Has that changed?? I thought that it used to be worded something along the lines of 'completing 2 years of service on the qualified list.' It might have even been 3 years. I thought that amongst the pile of paperwork that I signed was a sheet that stated that I agreed that my week of training pay would be forfeited if I was DQd or removed myself from the qualified list within x years of being qualified.
When I went, I was paid 40 hours of straight time, I stayed in a hotel near the hub where I trained and I received a per diem for food. I had to turn in receipts for the food, so I went out for steak one night, on the way home, bought the mother lode of BBQ and turned in those receipts. It was easier than saving the receipts for the grocery shopping that I did, the sandwiches that I got from the same grocery, etc.
My 1st day of training, I rode my motorcycle down, thinking that I would commute everyday. The 2nd day, I rode down and stayed in the hotel. I needed the quiet time to read and study the materials. My road test was done by a UPS employee that was state certified to give the CDL road test.
I did my non-productive week in late June and did not do my production week until August. I was paid for my non-productive week the week following, just like a normal paycheck.

Yep.... in 1997.
After 2 years on the list, you could DQ yourself. Now's it 3 years.
If it was less than a year, you couldn't bid again for 18 months.... now it's 24.
Here,
You always got paid for your productive week, because you were performing work.
Once you passed that.... they paid you for the non-productive week.

I mis-wrote that. I was paid for my non-productive week the Friday following, just like a normal paycheck. I went back to package until I did my production week. I did 2 or 3 more weeks that year and have been doing 3-4 weeks a year since.
Next year will be big. 1 of our feeder guys is retiring, so I will fill in for at least 10-12 weeks a year. No one else is retiring for a while, so I suspect that the next feeder school bid will be filled by another low seniority guy. As always though, we'll see when we see.

I think that is why I had to sign the sheet that I signed. I don't remember for sure, but I think someone said that if I DQd, the school week would be covered by a week of vacation.
It was all a complicated way of saying that I would be paid for the non-productive week one way or another.

The company was certified to do that here.
Then, the state said they had to make it available to the general public.
UPS said.... uh, no.

Substitute words. For example. Call them "Fun Bags" or " Love Apples" We'll get the idea.

I'm into distribution!!
In my state the DMV can go back and retest anyone who got their CDL through a 3rd party tester.
It would suck to get a letter from the state 9 months after receiving your CDL giving you 30 days to be retested. It's happened to two drivers in my building that I know of. Both failed their first two retests.

Who says we can’t use logic?
Just finished my first day of training. And to answer my own question we do get paid for the first week.

"At my location"...
Yeet
Not gonna let ‘em catch the Midnight Rider
Yeah, some people don’t get this. Just because your location does things a certain way, doesn’t mean it applies across the board. I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that my hub DOES NOT pay you for your first week. It’s even typed in bold on the sign up sheet.
