    Just grab the cup of water and slam it down. Say “Man I was thirsty” No chance of failing right there.

    Well...there are no true "OTR" positions at UPS. Even our "road" drivers are home every day.

    Local guys go to rail yards and businesses within a 50-mile radius, OTR guys go to terminals and meet points within a 350-mile radius.

    Not at parcel. I'm considered a "road" driver, and I'm home every day.

    The only thing you have to worry about is which company under the UPS umbrella you are being hired by. There are UPS truckload, UPS Freight and UPS small package feeders. The last one is what you're shooting for.

    A few years back I had UPS freight try to pull a sneaky one on me when I applied.

    Wow really that’s nuts man. So if I want feeder make sure I’m applying to feeder and not freight. I want to make sure I’m apart of the Union for sure and just do feeders ltl and be home daily/nightly

    UPS parcel and UPS Freight are both Union. UPS Truckload is not.
