I just heard a friend of a friend told me that UPS is starting to hire new drivers again. What's going on in your center?
I hope this is true. I want to drive sooooo badly. I'm sick of squabbling for 15 min of extra work with lower seniority people and my sup. Is the initial driving test still given in a truck with a manual transmission?
Our center is hiring several this year. It's been 4 years with no new hires. Looks like seniority for PT to FT is about 6-7 years to get a FT driver job!
We don't have any trucks with manual transmission. However, the driver training class we send our drivers too uses an old POS manual truck for training.
