Saturday Air Driver

[BlackCoffee]

Being a jerk?!? You just said "I realize there will be different answers." His responses would give you different answers. Grow a pair and stop whining.

Yeah, OK. whatever you say.

The driving test should be fairly soon, like this week if the on road sups aren't doing very much. You have to keep on them. After that you will be on someone else's schedule. Who knows? Could be weeks. Your Center manager may have a much better idea of any upcoming classes.

Chances are, sometime between now and Mother's Day.

 

[Wally]

For sure you will be driving sometime around next February.

Patience grasshopper. I was called to go saturday air driving 18 years ago. Passed my road and written tests and got my browns. Nobody called. Days turned into weeks and then months and i bugged everybody i could from ups and the local. Finally caught up with the guy who ran it and he said i was the "first alternate" to be trained if needed. They didnt have another sign up list for 3 years and by then i was a combo.

....and my browns weren't even close to fitting me anymore.

I heard a co-worker may try to become a driver as well but he's worried because he doesn't drive standard transmission. Will UPS train/teach him?

 

[silenze]

Nope. Better learn on your own because the next guy will

Does you center still have manual transmission package cars?

 

[upssouth]

We have at least 10 manuals in my center. Countless building wide. Gotta be at least 100. Nothing like driving a 1991 international.

Maybe half the routes in my building still use manual transmission package cars. All of the spares are manual so you had better know how to drive a stick shift.

OK, I'll let him know.

 

[BlackCoffee]

Does you center still have manual transmission package cars?

Yes. If they didn't it would not make sense that everyone have to drive stick. Not trying to be a wise guy that's just the way I see it.

Then again most things UPS does does not make sense.

Only reason I asked is that used to be a requirement here as well but we no longer have any manual transmission vehicles nor do our training schools in both Albany and Syracuse.

Extended BOG.

Not real package car drivers.

Every driver should have to drive a old package car to qualify.

 

[bleedinbrown58]

I like barnyard...he's my favorite mod!

None of us here have any way of knowing that. The only one that MIGHT know is the supe that handles Sat drivers.

If you google, "magic 8 ball" that should be able to answer your questions as accurately as anyone here.

Learning to drive a stick,isn't that big of a deal. Its learning to drive all of those different trucks.
