[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 153326"] off the street hires are very rare in most places. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but the general consensus (being on these boards and in my hub) is that it doesn't happen often. You already make what most of our drivers make (granted some a deal more depending on OT). As far as I know (I am a part timer, not sure if the rules apply to drivers as well, using UPS for the bennies) vacations do NOT carry over and you won't have as many as you do at the post office...well not right away anyways. Though they have to pay you for weeks you don't use (if you actually manage not to once you rack them up). I believe its 1 week your first year (or two if you choose to use some of your sick and optional days provided your area's supplement allows such things). I don't remember the exact vacation allowance/years with the company but I'm sure someone here does. Here in MA we are given 5 paid sick days and 3 paid personal days. We also get 10 paid holidays here. Hours for drivers vary, some work 8hrs, some under that (which will be "remedied" the next day)...some over 10. It really depends on the center you drive out of and its management. Also just so you know drivers start at under 15 an hour (though you get a raise with seniority then every 6 months after I believe) and get up to top rate (varies but normally 27-28$/hr) after 2.5 years. check out the master agreement it explains a lot [/QUOTE]
