Going from Full time driver back to part time?

[Jones]

I was on part time preload for about 10 years before going into full time driving. Ive been full time for about 4 years. Driving is wearing on me and id like to possibly get out of it. The money is good but the routes are horrendous and feels like its only gotten worse. i never get to see my kids plus my wife has a decent job. I dont want to out right quit ups because i still need the medical insurance. Has anybody gone back to part time and kept their seniority and got their old pay back?? Is there any way out of this driving bs??

I've seen it happen a few times, there's no contractual avenue so it requires someone in management being willing to do you a favor.

Tough

then he quits and ups loses someone they took the time to train and invest in, the ups way

They got 14 years of cheap labor out of him. His body is breaking down and he's just now making good money.



Ups would be happy as a lark for him to quit

The bids are going up , if you’ve got enough seniority, take a combo job !!!

In the past UPS had a policy of no re-hiring. They also had policys about not hiring relitives. I have seen all that happen the last few years as the starting wage is so low they can't get anybody. We even had a guy return from being fired to be a peak hire this year. If you quit and you are in a big city chances are you can start over. They need preloaders bad. Our pre-load starts at $15/hr now. You would have to work like 6 months- to a year to get medical. New Partimers here also work tue-sat. And your vacation starts over. 1 week after 1 year.

You can't go backwards

Not true. It is a local issue. In portland we have contract language specifically for moving backwards from ft to pt. And people do it to retire with PT healthcare benefits, which are far cheaper than the FT benefits
