[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3048427, member: 18225"] I've been a full time driver at UPS for ten years. I got hired for preload, but some nice HR lady called me and asked me if I was interested in driving trucks. I had ten years of truck-driving experience on my resume, so I assumed that's why the nice lady called. Or, more likely, the nice HR lady never saw my resume, and that particular center needed drivers, hence her call. In either case, I got hired in June and trained in July. I called every day until September (no work), finally started working the first week in September, and I haven't stopped since. It's hard to get an accurate response from this forum, because every UPS center is different...different needs, different managers, bla bla. I called every day for a month and a half...when they needed me, I showed up, and I haven't stopped working since. Give it a shot. Forget gps on your phone, paper maps are the deal. I bought a map book at a gas station, tore all the pages out, 'laminated' them with clear packing tape, and now I know thirty routes in seven towns (ten years later). Good luck, and god-speed. And, for all the haters, absolutely sort your truck when you're making your thirty days. You only have to make book once. The new guys don't know the drill, and they get the package fever, lose their minds and then they get 'let go'. I'm a cover driver, and I work daily in trucks that would make a new guy quit, and my a-h center manager likes to send the newbies out in the worst trucks possible. You got to start somewhere...
