Atlanta area UPS centers

[Mxrider56]

Good afternoon,

I am considering employment with UPS. I recently moved to Atlanta and would like to eventually become a delivery driver. I am close to 3 centers I believe; Forest Park, Atlanta and Roswell. I am just curious which center has the shortest wait time to go from P/T package handler to friend/T delivery driver. Every discussion I've read says it varies from hub to hub and could take anywhere from 90 days to 10+ years. I have a good driving record and employment history and have hopes of eventually working my way to a becoming a delivery driver. Thanks for all the help, I know this question gets asked a lot. I just wanted to try and reach out to the individuals in the Atlanta area. I assume I can't call the centers directly and ask HR this question, correct?

How did you know where those 3 hubs were???

Roswell can't get enough PTers to go FT driving right now. We have PT cover drivers who refuse to take the leap, had a couple PT cover drivers disqualify themselves to go back to their main job.

Ask yourself one question before you say, "That's great for me", why do you think these employees are turning down the position?

Mr. Butt, I had a team driver that told me they recently changed their schedule around to pick up a trailer (or trailers) at a brand new hub near Atlanta that handled only irregs. He said everyone there was new hires except management. Do you know the name of this place?

Why is that, poor management? Terrible routes? I feel like everyone is gunning for a FT driver position
