[QUOTE="Cobra Agent, post: 346078, member: 15655"] I have been with ups for 6 years. Preload for 4yrs and small sort for 2. Five months ago i was sent to class to become a full time driver (5 blasted mos ago). Besides the fact that they crammed everything possible into a one week class, I remember basically....... well, almost nothing from class. Since coming back from class I have inquired on a daily basis when I might be going on road and the answer has been the same, "We dont know". Last week it finally changed to "soon". There have been 3 employees that work with me in smalls that have gone driving fulltime. They were only given 8 hours notice that they were going to start driving. Yes 8 hours notice. My problem is that i work parttime watch my 3 kids during the day (while my wife works), and 8 hour notice will not work for me. I have to arrange to put my kids in daycare but cant afford it until I go fulltime. All fulltime sups are aware of my situation however I feel that they could care less. If for some reason they only give me an 8 hour notice and I can not get my kids into daycare in enough time. Can they skip over me and go to the guy with less seniority than I? Dont mean to write a book, I have only driven a package car 3 times and really dont remember much from class (including seeing habits and that other one i am supposed to remember but dont). I am excited about driving but fell like a sheep being thrown to the wolves that has been hog tied and dipped in honey. I know that this is normal but any encouraging words.........:anxious: [/QUOTE]
