[QUOTE="evilleace, post: 531993, member: 16936"] Welcome to BC and UPS. The starting wage is determined by the contract which you can find a link to on the left side under teamster news. $8.50 is for unskilled such as unloading and the $9.50 is for skilled such as loading or sorting. You are guaranteed 3 1/2 hrs. The 17 1/2 hrs. is guaranteed and usually get about 19-20 probably not over 20. You will also receive insurance after 1 yr of employment. Your day will consist of either loading or unloading trailers probably unloading or loading package cars it will be early if you are on the preload start berween 4-4:30 and get done around 8:30 to 9. The wait to become a driver is usually at least 5 years and can be more really just depends on the size of your center and how many retirements. OTR which is called feeders here can take years to get into and is mostly made up of former package drivers but the wait usually tops 20 years ft to get one of these jobs sometimes less in a smaller building. Now this job is hot, hard, and physical work it is nothing lilke you expect it to not trying to scare you just letting you know it is not for everyone but if you put in your time it can pay off big for you down the road. Good luck and keep us updated on how it goes. (The biggest thing at UPS is seniority rules there is no way to bypass seniority) [/QUOTE]
