Building time for vacation and vacation selection are two independent subjects. Vacation selection is done by seniority and you have none. Also, at least here, Thanksgiving is a coveted week, so I wouldn't expect you to be able to secure that for quite some time.
To put it in perspective, it took me 30 years, before I could choose a Thanksgiving week vacation.

When you have at least 20-25 years in.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.
You'll get thursday off and you will have to wait a few years before you can get vacation for that time. Hell I've been here 13 years and couldn't get off in sept oct or nov.

That’s Craptacular
After a year, you get a week's vacation but your choices of weeks off will be.limited. That is, of course, unless you are seasonal (since you were just hired),,, in which case you will not be here long enough to earn anything.

i couldve gotten thanksgiving week this year...but friend that, I want 5 extra days off that I wouldn't have off already.
Yeah, but that would be a nice vacation check, with the two extra days pay lol. Now that I'm in Feeders I'll never see that week off before I retire, but it's a sweet trade off. Easier work and air conditioning is better than a certain week of vacation.
Lucky you! I passed on it this year, due to my wife giving birth I took vacation when she was due, but I've been driving 6 years and this was my first real shot at it.

You're entitled to vacation pay after one year of employment. The number of weeks is addressed in your regional or local contract supplement. In mine, we're entitled to one week after one year of employment and two weeks after two years. If you were hired permanently in October, next year you will be entitled to a week off that occurs AFTER your seniority date but through the week of Thanksgiving (we cannot take time off thereafter). Vacations are selected by seniority, so you may not have much to select from.
Among PTers, the week of Thanksgiving is historically NOT popular as we're given two days off (Thanksgiving and the day after). This year UPS is mandating that most of us work the day after, so that may change next year.

And for thanksgiving, does UPS give us that day off and the next?
The day after,Is a paid day (as long as you worked here a year) It used to be an air only day. Now its ground too.
