Yes you can sign a bid for the Feeder Department as a package car driver or 22.4, usually with a minimum of one year safe driving. Then you’ll go to feeder school, one week paid training, one week unpaid to get your CDL. Raises are yearly and takes four years to max out at a over $40 an hour. By the time you get there it will likely be even more money.
Had the very same question, Mike. Thinking more long-term... get into the company first in any fashion (I'm not hired yet, but charging hard to become brown), then work/span time and hopefully get promoted from within to where you want to be. You're already in, so initial mission accomplished--good man! As for the tractor-trailer side of things, you need the schooling, the skills, and the CDL obtained through a reputable entity, before making the jump from box truck or van up to a big rig. Does UPS offer that specialized training from within? Great question. On that note, I've been looking at truck driving schools, and so far I'm not seeing that UPS offers any kind of pathway or school/paid training like CR England, CRST, Swift, etc. The job ads I see for UPS tractor-trailer drivers assume the applicant already has their CDL and experience as a trucker before applying. So, it's likely you'd need to get the trucker designation on your own, perhaps through a private school. The drawback there is that those private options can be quite expensive, so do your homework first and choose wisely. Truck driver pay is pretty good indeed (although I'm learning, like every profession, you need to be at it for a while, garnering experience to up your $$$). And while it's all relative, for me even making $55-65k (average to upper mid range for trucking) would be the highest paying job I've ever had. I know the good members of this site will give it to us straight about this question/scenario, so I look forward to their responses and insight. In the meantime, congrats on your position, be safe, and best of luck!
The training you go to will be location based. My hub does all the training in house, you pass the class, you go to the DMV to print your CDL. Other places will send you out for training that they will pay for. You absolutely do not have to have a CDL already as we usually hire from within and a vast majority of hub workers don’t have a CDL already. Good luck.Had the very same question, Mike.

In feeders you get as much OT as you want.
