Hey, I somehow found this when I Googled UPS. My husband is seriously considering trying to get hired by UPS. He would like to eventually become a driver. We live in Texas near the Stafford hub which we have been told has a high turnover. I have read tons of posts to this site and you all sound so cynical about your jobs. And it all sounds so complicated to get hired and then start in one position and then move up and hiring from within and off the street, etc. Can anyone give us some advice? He will be leaving a 50K a year job and he is turning 40 next month. He is burned out in his current job, no college or other job skills, and there is nowhere to move up and no benefits. Any non-cynical advice would be appriciated, like where you have to start, what the new contract means, how long to become a driver . . . thanks
