Emergency Alert System. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national warning system in the United States put into place on January 1, 1997 (approved by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in November 1994), when it replaced the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), which in turn replaced the CONELRAD System.
UPS Freight is hiring individuals to work as Full-Time Mechanics. This position involves the maintenance and repair of tractors and trailers. Fleet and diesel engine experience is highly desired. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, and must be able to read, write and speak the English language.
Pensions are also generous; drivers retiring after 25 years get up to $30,000 a year. High pay and deep-pocket perks are largely why UPS drivers average 16.2 years on the job, four times longer than the typical American worker. They're mostly why turnover is 1.8% a year. And they're why UPS ranks are swelling with white-collar workers embarking on new careers and an increasingly educated workforce.
