I thought gherkins were more common in NY.
That would be downstate as everything is bigger in Upstate NY.

The only thing bigger in Upstate NY is the snowfall amount!That would be downstate as everything is bigger in Upstate NY.
UPS is an investment. It blows in the beginning but get better (money/ benefits) later on down the road.
Then I think it comes down to the possibility of going back to such a position if UPS doesn't work out. Is this at all a possibility? I understand most employers don't go for stuff like that but perhaps you have special circumstances?
Stay where you are; if you are unhappy with your position, find a different line of work.
After 30 years, and seeing how this company has changed, I would not recommend ups as a career to anyone.
Just being completely honest with you.
Oh dear lord....my eyes!! I'm gonna miss having corneas...The fact that I do a kick-ass job for my current supervisor, one of the first drivers to come in the morning/dont get packages late/rarely call in sick. I'm easily my supervisor's top 2 or 3 out of like 15/20 drivers. I'm almost positive he'll take me back based on my work ethic, thing is I dont know if he'll get offended. Leaving him to try out UPS and that not working out for what ever reason(too slow, fail road course, or no driver position open) only to come back to him asking if he'll take me back like a girlfriend cheating on her guy begging to take him back. Kind've of the same idea.
When the UPS guy on my route tells me "hey bro, we're accepting drivers to work at our facility. so give it a shot see where it goes" then he goes on and tells me "yeah starting pay is 17.50hr but the first four years are not going to suck but after four years you'll make 90K to 120K a year you wont care" To be perfectly honest law enforcement has always interested me so I've thought of applying for the Sheriff's Dept possibly working at the county jail but then this opportunity arises and IDK what to do.
What do you mean by at this point in time you wouldn't recommend UPS as a career??
Who do you work for that's small time where you get 160 to 230 stops a day?
