Off street driver hires

[PT Car Washer]

It's tough to do in my building. We had a pretty decent 10+ year PT sup..kept promising to promote him to full time for the last few years. He finally saw the writing on the wall and tried to go driving. Management gave him the runaround for months...until he quit.

I think it is impossible for a PT sup to go driving anymore. At least in my building. None of the PTers who were promoted to FT management had to drive.

They have pretty much eliminated the 30 day driving rule.

We have 5-6 PTers who will start driving fairly soon.

Up until a few years ago, I've seen PT sups go driving for 30 days to get promoted to FT management. Not sure if it's still a requirement.

What do u mean eliminated?

Oh are you talking about driving before going ft management?

Yes. Our new on-car was a preload sup in Houston. He went to driving school and learned the rest on the job.


He is still learning.

I assume you mean Houston, Texas. How did he get from Texas to upstate N.Y. ?

I meant employment wise. Was he a transfer or did he resign in Texas and moved away and applied at UPS in N.Y.?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

He applied for the promotion. He wasn't the first choice---the first guy could not get his Visa paperwork (Canada) done in time---but it has worked out well so far.

You should have seen this Texas transplant try to deal with his first Upstate NY winter. : )

I didn't realize UPS management could transfer across the country. Or to other countries. How common is this?

I teach our newest driver sup something new almost daily.

Everytime I say. What they didn't teach you that at intergad?

His reply is always hell no

The on-car in question was "trained" by a center manager who is no longer with the company so he is having to "re-learn" his job.

I give him credit in that he does listen to the older guys.
