[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4585304, member: 80301"] If youre open to the idea of moving, look for rural areas that are boasting lots of growth. I know at my center, I went driving in 9 months. The guy that got me in to UPS had to work preload for 6 years before going driving because he was at a LARGEEEE hub with lots of ppl infront of him. Then the volume got so out of control that they had no choice but to open up another center about 40 miles south of that one. Thats the one I ended up going to even though the city I live in has a big one. If I had went to the big one, today, Id probably be stuck in preload until retirement. But we are hiring 2 drivers every week! Our volume, even for a smaller center, has been greater than some of the bigger centers around us. I got lucky as far as timing goes I suppose but knowing what I know now about UPS, that would have been the approach I took if interested in working here. But who knows what the future of mail is. I certainly dont, but I do know to some degree UPS is already set up to deal with mail per our surepost. Im sure if the demand was there to pick it up, UPS could find a way to make it happen. I can imagine little brown mail trucks with the shield on the side. Might end up being a good retirement gig for old timer UPS'ers even. Instead of bidding on a country route they could bid on a surepost route. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
