This all depends on your center and what you are hired to do. If you are hired as a p & d driver then with seniority you will be able to get on days. If you are a road driver then that is nights mostly, that could take many years to get to days. Good luck and welcome to UPS Freight.

it all depends on what job you want to work and the terminal you got hired to work at.
if your at a end of line facility you'll have a good chance to get days fairly quick, if you got hired at a larger hub terminal it could take 15+ years to get on a day shift bid.
at hrs 129 there are dockworkers with 15- 16 years seniority that cant get a first shift bid .
then we have city drivers that have a 10am start with 3 or 4 years in.
