Transferring hubs as a feeder driver

[Lometa]

Hi everyone, I’m a ups feeder driver in Utah and for family reasons have to move to Texas, how do I go about transferring to ups hub in Texas..I know I would have to lose my seniority but have to do it. Any info or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Contact your local. Transfer rules tend to vary by locals.

Perhaps contact the local where you're going also?

Just a thought.....

Texas is not part of the Western Region of Teamsters Supplemental agreement. You would have to quit and get rehired.

Than you might as well quit and get rehired. I would reach out to the local in Texas that represents the building you want to go to and ask questions and lay down ground work. Than I would also see if they can get you in touch with managers there. I believe TX is hiring feeder off the street. Either way it's a gamble and it's a tough decision you're going to have to make.

Speaking with your local and telling them your issue might also help.

Good luck.
