No you cant move from ups freight to ups small package. Pick one and your stuck there

UPS Freight and UPS Package are essentially two separate companies. We are just owned by the same corporation. You can't bounce between each at the hourly level.

I would think that would also hold true for management.

It is not. Freight transfers are allowed, though it is rare.

When we had frieght seasonals they made them use paper time cards. Were not allowed to use ivis or punch in

Been in feeders many years UPS Freight drivers can't bounce over to UPS package but would have to quit Freight and then reapply at package losing all your seniority

When a new center was opened up in Sumner, WA I asked if there was any ways that I could transfer into feeders there after all feeders that wanted to transfer were transferred and was told no. I even asked if I would have an advantage over an off the street new hire, I was also told no. So that would be your answer. We are two different companies with two different contracts.
