[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 809831, member: 6408"] At UPS and UPS Freight, they do not "bid" on contracts, "win or lose" them or get "out-bid" by other freight carriers. All UPSF terminals are union now. Some took longer than others to accept and ratify. When ratified, they voted on a length of time for their contract to be in force or existence. Some, on the east coast, are nearer to expiring than further inland, hence you may be referring to an upcoming vote on a new contract, which can either be accepted or rejected. You may be referring to their individual "job" or "route" bid. In most UPSF terminals, road runs or even city P/D jobs are bid twice a year. Whoever is qualified or had the seniority can bid on the run or job they are classified in and hold that for the next six months. You, as a new driver, would probably not have enought seniority to bid on anything for quite a while and would be relegated to taking whatever is left. Could be good, could be bad. Local volume would dictate whether you would work steady or not. Here, I say, HERE, most lowere seniority UPSF guys are working pretty steady, whether road or city. You should do some research in you local area. Talk to your BA to see how those guys are faring. [/QUOTE]
