I am a full-time package car driver with 1 year seniority as a full-time driver but 12 years total with the company. When I qualified for the Full-Time package car position I thought this is what i worked toward my entire career. But it didn't take me long to see how bad drivers get used and abused. Not only is the job physically draining but mentally as well. it had gotten to the point that i wanted to leave UPS all together. But a few 22.3 classification bids have come up and I signed them. I just got a call Friday from my driver center manager that I may get one of the bids and he needs my decision right away.
The hours for the 22.3 bid suck (Night-sort package handler/ EAM or air driver) and of course it is a pay-cut but it sounds less stressful and less physical.
Still I worry that I maybe making a mistake by leaving driving so soon for a hub job. But in the long-run I am saving my body all kinds of abuse.
Help me out here fellow Brownies.
