actually my friend who has worked their loading trucks for 3yrs is just becoming a driver. hes in the course right now. you gotta be 21. but he heard there was gonna be a drug test.. but there wast. only a physical... they did get a urine sample, but only to test for diabetes or some shit... they even said to him it wast a drug test.... so actually they almost never drug test.. unless you get hurt and try to get workmans comp. or you got a bitch regional manager or supervisor

I work for UPS, and have for 5 years at a pretty big airport hub.
I've never been drug tested, or asked to take a drug test. ever.
If your driving, you will. But not otherwise, unless you have an accident. if I was to crash a belt-loader into an Airbus, I'm sure they'd test me. But everyone there smokes dope, and quite a few of them are on other drugs too. UPS doesnt give a fuck.
As for the job itself, great benefits, great pay, tuition reimbursemnt. awesome job.

Can't be worse than my last job laminating plywood...in the summer the temperature of my work area would approach 120 degrees farenheit while carrying around large sheets of plywood, MDF, and partical board.
fucking nor-board, I hope I never see any of that shit again.

well youll be working in a trailer cab.. which is outside... you know how hot the inside of a trailer gets when the sun has been beating down on it all day? at least 110-120.. so youll pretty much be doing the same thing as your last job.. except moving boxes instead of plywood

I worked at UPS for about a year. If they do want you to take a drug test(which they only do if they actually see you getting high, in my experience) go to your union guy, even if your not in the union and he can get you out of it.

I applied there before.. I don't think they were really hiring at the time though.. never got any calls. I was gonna do something package handling related.
