[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 604006, member: 21891"] Had a few minutes, wanted to check the feedback, and all I can say is - wow. You are all alright. Thank you for the positive thoughts & wishes, sincerely. (Although I cannot see Steve's replies, I'm sure they are full of encouraging words, happy thoughts! :wink2:) Pickup - Fantastic. No less than fantastic. Getting into it was very involved, but at least cut & dry. Do this to get this or that clearance. The way the real world works. (Unlike a union shop) Yes, 34klb requires class B, I have class A w/air brakes. Was going to get HazMat, decided life is too short. Permits? Good God - DOT number, ICC MC filing, Log book, IFTA filing, Pennsylvania PUC, KYU, VIN, unbelievable. You also made an excellent point about finally making money - some people will understand this, some won't; by going so long without money, I'm afraid to spend ANY, so I seem to be on the right track w/that. As I said a year or so ago, UPS is my first time being employed by anyone else. It will also be the last. A [B][U]big[/U][/B] clarification - As stated in my original post, I quit because I realized that, if I was offered the position to drive FULL TIME TOMORROW, I would not take it. Knowing that, I had no reason to stay. It had nothing to do with the wait, although that certainly didn't help anything, and I feel sending someone to driving school then making them unload boxes for a year is, well, stupid. I strongly believe now that UPS counts on the fact that people say "Ugh, I have two-three-six years in, I can't quit now." And, uh, no, I never got donuts or coffee for anyone. I joked about doing so, now people take it as truth. Funny, though. Again, thanks for the positive thoughts / wishes. [/QUOTE]
