[QUOTE="njnewbie, post: 532022, member: 21419"] I started 2 and a half months ago at 8.50 an hour. Just got a 50 cent raise and another dollar raise so I'm up to 10 an hour. During my first 30 days I was the first person they would let go at the end of the shift. But now there is another new guy so I'm getting more hours. I worked 21 hours last week and could've worked more but I had to leave early one day. It seems like I'm going to be getting more hours every week. The work is hard and physical but I'm athletic so I love the workout. If you don't like a good workout then you won't like UPS. Don't even bother. I sweat bullets the whole time I'm there. You will be pretty sore the first couple of weeks even if you already workout already. I made it real clear to them that the reason I'm there is to become a driver. You have to be in the union for 1 year before you can get on the waiting list. My full time supervisor tells me he should be able to get me driving pretty soon after that. I know everyone on this site says it takes years but that's not what my supervisors tell me. Maybe because I'm in one of the busiest parts of the country so demand for drivers is higher? I don't know but I hope it doesn't take much longer than a year. [/QUOTE]
