FT driver compared to PT or other FT UPS jobs? Most of the other FT UPS jobs do not allow any overtime.

What is the importance of reaching your 30 days?
They're forcing 10-20 hours of overtime on Art. 22.3s here (depending what their positions are). They're more than happy to pay the OT if it means the job gets done.
Gonna need a 9.5 list for combo employees soon...
Before you reach your 30 they can fire you for anything. After your 30, they can still fire you for anything, but the union will step in and shove a contract up their ass.

Did not know that. I guess I was generalizing as almost all FT Union jobs (other then driving) in my building rarely are allowed OT except during Peak.
That's what I used to believe. But now the same people who I used to watch just drop their work and leave at exactly 8 hours are complaining about being forced to stay.
I guess it's part of the big production push they've got going on right now. Being able to leave at 8 hours is what used to be appealing about a combo job. Not so sure anymore.

30 calendar or work days?

Working days. And you may not be working 5 days a week either. 30 working days in a 90 calendar day period.
Making the union

HR told me I will be gaining seniority even if you don’t drive every day

I am betting the HR person misspoke. If you do a search, most of your questions have been answered many times.
HR says a lot of things. Even though you're not in the union, I'd recommend tracking down a steward in the building you'll be working out of and asking him or her for specific details. Should be a far more reliable source of information than HR.

I am sure HR did tell you this.

Miss spoke or flat out lied just to fill a spot.

Sometimes I wonder why I post, only to get criticized. Tough skin is also a UPS requirement, especially on this site.
I've tried, but never around when I am there going through the hiring process. Next time.

I heard the same thing from another driver that works in my area, that it's true.
Being able to make six figures with benefits and wear shorts year round. Get a wicked farmers tan and a free workout
