[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 59029"] JD, In my thirty plus years experience coming in off the street via seasonal driving has been the only way to do it. In the past, seasonal driving was the path into UPS from the street as that allowed the company to see what they we,re truly getting in a real test of a month of work during what use to be the most stressful month of delivery driving which is much more accurate than an interview. The company has always looked for up beat, positive, can do attitudes in hiring. In the last decade they have had to be more satisfied with just drawing in fairly warm bodies what with the physical work load of part-time opportunities here versus the relatively mediocre pay level offered for that brutal work often with minimum hours at sleep cycle interrupting hours. It is hard to find quality people willing to interrupt their normal sleep cycle for 31.50 before taxes to perform the intense level of physical work that a part-time UPS job entails. This is reflected in the lack of quality coming into the part-time workforce and the high turn over of the same. Regardless, the primary path to driving is putting in the dues as a part-timer. Those not willing to do this face a real lottery pick chance of coming into a full-time job off the street and frankly it requires not just what you do, but who you know. [/QUOTE]
