If you can go driving in 3/4 you'll be making all the cash with much less hassle than mgmt.

Where does UPS hire 17 year olds, and how can you have two years in and not be a union member?

Just asking.

RTW states means Right To Work. You do not have to join the union but you still receive union protection and benefits.

I have known several people that started as young as 17. I would just hang out and maybe take a few classes just to stay busy. You can go into PT sup at any age. Check out how long it would take to go driving and keep your record clean. Right to work state means you do not have to join the union but receive all the benefits. Also called a scab.

Seniority is King at UPS
If you started at 17 and continue doing labor for the company, RTW or not, you will put yourself in great shape to retire with dignity and a lot of money.

That's what I've Been told!! I appreciate all the responses

If you go into management, your chances of going driving are very slim and has nothing to do with how long you have been with UPS.
Based on your posts here, you should probably stay hourly and go driving as soon as you can with a clear driving record.
I would suggest not joining the Union until you are making $15/hour as a P/T hourly or until you gain seniority as a driver.

I thought about going into management after about a year of loading trucks. Thought about it briefly. I decided to stick out the part time work and have now been a driver over 8 years. I was a Saturday air driver for 3 years and a Temp driver 2 years.
Stick to the part time hours and if you get the chance to be a Saturday driver jump on it.
