[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1721733, member: 52978"] Let me see if I can fill in a couple of blanks. My son is a shifter at the hub I retired from. He is currently earning over 20.00/hr due to his years of service and regular raises. He started out at 8.50 or whatever the going rate is/was and worked in the hub loading trailers. The shifting job was bid and he won. He has a regular start time every day. He has a guarantee daily as well (3.5 hours, I'm guessing here) He usually gets 5 hrs, and sometimes goes over and even doubles if they are in a real bind. He is not required to have a class A license to shift on the yard. No Ac in the mule, sorry. Think of it as having a free gym membership. Shifters are just that. A category who works for the feeder departments. If you already have a CDL, I assume you are a proficient backer. Ups uses anything from 28' to 53' ers and several in between. Shifters are like any other PT position (at least where I was) you get a 10 minute break during your shift (dictated by the yard controller) Who you communicate with via 2 way radio to receive moves. There is not a lot of dead time. You stay moving. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
