    How does one go about finding UPS feeder locations in order to apply (either now or after working my way up the ladder) for driving a tractor trailer? The UPS website itself just seems to list customer locations. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to know of all the locations that are closest to southern Indiana. The only one I know of so far is in Indy.

    Yeah, I saw that, but doesn't that only list jobs that are current while all the other locations (that don't have current job openings) are not listed?

    think i found what you are looking for. http://www.ups.com/dropoff?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PriNav
    just fill in your city, state, and zip. should only have the ups customer center box checked. you should find where the smaller hubs are at. hope thats what your looking for.

    UPS doesnt hire feeder drivers full time to start, only temporary. You pretty much have to start out scanning boxes and working your way up.
     
    Boonie Thanks this.

    He's correct, you best bet is to try to get on for Christmas Rush, I did that one year and had to apply through state job service to get in there. I talked with a few of the guys doing what I was doing and they'd been doing it for several years and were still waiting to get on full time.

    I'm looking for all the UPS Package terminals that have tractor-trailer drivers employed there. That way, I'll know if it would be worth it for me to stick it out with the package side knowing that there is a package terminal close by that either has or would have TTs to drive eventually. Or, do all the package terminals have TTs?

    I was told that in April I could apply for the seasonal package car driver position and do that for a few years to work my way up the ladder if I wanted to eventually drive the TTs. I don't know if it would be worth it or not, though, especially considering that once hired with the package side there would be no chance to get on with Freight. More and more I'm thinking I should go with Freight, but I just want to be 100% certain that would be the right choice after considering all the pros and cons.

    So, you're saying that if a person is fresh out of CDL school it is possible to get hired as a seasonal feeder driver right off the street?
