[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 2803148, member: 13921"] Reading over openings at the UPS jobs site, it looks like they are being very, very vague. There is nothing in the language about any temp drivers, small package or feeder. Most of the package and feeder listings are temp listings, no 2 ways about it. UPS hires temps to cover summer vacations and again at peak. 99% of those are let go or told if they want to stay to go to the warehouse. If they are telling you that you will work in the warehouse after Sept. You are being hired as a summer temp. You will be offered temp work in the summer and again at peak until you have enough seniority to sign a FT bid. That could be years. That also means no raises until you sign a FT bid and once signed, you have to work through progression. When you ask during your road test, the supe is going to say, "It is a temp job but if you do everything perfect and are available every second of every day, you might have a chance." When you work in the warehouse, it will be for $9.50 or $10 an hour, with a 3 hour a day guarantee. As a temp driver, you will have no FT guarantee. If I had a government gig, that is where I would stay. Your pension is WAY more secure than anything UPS offers. [/QUOTE]
