working 1 day and being laid off for 2-3 weeks. I am really uneasy about taking a chance leaving where i'm at for a potential unknown.... I'm assuming before they put you in a truck all the paperwork job history etc is complete. I would appreciate any input from anyone here
Thanks
