I've seen several posts like this one. You must wait your turn like everybody else has done. Your seniority determines when that turn comes. Ups expects 100% every minute you are there and you might be the most fabulous preloader in the history of the business but won't help you get into to a driving position any sooner. Is somebody telling you that you will be promoted to a driving position according to your work performance? I understand your frustration its seniority and seniority is the only fair way to promote and I think many will agree with me. That way favoritism is eliminated. Just keep doing what your doing my brother/sister and let time do the rest. As for me it was 8 years of part time. That doesn't mean that it will be that long for you. If you get burned out on what you are doing then change sorts for a while. Try doing different jobs if they will let you. Your time will come. Best of luck and hang in there.

If at a union building your only option is outliving seniority coworkers. Having more experience or skill does not matter because Unions only believe in mediocrity.

The word you're looking for is fairness, not mediocrity.

After reading three pages of the word "no" I decided to just post.
Have you even signed the list to go out driving?!? You say you see others that go out and come back. It almost seems like your waiting for them to come and ask you to drive. That's not the way it works. You need to sign the driver list. UPS is not promotion by back patting, it's promotion by seniority and interest. You control your destiny, not UPS.

I have done deliveries out in a few neighborhoods with a golf cart and a little trailer full of packages. I've had to hustle through rain/snow and wind...boxes were flying and the tarp wouldn't prevent all of them from being soaked.
I couldn't imagine the struggle a driver goes through, but at least they have a big protected truck to deliver in.
I'm looking forward to the challenges as a driver.
This thread has been much more positive and helpful than my previous posts.
Hahaha!

Then you were a helper, not a driver. Sign the list to be a driver if that's what you want to do. Stop screwing around or people will pass you.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Which is why they hired you I assume?

This is a warehouse:
You do not work in one. You work in a building, or you can call it a center if you'd like.
This is where the thread should have ended.
Nuff said.

Ask not what brown can do for you but what you can do for brown?
Driver is by seniority. Sign the bid sheet. I dont even know why you think you wont get your shot.

WOW!!! Either a very bitter, uninformed union employee or...... A typical manager/supervisor?!?!
A bully-seniority system........ as opposed to a suck -butt , we're great buddies, let me have that job over him even though he works as hard as me and has been here longer but I'm better buds with you, system. Sounds perfectly fair to me. WTF!?!?
One more thing about seniority. Without seniority, you have no union, without the union, you don't have that excellent pay and top tier benefits, no excellent pay and bennies, all the sudden the job you want without waiting your turn in seniority order is no longer a job you want. Vicious cycle isn't it?
