can i go from warehouse to feeders?

[drepop]

ive been working at the warehouse for 11 years. went package cart once and will be going again. I hated it!

I'm a very fast worker and was fast when I did package car but I still didn't make the cut because I couldn't scratch. I got hired during peak season and my truck was too filled up and I had trouble early in the day delivering on time.

well I'm going again soon. passed my first road test and am headed to orientation. I don't want to go through with it again but I have to in order to get to feeders which I'm told can take another 10 years.

my question is do I have to do package before feeders? or is there a way to go from warehouse to feeders? I was told there was a way but management tells me there is no other way. seems like an inside thing.

I have my cdl but they said it doesn't matter. all help and responses appreciated. I'm tired of working in the warehouse and my body is starting to break down. package was easier on my body but not my mind. I just want to drive feeders. I don't want to be miserable doing package car for 10 years before feeders. but seems like I have to. first I have to land the job ofcourse.

UPS wants proven package car drivers that can deminstdemo they can drive safely before the jump into feeders.

Sucks it’s a ten year wait. We have drivers in progression going out to feeders, for the past five years here.

Is that because you are so awesome?

PT air driver's are going into feeder school at my building right now. Can't get enough FTers on board.

Must have one year safe driving in the package car classification. No PT or FT air driver need apply.

Back in the day.

In my Local, once they exhaust the list from pkg car drivers "others" have

a chance before the company hires off the street.

If they meet the same qualifications as an off the street hire. And you would start over as a new hire. The Union protects Feeder jobs at my Hub.

My Local has separate seniority practice. The company trains them.

And you would start over as a new hire.

A part-timer would, but still retains vacation weeks.

The Union protects Feeder jobs at my Hub.

From what ?

My Local would rather see an existing Union employee advance.

Need 1 year of safe driving before you can go up to feeders where I’m at.

Was same here.

There was quite a period of time when NO friend/T package drivers wanted feeders. Lots of P/Ters were then taken.

my brother in law went right into feeder from full time preload. he never drove a package car. after i bid on a clerk job from preload i was still on the feeder list and was asked as well a few years after he went.
