Hiring outlook for feeder drivers and package drivers at Jacksonville, FL hub

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Jacksonville?

I don't know where he is at.

Its at least a 10 year wait at that center for feeder or pkgdriver

I believe he is saying it's at least 10 years before you can get in driving anything at his center.

Sounds to me like he's talking about Jax. There's no way the wait is that long there.

There are guys in feeders out of Orlando with 3 years total driving. Florida is blowing up, Amazon us blowing up. Let's see where all this automation goes and let's see what happens with Amazon. Not to be a pessimist but the last time I saw growth like this was right before the Great Recession.

That was just me guess... Maybe ask him?

Miami's housing market has already started slowing down. The developers continued to bet that the Brazilians and other South Americans would keep investing in condos. They were wrong and now there's 11,000 condo units planned to be available in two years.

South America which was in great shape during the whole recession (Brazil especially) is now on quite the downturn. I have noticed the "up and coming" areas in Miami are starting I fizzle out.

PM @BrownJake, he has his finger on the pulse of north Florida.

@Two Tokes, are you Jake's other account or do you not recognize sarcasm?

This question is for anyone who works at the Jacksonville hub on James Casey Drive.

How long has the wait time been to become a feeder driver or a full-time package driver at this facility?

Overall, is the employee satisfaction pretty good at this facility?

Have there been feeder drivers hired right out from being a part-time package handler or off the street?

I checked out the UPS Jobs site and found that there is an opening for package handlers now at this facility but nothing available for feeders nor pkg delivery.

Any advice you could provide, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Does anyone know what the chances are transitioning from a seasonal feeder driver to a permanent feeder driver in Jacksonville, FL.?
