New Hire Transfer

[Littlemonster]

Hello, I just recently started as a full time delivery driver about 2 weeks ago at a hub over an hour away. A full time package delivery driver position opened up at the hub about 15 minutes away from me and in the area I know. Is there anyway I can transfer if I didn't make book yet or what is the best way to try and get this job close to me? Thanks for the help

How do you know that you would get the full time job at the other location?

Stay where you're at if you like the job. Move closer to work.

We can transfer within our local. I think you need to wait a year

They just posted it as a full time job on their website

You have no guarantee of getting it. Then what? Fill time at UPS isn't easy to get
You already have it.

I doubt they would let you transfer if you haven't made book yet. As for any transfer it depends on what your supplement says

Not yet he doesn't. Only two weeks in

Yes I realize he has to qualify but why give up a job that many would kill for. How many threads are their about people waiting a decade to go out driving?
Just my opinion

All of the help you have gotten so far, your training Sup may not take kindly to having you waste their time, and remember you have not made book yet, First things first, make book and lock in the company seniority.

I see your point, but as others have said, there are people that would do damn near anything to get this chance to be A ft driver.

I was just wondering, I am grateful for the job its just the commute adds another 2 and half hours on to my day. Ill try and make book and then go from there. Even everyone at the hub is surprised and shocked as to how far I'm driving for this job. I applied for an opening closer to home but they put me in this hub much farther away. I think everyone would rather have a 15 min commute instead of hour and 15

It's important that you recognize this as your first step. If you make book, you'll have a well-paying job and moving closer to work should be pretty easy in the future.

There's a few drivers in my center that drive 2+ hours round trip everyday. The one told me he doesn't want to transfer to the center around the corner from him because he doesn't want to cover drive again.

Move closer to work if you can. That's a lot of hours you could be spending doing something else.

Especially for a job that's going to have you on road 11+ hours a day after you qualify.

I wish I could, working out of NYC, cant afford to move closer. I'll just bust my ass and make book as soon as I can and see what happens with transferring
