[QUOTE="959Nanook, post: 325427, member: 14462"] I count myself as fortunate to have had the opportunity to be a driver's helper. Aside from the issue that I owe my job at UPS to the recommend from the driver (i.e. it got my foot in the door for permanent employment), I think it makes me a much better part-timer because of the delivery experience I got during peak. I do not see the downside of cross training (a term commonly heard in the military) UPSers whose job has a direct impact on other UPSers jobs. That just makes sense ... On the cost of browns, I see no reason why they need browns. Collared shirt of their own and a brown UPS jacket would suffice. I (along with the other driver's helpers at my center) went through the entire peak season with just a brown UPS jacket (granted, we are a small center at the end of the line and can probably get away with things like this where other higher visibility centers may not). The point is that the customers understood perfectly well that I was an UPSer when they saw the brown jacket with UPS markings. On the cost of overtime, overtime costs $12.75/hr for a new hire. This is not going to break the bank. On the cost of the "problematic ones", they are either going to get it the first time around or they aren't. [/QUOTE]
