I have multiple friends working for UPS as drivers in different areas of the country. In my area in the midwest, at all three hubs within 5-25 miles from me, the wait times to drive are roughly 6 months-1.5 years.
Talked to a buddy in Texas who said the time at his hub is the same. In Minnesota, at least according to a friend, it seems to be a similar situation at his hub.
With this prime anecdotal evidence, and lots of posts on here about shorter wait times and being understaffed across the board for this year's peak, does it seem like UPS is growing and driver wait times are shrinking in some areas? When I first looked into UPS about 5 years ago, all of my friends said to expect a 3-5 year wait to drive. Seems shorter in some places now. Just wondering about the factors causing this, if it is indeed happening.
