Somewhat similar predicament ...
I just finished training for a utility/Saturday air driver and I just found out yesterday that they won't even be calling me in for saturdays. I'm a back up, back up, back up driver... fug it!
So I gotta wake up super early every Saturday, waiting for a call, that will never come... that sounds exciting!
I was really hoping to do some cover driving this summer, but it's not going to happen.
I also found out that one of our supervisors is delivering packages instead of calling in utility drivers!
It seems the minute u discover opportunity at ups you must roll thru the dirt, do the truffle-shuffle, and wait a few more years.
Keep ur chin up and expect the worst, because that's what they'll give you every time.
Sent using stone and chisel.
