[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 925340, member: 6408"] Where do you start with this one? Over and Cach pretty much nailed it here, tho. If you have these issues NOW, it ain't gonna get better, kid. First of all, he said he could TRANSFER to NJ? In most parts of the country, you can't do that with UPS just because there's an opening where you want to go. In most parts, if he quits his present position (on good terms), he MAY be able to get REHIRED at a different location, only to start over. Second, UPS is like this, that is, they can tell you you're hired, then put you on hold for days/weeks/months, maybe evern years, just waiting for THEY, THEMSELVES to make up their mind. If he already works for UPS in DE, he already knows the routine, that they can constantly hold out the "carrot", with you/him never being able to grab it. Another thing, if he doesn't want to study now, you ain't gonna force him. Does this indicate another underlieing problem? That maybe he's not motivated? Think about it. Something else, if UPS DOES send him to school, UPS does NOT give him a CDL upon graduation. He merely passed the school. It is up to HIM to go get a CDL. Now, UPS may provide the vehicle necessary to take the CDL test but you don't automatically start driving for UPS after school. Like was also said, if he's this new, he's gonna have smile* for hours, routes, bids, etc. Can HE put up with that? Can YOU put up with that? Yes, the pay is great, after he makes full progression, but the sacrifices are many. It's gonna take years to get what you or he may consider a good bid. Can you or him put up with that for so long? I worked in feeders for 30 of my 32 years at UPS and almost all of those years was at night or sleeper team, which was away from home a week at a time. Good luck to both of you. Feel free to ask any more questions you may have or better yet, have HIM ask these questions. [/QUOTE]
