Hey all,
I'm a part time package handler at a hub in Washington. I've been here for a couple months & really enjoy the job. They pull me to whatever spot (unloading, loading, smalls, even clerking!) and I perform well and hardly make mistakes. I've been told I'm the best new hire in the past few months by an HR manager!
So, I really want to be a driver. With top rate being in the high 30's, I see myself doing it as a career. A PT Sup at my hub said by the time I turn 21 (in a little less than 3 years (yes I'm 18)) I will have more than enough seniority to start driving. However, my family is seriously considering moving to Arizona and I badly want to go with, however I don't want to give up my job at UPS and lose my seniority & have to put in more time to become a driver at a hub in Arizona where for all I know could take much longer than the 3 years it would take me here in Washington.
My question in a nutshell: If I were to stay here in WA, put in my time to become a driver, gain driver seniority after 30 days, is it possible to transfer to a hub in Arizona as a DRIVER? I just really don't want to restart as a package handler. How hard is it to transfer as a driver? I don't care what shi**y route they give me or how old the package car is, as long as I can stay a driver and not have to work as a PH for several more years.
Thanks UPS fam!
