I went through their speil at ups in earth city (st.louis) when I got layed off at holland. almost all of there feeders are part time and they work from about march till august and then they are layed off and called back for the nov- dec christmass rush. They pay like you said 8.50 an hour with no benefits. I live about a 120 miles from there, and they want you to be on call 24 hours a day and live within an hour of the terminal ,I think it is a joke. they just use these drivers for their own benefit, and the drivers think they have their foot in the door when actually they are just being used. If you are one of these drivers you better not pi$$ anyone off or they will never call you back after the seasonal layoff. You have to real be a a$$ kisser with that job.Its really sorry that they do people like that I heard their are part timers there that have been waiting 7 or 8 years for a full time position.and dont even think about haveing an accident while your there or you will never have a job with them.so dont be fooled when you see alot of those drivers out there wearing that brown uniform just remember that alot of them are only making a little more than minimuim wage.
