[QUOTE="MisplacedRailWorker, post: 2913929, member: 67466"] First of all, good afternoon and many salutations to you salty UPSers you. I am a former package handler who started as a driver helper in Manhattan. I got the permanent position shortly after peak season and worked there for about 6 months before leaving. I want to become a driver and at my center it seemed to be that P/T Sup was the only next step; I am not interested in the management avenue. I am now signed up to earn my CDL at Swift Transportation with a 1 year driving commitment upon completion. 1. Would I be better off returning to UPS and earning my CDL at a private school? I intend to make a career as a tractor trailer driver. 2. Does UPS actually hire feeder and freight drivers from within the package handlers and preloaders? If so, do they run a training academy for one to earn a CDL alike Swift, Prime, Schneider etc.? I know big brown swears up and down that it only hires from within, but have never *actually* seen this phenomena occur (at least amongst bargained laborers). Thank you all and stay safe. And not UPS safe. Actual safe. [/QUOTE]
