First, if this is your name and other identifiable information, take the thread down and start over, annonomously. Talk to the guy you used to work with might help. If you don't succeed, you usually go back to where you are working....if this helps.

First, consider changing your username and avatar, as this isn't Facebook or eHarmony. But as far as becoming a driver goes, just sign the bid sheet the next time an opening goes up. It'll go by seniority but as long as you fill the criteria you're in.

I just wanted to know if it a hard job and if being a unloader kind of get you ready for the hard work as a deliver driver because I work at a factory with no package cars

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Unloading trailers is nothing like driving a package car.

CACH is a hub, not a factory.

And I have nobody to get advice from there's no package car drivers at cach Hodgkin's factory

Since I am not perfect, I have asked plenty of stupid questions in my lifetime.
Fortunately, most of the people I have asked them to have chosen to answer with kindness rather than rubbing my nose in and deliberately humiliating me. So I make an effort to treat others the same way.

But thats just me.

Here is a novel idea; if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all.

Just a suggestion.

I think you are at a disadvantage because you are not working at a delivery center. If you were you may of been loading package cars and I believe this really helps.
