While not impossible it would be extremely difficult to carry a full load while working full time.

Even if I only go to school part time? Like taking a couple of classes.

Night classes?
While full time? Heck, it's hard enough to do while working part time. It would be really hard to take even one class while driving. :/

Actually that's probably the way to go. I'll have to check and see what's their latest classes. Thanks.
Maybe look for weekend classes, too? Probably not too likely. The weekend classes my school offers are completely useless as far as my major is concerned. Worth a look though.

I'm not driving now, but I will be driving soon. I'm only going to be an Air driver so I'm not going full time yet I just wanted to get an idea before I become full time.

If you were a supervisor and you were taking classes, UPS will accommodate you in getting your degree.
As a driver, it's tough to know if you can get out early enough to fit classes in your schedule and UPS has no interest in helping you either.
If you are planning to use your degree in a career field outside of UPS, going into management would be beneficial to you.

Are you going to have your own route and set hours or are you going to be on call all the time?

I was never accommodated because of a school schedule.

My FT driver sup has !
He's able to leave early on nights he has classes.
UPS management will always be accommodated if you are earning a degree.
Obviously, you can't take classes when you're suppose to be working.
But leaving early or coming in late because of it, to my knowledge is acceptable.

My wife and I did a dance class 1 night a week. It was an 8p start and there were several nights that I met her at the class location and changed out of browns right before the class.
We have talked about doing it again, but both agreed that it sucked racing there to be on time and then not having supper till after class.

I wish it was that way. I had a class that met in the mornings, but the exams were at night because they were so long. They would make me 30-45 minutes late to the sort. I was told to drop the class or take a discretionary day. Thankfully I was able to work with the professor.
