I'm being told that because UPS is growing so quickly that they have a need for qualified Class A CDL operators with doubles/triples endorsement and had hired drivers directly off the street last year to fill a shortage and are now asking city van drivers if they want to train as a Tractor Trailer drivers....
I have a class A CDL with all the endorsements and have several years of doubles/triples experience with a clean driving record and I am being told that I am being hired as a seasonal driver (my 1st season) and have had a UPS driver tell me that if I am a good worker and can drive a truck that they will probably keep me on full time after the season is over because they still have a shortage to fill and need good qualified drivers. Is this true and what can I expect as a first time feeder driver working for UPS? Do they order and provide uniforms for seasonal drivers in their first season?
