[QUOTE="Sorsair, post: 5205226, member: 98433"] I figure I'll ask here instead of starting a new thread. I'm 32 and have been working a boring desk job for decent pay the last 10 years and I've hit the point where I hate it. My father worked for UPS for 25 years 15 as a driver and 10 as terminal manager and he was always trying to get me into UPS. During an interview for a office role in UPS I asked about becoming a driver. The manager told me they were currently hiring part time cover drivers and I'm weighting if that's worth leaving a 40 hour job. Would I like to become a full time driver? Yes. Do I know the job is a kick in the ass? Yes and I want to get out from behind the desk. My question is to any drivers here, what is a cover driver as far as your aware in your terminal? I assume I am on call weekly and cover routes for vacations and sick days etc. I was told currently it's around a year until full time is offered to new drivers. Also, any tips for surviving the first 30 days? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
