I read on RST UPS facebook page that one retired UPS captain has a car rental business and it is very affordable to rent from them, but can't find the post anymore.
He’s not retired. He’s a 75/76 Domestic Captain. Awesome guy. Highly recommend

- get a copy of limitations and memory items and learn cold
- get a copy of master question bank and start working on it
What I recommend (to people I know) to do before class:
- sign up to all major airline and hotel chain awards memberships
- consider getting a high end CC, something like chase sapphire or Amex plat
- apply pay is handy overseas
- apple card good too - can instantly get new card number if you have fraud issue.
- Charles Schwab checking account = no intl ATM fees.
- get a good password app - you’ll get a ton of logins from UPS
- have 401K info ready to go for rollover
- consider how to fully fund 401K during year 1
- square up finances - it’s 13 months of tiny paychecks.
- Is your passport close to expiring? Ideally you’ll want to show up with a newer PP especially if on an international fleet.
- if going intl, consider intl cell phone and data options. T-Mobile is popular. Pokefi an option too.
- Headset: if you’re a commuter you’ll probably want something like the Bose QC with uflymike option so you can use the headset during commute.
- intl? Get a currency wallet or two. Baglini makes a good one.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
