[QUOTE="SWORDFISH, post: 737187, member: 26234"] Im a seasoned veteran and drive package car for UPS. In my time at UPS I have only seen 1 guy hired off the street into driving, was working for another delivery company and drove for us for a few years seasonally before being hired. So very mostly likely you will be starting p/t and there are many different shifts depending on where you are so I couldnt say what. Starting pay to my knowledge is much lower than your current pay unless it is higher by area which I dont think it is. It will take you awhile to get benefits as well. It can take quite a long time to become a driver. In my center it has been from 1.5 years for the super lucky and up to 6 for most. I would say the times have changed now though because our bottom 5 drivers hardly ever work anymore and that has never been the case in the past. That seems to be the trend around the US so you could be waiting 5-10 years for a full time job or maybe more. By the way the stress level is very high for UPS as well. I would talk to drivers in your area and see what they have to say as well. Good luck:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
