[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 815544, member: 484"] Working for UPS and FEDEX is like being engaged to two girls at the same time. My question is why would you want to? Secondly, you want to get paid to sweat. THats nice. You lost 90 pounds working for UPS. Problem is not the work, its the beer. Hell, its taken you 8+ years? Fedex has nothing to offer that will help you. Ya gotta quit the drinkin and eatin so much. You want us to believe that you have been working for UPS for 8+ years, and still have not figured out what is going on???? As the business grows, we hire. As drivers retire, we hire. As drivers die, we hire. And with very few exceptions, those are the only time we will hire a new driver. You ought to already know that. Now, as far as laid off drivers go, yes, they will hire them back before they even think about you. So no, that is not BS. Also, as Up mentioned, there are a lot of places where you will have to wait a lot longer than others to get full time. Detroit comes to mind as a very depressed area. When the local economy is in the dumps, it could take 10 years or more. Now, there is one upside. The driving workforce is getting older. A lot of drivers that are nearing retirement is very high, as they were hired at the time UPS was going nation wide, and then international. In our center, that is over 1/3 of the drivers that were hired in the mid 70's-mid 80's. While some will want to continue on past 35 years, others will not. d [/QUOTE]
