[QUOTE="Doubleparkedrunner, post: 4556770, member: 71878"] It only took me about 6 months to start driving. But that all depends on the area of the country you're in and more importantly the specific area in your state and how much rural expansion is taking place and how many guys are retiring , etc. I did a lot of research before I decided to leave , most of it here on browncafe but a lot of it also by picking the brains of the UPS drivers on my old ground route. And I was so determined to move over that I was willing to wait up to a couple years in order to drive with them. After the research I was pretty sure it wouldn't take me more than a year to get in and luckily I was correct. Again, every area is different and in the old days before amazon and such, it would take guys 5 to 8 years in my area to get a driving job so I feel incredibly blessed that it all sort of " fell in my lap " in the manner that it did.
