[QUOTE="Harley Rider, post: 247490, member: 10872"] Ryan It sounds to me like you have your foot firmly planted in the door. If you do a good job I can assure you there is nothing the management team would like better than to hire you on a permanent basis. I was one of the lucky ones that was hired straight into driving off the street many moons ago. Your right when you state that we forget where we came from. Even though the cost of living is much cheaper where I live, I am amazed that people are able to survive on the money that companies are paying these days. Even worse when you have kids that you are trying to raise. When there are only "X" amount of driving positions available there isn't much they can do with the hiring process. The company wants production high and costs low so they only hire enough people to get the job done. But...... you know that already. We are continually working long hours in our center. The center manager informed us yesterday that they were going to hire a peak helper from last year and send him to driver training in the next two weeks. After peak it will take a lot of effort on his part not to become discouraged with the lack of hours. He will work only on vacation coverage and heavy days. Bottom line is that the squeaky wheel gets the grease at UPS. Don't let them forget you. Once they know that you have desire to work, they will remember you when the time comes, 6:1 ratio or not if they can make it work. Believe me. I know from personal experience. Took me three years to get hired and I bugged the center manager every week till they hired me. Good luck to you. Sounds as if you have your head on straight. [/QUOTE]
