Nothing is happening until after the contract is settled. Supposed to be new language about transferring agreed upon in it (according to the update webinars the IBT put out). Best bet is to wait and see once it has been settled.

But even that language was just for part time I’m fairly certain.

The company has no mechanism for transfer for hourly. But even more than that the local unions would not allow it because of seniority.

Can I not follow their work?

No, no you can not follow their work, only your own work

Dude, we over-hired because of 'pandemic"-related volume. Now that volume is regressing to normal levels and we're looking for a substantial increase in pay/benefits, it's gonna be a while before UPS is hiring FT drivers, you'll be PT for years.

Beyond that, have you seen the southern supplement? Have you seen the UPS retirement package? You're in the west, as @542thruNthru and @DELACROIX can confirm, you don't wanna be anywhere else. Find somewhere out here that's similar to what you're looking for. Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington...all of them have towns like what you're looking for, find a few and put in on the transfer list. Best option.
