[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 72051, member: 1356"] You mentioned you are experienced with ten years as a driver. That is not necessary an advantage as UPS has [B]very specific[/B] methods and orders of procedure of doing any and everything and are very anal about it. Frankly, management in general thinks it's easier to train from scratch rather than attempt to break you of all your [I]bad habits[/I]. :D If your driving record, tickets, accidents,etc. is good you might want to accent that portion and not about how you already know how to do the job. This has been discussed many times, but basically your most likely path into driving is to apply for part-time employment and transfer to full-time (driving) when you have earned it through seniority. I know, you don't want to wait or become a part-timer, you are already a driver elsewhere and would prefer to just step into a premiere job. Oh well, life rarely works that way. :p Contractually UPS hires full-time drivers in a [B]six[/B] from part-time rank's transfer to [B]one[/B] [I]off the street[/I]. The [I]off the street[/I] is normally a part-time supe transfer in recent years many places, so your chances of stepping into a driver job off the street is small to none. Some places the wait is short, some long, so it depends on your location as to how long you have to work part-time to get what you want. [/QUOTE]
