UPS likes all types of backgrounds. Who knows, they might like your background for whatever reason. They have in the recent past. Am sure you are qualified. Though it doesn't occur often, they hire people without 4 year degrees and no inside recommendations as well. These people gave it a shot. and were successful. Getting my UPS job for all my complaints was like getting a winning lottery ticket. It is a crapshoot in many ways, but may pay off. One chance in a million is better than Zero chance in a million <g>
You will need an FE written. As you said though, easy enough to get one. The hardest part at UPS now is there incredulously stupid computer program that appears to allow only a few (said to be 100) online applications at a time to be processed. Many posts on this in the cargo forum.
Good luck with your future!
