Local 63/Ontario Feeder Dropping 1 year safe driving?

Never bought my own handtruck
They have waived that requirement at my building in the past. Only for newbie package car drivers that didn’t have a year of service yet, not anyone who actually had an accident in the past year.

That's what they did in Jacksonville Fla.
A lot of them are a bigger in the wrong way.
I heard that they are taking ppl with less then a year of safe driving. I also heard that they are calling ppl that got dqed to come back

Yes they did. We need to get to 700 drivers, we are at 500.

What bothers me is now we aren't going to be getting people with that base of package driving. Package drivers go through a maturity phase, and I'd rather it happen there than in Feeders where the costs can be much greater. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

They are pulling guys from my center who are still going through wage progression.
I see we are starting to get our first batch of 22.4's now.

I guess on the positive side we are going to have drivers who haven't been abused in Package. I guess it's up to all of us to see that they "get it" and become the kind of Teamsters that have kept this company strong and profitable for 112 years. I'm having flashbacks of when they switched from hiring almost exclusively out of colleges and went to DES...

Heard once they hit a certain number they can start hiring off the streets again!

Is there any truth for ups to hire guys of the streets? Is Ontario in that much of a need for drivers?

Some of the best drivers we have ever had have been off the street hires.

Yes- because their time clock is hanging under the center manager's desk. Lol.

It really can go any direction. You can hire drivers off the street that have been out there thirty years that can barely manage to hook up to a trailer let alone a set. On the other hand- you can get a new guy that is able to learn the equipment very quickly. I definitely understand what you are saying though. Pretty scary what we've witnessed the last few years.
