[QUOTE="hondo, post: 910355, member: 8661"] [COLOR=#ff0000](emphasis added by me) [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] It sounds to me like twilight shift employees are needed to work the twilight shift in your building; while the package car drivers and preloaders who are helpers are still out on the road. Do you work in a hub or a center (bubble of goodness)? I'm guessing the former. If that is the case, it is highly unlikely (IMO) you would ever be a driver helper for UPS. The twilight start times should be getting earlier and earlier for you. You would actually have a better shot at jumping for FedEx during the day. The vague response from HR should be inferred as a NO. Ask your twilight coworkers and shop stewards if it's possible, I doubt you'll find anyone who's done it recently. It is possible if say, they run out of helpers, and they're more desperate for bodies in the jump seat than in the trailers. At this point, I would recommend you politely ask HR and some of the package center supervisors to keep you in mind. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
