[QUOTE="ducky13swing, post: 107392, member: 6028"] First of all any chance you get to be in a driving position, TAKE IT. You may not be hired on after the holiday as a driver, but the experience you recieve while on road will be valuable if you were to work in the center or hub as a pacakge handler. Granted you will be the new guy in package handling, but you can influence those around you when you see someone who does not have good package handling, you can say "do you know what it is like to take a customer a package that is damaged?" You can have an influence on others. You will know how embarassing it is to deliver a christmas gift marked fragile, that is rattling inside. You will see the (not always) the difference the brown makes in your area. It is a good experience. If your career path leads you to management, then you will already have some experience on road. This is almost as important having a college degree these days. I would go for it. Even after 6 months, you may decide that UPS is not right for you, then you just don't come back. Being hired as a seasonal emp, you are not expected to stay after peak, but you can always try to get back on in January. Also, if you are already trained to be a driver, depending on where you are, you could be the one they call on to do some Early AM deliveries. Another bonus and extra hours. [/QUOTE]
