[QUOTE="Maplewood, post: 3340700, member: 69364"] Some pros to going full time now: Good chance drivers hired after Aug 1 can be forced to work Sundays for straight time. In the West full timers qualify for retirement 2 years earlier and get higher hourly pension rate. UPS has been intentionally using alot of scab/subcontracted feeder drivers just because they can't replace pkg car drivers if they go feeder. This is supposed to be addressed immediately so you may rise quite quickly in the next couple years. My local traditionally sends 6 or so guys into feeder each year. This year Feeder is asking for 36 and the pkg car centers are in a bind to try to get new drivers. They are basically lowering there standards for the pkg driver job instead of raising compensation right now. [/QUOTE]
