UPS Feeder Driver

Depends on where you're at. If you apply at the big hubs, I know guys that converted in six months. Of course, these are hubs like Chicago, Louisville, Indy, Jacksonville etc.

 

That's what I hear, also.

 

Currently work foodservice and enjoy it but would eventually like to get into just driving linehaul. I see a seasonal driver position avail here in Vegas and was thinking about throwing my hat in.

Have a doubles/trips endorsement but have never ran them. Pops ran doubles for a long time and said it is a little weird to get used to the wiggle of the rear but you get used to it. Are the sets already linked up when you get there or are you linking them up before you go?

 

Every terminal is different, but I generally build my own sets.

 

Looks like i landed the seasonal gig. Going in monday for paper work and schedule physical.

Foots in the door. Hope this contract works out and enough people retire for me to grab a permenant spot lol

 

Under the new contract, things are going to be a little easier on the new guys. Every little bit helps, I suppose.

 

Ill have to see what it is. Most of the stuff i read im guessing pertains to freight and their contract.

 

The old full-time starting rate was $18.75 per hour and 40 cpm. Now it's $21 and 59 cpm. You just have to wait on the new contract to go through. Which is a whole debacle in and of itself, but let's not get into that.

Seasonal pay is at the local terminal's discretion, so that can vary from area to area.
