Just make sure you don't get stuck with some "A" hole captain who will not take you. just heard today that very recently an ANC based UPS pilot was denied a ride RFD to ANC because the captain did not want a full 767 for the flight up to ANC. The jump-seater barely made it via another way.....
We have several captains who just don't get "it."

I used to commute regularly on UPS from DFW to SJU. Those guys/gals are friggin fantastic! There is more than enough accomadations for sleeping, computering, and eating in the Ops building. Depending on where you are going from/to....you will only have 4-6 hrs at the most in SDF. The flight from DFW got in around 1230ish and I took off for SJU at 0430ish. If my feable memory serves me correctly
They put a crew meal on board for you as a jumpseater.....you can't even get a smile out of a AA, UA, DA, WN, etc employee.....more less a crew meal. UPS was a dream to commute on.
As for the getting back and forth....I was fortunate to have the wife drop off/pick up in DFW and the Eagle or UPS Ramp Sups would pick me up in SJU.
Good Luck!

Absolutely no alcohol and they do an embarrassing bag search, sorry.
Find the crew in ops in SDF and stick with them , they tail swap a fair amount. Ask the ladies in ops window where the crews get their paperwork to ID the flight crew for you or look at the monitor for the Captains name and ask .
Enjoy and glad to have you on board.

I saw that post. I think it was the ONT catering gods creating local rules again ... whenever they can get away with it.
