[QUOTE="Light Beer, post: 992361, member: 42304"] Hi everyone. I just finished my first week as a casual driver. It's a lot more work than I thought it would be, but I absolutely love it. It's been about 100 degrees up here and I'm a heavy sweater so I'm soaked by 1300. It doesn't bother me, but I'm not sure how customers feel about seeing a driver that looks like he just came out of a pool. Anyways, I'm happy to have this job. Even though it's "casual" or "seasonal" it's still the only job I got after 10 years in the Army. 52 applications, 100 resume submissions, 12 Veteran's career fairs and UPS was the only company to give me an opportunity. I originally looked at this job as a temporary stepping stone but after learning more about the company and working a few shifts, it's something I would really like to make a career of. I know that my chances of becoming a full time driver are slim because of the 5-1 hiring ratio for outside hires. However, the Supervisor who was training me said a lot of the casual drivers are UPSers that have tried multiple times to become a full time driver but haven't made it. I don't know if that really affects the 5:1 hires or not. Anyways, I like the company and am grateful for the opportunity I have been given so if I am not kept as a full time driver, is it easy to get hired as a full time loader or sorter?
