Finally made full time driver

[Rainman]

Those old 8's were some of the best packages cars UPS had when they were new. Now they are beat up hunks of junk though.

You must really be old- just kidding. I drove the old style trucks for 20 years before we for a bunch of the newer trucks with auto transmission & power steering. You're right about them being good trucks, though. You could do just about anything and go just about anywhere in them. I don't miss that tall 1st step, though.

I agree that tall step sucked but those trucks were tanks.

Seems to me that the new trucks now have a low first step but the second step seems as high as the old package cars.

i don't miss the non power steering p5s we had that you had to work the steering wheel from just about 9 to 3 to keep it straight on the highway

After starting at ups in early 2004, I quickly became a cover driver within about a year. There I sat for years, working 6 days a week and getting sent back to the hub all the time. But finally I just went full time top rate driver. I just recently passed my probation and am very happy. I'm in, I'm top rate and I couldn't be happier. Also as a little kicker when I was going through my probation 2 more people got hired on full time so I have already moved up 2 spots and another cover driver in my center goes full time in a couple weeks so I move up one spot again! That is all.

Should have came to our center. We have more than 5 new fulltime drivers that have been at UPS less than a year.

Good for you, be safe and work hard. One thing I highly recommend is putting money into your 401k, if you have just made a large jump in pay you wont miss what you never had. When you are 65 you will be happy you saved.
