Skywalker brought up one point that, IMHO, DOES merit further thought and consideration.

While I undoubtedly believe that CFI is a very fine company, you really should think hard before you make a decision to leave Buster Brown.

Now, based upon everything that I've ever heard or read about UPS, they operate withing a very tightly regimented framework, to the point of what, for me, would make the term "Micro-managed" seem liberating.

I simply do not operate or function well in that type of environment; rather doubt that I'd last 60 days there.

At the same time, when you consider their performance as a company, they must be doing something right. Consequently, even though Buster Brown wouldn't be a good match for me, it does appear that for all they demand from their people, and I'm sure that while considerable credit goes to their union, they do offer a lot in return.

I would strongly suggest that before you make any major decision such as this one, you take a very honest personal inventory of yourself, and your motives for making a change like this.

Once again, I do wish you the very best.

I think about it everytime I think of a different job. I am applying to work for my city tommorow. Right now I only get 4 hours a day in at brown. If I get on the city I should work both jobs with no conflict. Not sure how long it would take for me to get to driving, time will have to take its course on that decision. For now I just want to fill my self in on what I would be getting into OTR. I have seen so many $$$ signs when the word feeder driver is mention in UPS, also I here they train you for free. That is one of the main reasons i am motivated to stay for the long hall, time does pays off.

Thanks again for advice, I am trying to soak up as much info before I jump into the pool.
