That is not good to hear! That makes me less inclined to work at the hub. I have told them from day one, that I am here to be a driver, not a loader. I want to consider my loading and hub days gone with the wind. I guess I will play it by ear. Hopefully, it will work out. Looking to deliver packages, not load trucks like a 19 year old. No offense! Been there done it as a 19 year old, and again as a 40 plus year old.

I missed that sense of entitlement Ox. Good catch.

What is Amway? If that is a biz, then no.
Ouch, not near a Millennial. I am just simply wanting to do what I am capable of doing for a decent pay. Nothing more or less. No need for me to screw my shoulders up loading for $10 an hour, so I am miserable to do what I want to do, not to mention, what will serve the company better.

You never heard of Amway?
I was an off the street seasonal last year, and did a great job. Then got kicked to loading. No entitlement. Just sucks going backwards instead of forwards! Busted my butt doing a good job, then they take a great driver and stick them back to loading, not to mention sent to take driving test again.
No I have not. Had to look up.
Didn't we all when we were climbing that union seniority ladder.

Uh.......no.
Yeah, yeahhhhhh
I agree, but what I am concerned about is protecting both my body and wallet, while I climb that ladder. Loading is breaking my body, and wallet. I will be a dedicated TCD and full time driver, but do not want to load, unload, or whatever else in hub.

Who does
At my center you can expect to be with UPS for about 8 years to go from permanent PT hire to top rate. Under the current contract. Some places are longer. Might want to check your expectations.
It's sad, but not uncommon to see.
Well, I have already loaded a 53 foot for 7 months, before that I was off the street driving over an hour and a half to first stop, and the same back for several months before having to load trucks. Nearly 60 hours a week all peak. Was a good driver! Took the pay cut and ass kicking, to do it again. However, I am sick of the hub and don't want to get fired for not going to hub. I want to be in tip top shape to drive, not hurting shoulders or wallet.

Wants don't matter at UPS.
