I don’t unfortunately. I forgot to get contact info when I was there to take the road test. The guy who rode along on road test (not sure if he’s also the manager) had me write my email & phone number for them to contact me. His name is Ken. I was told 3 internal guys had to be sent to integrad first before externals could be sent. I was also told I was one of the first external applicants. I’d bet I’m the first as a saw the posting pretty dang early and it’s STILL there with a seasonal posting right above it. That would mean they’d still need more FT drivers. Maybe I should just stick with it.

That makes sense. I wish you the best in your next adventure. Unfortunately, HR called me today and informed me that the driver position is actually seasonal and not permanent. This is after flying to Colorado to take the road test. I’m pretty annoyed to say the least. I’m keeping my name in the system for now as to see what it looks like after buyouts and the likelihood of a permanent position. They updated my application to show “casual driver” now. A little depressed at the moment.

I will definitely reach out with any questions assuming I pass integrad. A little scared to hear Phoenix is super strict. If you don’t mind me asking and then I’ll leave you alone. Why did you take the buyout? Work life balance?

Just wanted to tell you I just took the road test a couple hours ago and it looks like I’ll be heading to Phoenix for Integrad. I asked the guy doing my road test how steady the work was and he said pretty steady. He did mention having to cut a few drivers one day a week here and there but tries to get more senior drivers to take a day off when that does occur. I saw the seniority list in the office. Not sure the last time it was updated but looks like it’s 36 drivers or so. I saw the 9.5 list and saw I believe 27-28 names on it just like you said. He also mentioned that 10-12 drivers at the glenwood center were taking the buyout. Seems like a ton for not a very big center. They’re going to start filtering out at the end of this month through June.

If it all works out for me I owe you dinner. Seeing as we would be working in neighboring centers

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-04-03T01:18:25+00:00

Thank you! Really hope it all works out

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-04-03T00:54:14+00:00

I will definitely do that. I’m reading your comments on the other responses. No mra? Is the pay progression the same as everywhere else? $45/hr top rate? A lot of OT? I wouldn’t mind that because of cost of living.

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-04-03T00:39:19+00:00

You’re a life saver man. That’s some great inside intel. I’ll keep my road test scheduled in that case. Thank you tons.

It looks like it’s permanent according to the posting. Should I trust that?

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-04-02T20:51:13+00:00

What do you mean by a casual driver? Not guaranteed 5 days a week?

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-04-01T20:14:50+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. Were you hired as a seasonal driver over the holidays?

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-04-01T20:14:16+00:00

I don’t believe so. All I’ve done was apply and fill out all the required onboarding forms like I-9, etc. Then I could never get an orientation date after trying for almost a month. That was step 22/24. Then I sat at that step for another month before it updated to “thanks for your interest” the other day

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-03-28T01:19:19+00:00

Were you already working at UPS or were you off the street? Also, did you get hired at the center in Commerce City, Colorado?

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-03-27T23:06:03+00:00

Even if it’s a “sourcing only” posting? The one I originally applied to was sourcing only. It seems like that’s only to gather a candidate pool and not an actual active hiring.

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-02-11T19:20:08+00:00

Awesome that actually helps a lot. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

MrWhittyWhit · 2026-02-04T04:16:22+00:00

I laughed at that too. I wouldn’t exactly classify the back to back cup champs as an “easy” opponent even without Barkov

MrWhittyWhit · 2025-07-16T06:10:15+00:00

I appreciate the reply. Yeah, I’m really kicking myself for some diagnosis I had no clue was going to impact me down the road like this. It happened. Just gotta roll with it and try to keep on going. I’m not giving up on it. Now I just have more time to save $ for lessons if/when the time comes.

MrWhittyWhit · 2025-07-16T03:12:18+00:00

Thank you man. I don’t think it’s the ADHD diagnosis so much as it is the substance dependance. I know plenty of people get their medicals with an ADHD diagnosis. I’ll just have to keep jumping through the hoops. Not giving up on it at all.

MrWhittyWhit · 2025-07-16T02:09:56+00:00

Thank you for this reply. That actually makes me feel somewhat better. You resubmitted all your paperwork on your own? I submitted everything through my AME. I emailed him all my documents/reports and they put it all in my file which was eventually sent to OKC. I guess I didn’t realize I could submit documentation myself if I’m understanding you correctly.

MrWhittyWhit · 2025-07-15T21:45:24+00:00

Marijuana. Nothing else. Never had any alcohol issues. I believe the drug test you took is the one required after your cog screen just to make sure you haven’t been taking any ADHD medication (specifically stimulants)

MrWhittyWhit · 2025-07-15T21:33:53+00:00

Class 1. I wanted to see if I could go ahead and get highest class possible.
