[QUOTE="km3, post: 3788509, member: 56117"] Duly noted. I can't say UPS is any worse or better than the railroad, having never worked for one. Just know that you have a good job now, and you'd be risking a lot by quitting and relocating. Driving positions at UPS are not guaranteed. You have to go through a qualification period, and these days it's not so easy to successfully complete it. Orion, dispatching, saturday routes, and know-nothing OMSes and supervisors are making life really hard on new drivers in my building right now. Not to mention, this time of year, any driving position you get hired off the street for, regardless of what your application or posting says, is a seasonal position. They might keep you afterwards. They might not. But regardless of what they say, it is seasonal right now. If you think it's worth the risk, then go for it. I just don't think it's a good idea to throw away something good for something that isn't guaranteed. But that's me. It's your life. [/QUOTE]
