[QUOTE="SnowCitizen, post: 532140, member: 10162"] If you want to be a true "OTR" trucker, UPS offers very few of these positions. Most of their feeders are local only. The OTR they have is teams. Since you are only 19 and you can't drive trucks yet anyways, I would say give UPS a shot and see if it works out. If not, you could always move on when you are 23 (which is the age most companies require to drive interstate loads, though the law is only 21.) I actually tried to do what you are thinking about doing. I got a job at UPS to pay for college at age 20. I had wanted to be a truck driver since age 12 or so. When I got the job at UPS I wasn't even thinking about actually driving for UPS, I was just there for tuition reimbursement. About two years ago I decided I would try to become a feeder driver with UPS. In my location you can go from part-time to feeders. I still have a few years of waiting to go for a full-time feeder job. Last Oct I attempted to work peak as a seasonal feeder and I was disqualified. I am going to give it at least one more try, but I have found it difficult to jump into the fast-paced job of UPS feeders with no trucking experience. Good luck [/QUOTE]
