[QUOTE="Random_Facts, post: 1108513, member: 30383"] hey, welcome to the brown cafe first off. Secondly you can become a UPS driver right away it depends on luck and right timing but it can be done. Some people on here will disagree with what I'm saying. The driver I load for has 27 years on him, never worked as a part timer and was hired off the street. (granted that was years ago). But it still happens to this day. Most people on the other hand who are drivers and didn't work part time, started out as seasonal. If they really like you, and you're doing a great job then generally you stay on board. (unless it's feeders you really want, then that's another story..) Now if you join UPS as a part timer, and load trucks, for a few years. (again it depends on each building). Like in my hub for example, you can become a full time driver in about 5 years. But in other hubs people say 10 plus years. It depends on seniority and how many people are before you wanting it. Remember some people will have more than you, but want to go into management instead of driving. So that helps your odds as well. Last but not least, as long as you're in good health and can lift boxes, your age shouldn't be a factor. I know a guy who just turned 60 and he's been a part timer for almost 15 years. Anyway, I hope you get in, if that's your true dream. don't let anyone tell you it's not possible, because it clearly is. Have a great day! [/QUOTE]
