[QUOTE="vandura, post: 143236, member: 7638"] I am currently "paying my dues" according to one driver's words. Was hired as seasonal feeder driver in South Eastern Div. And, so I am aware and willing to be "on the bottom" of the call list. Yet still, I must wonder...when will the PEAK season arrive? At our terminal it is SLOOWW and thus I've worked 1 day in the past 14 days. I was told that about 5 other drivers are also sitting home. I was certainly hoping to continue to drive for UPS following the "peak season," but now it looks like they will not need me--nor the current new drivers they already have. Are there other seasonal drivers out there experiencing the same at your location? Please let me hear from you! What is going on? Yes, Ive talked to some others around and to my TM. In his words, "It's scarily slow." Most packages that we have recieved at home have been sent US Post Office. With my research and limited understanding of the economy, the 2007 retail forecast looks pitiful. Enough for now. Enough to see how many honest folk are reading this. Any help would be appreciated. What to do? [/QUOTE]
