[QUOTE="UPSer21, post: 519927, member: 17906"] All the other guys who posted said it perfectly. Its all about your seniority. When a driver slot opens, it goes to the bidder with the highest seniority. No one job, or switching jobs will lead to quicker route when it comes to becoming a pckg car driver. A lot of new hires, or people from the outside think that signing up to be a driver helper during peak will lead them to a friend/T driving job. That just is not the case. You must start out at the bottom, put in your time, and then you can worry about becoming a driver. Ask a driver, or a friend/T manager for their estimate on the current wait to get in as a driver at your hub. Also in my opinion, if I were you... I wouldn't go to sort. Just wait until you have higher seinority on your belt and then you can be a high or low volume pickoff and make the exact same amount of money as a sorter (of course your final hourly rate also depends on seniority). Being a pickoff I feel would be easier than going to sort. But it all depends on what you personally want, and like. Basically when your in the union, almost everything depends on how long you've been there. Good luck :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
