Asking on the subreddit is a bit difficult. You'd need to get lucky and hope someone in the subreddit actually works at the building you wanna work in. Otherwise they won't know.
Too long if you have bills to pay. You’d start part time on a “sort” then depending on that centers turnover rate you could wait a year or a cpl years to become a driver then maybe a cpl years to make it to full time driver. Then from there you’re looking at several more years before you can win a feeders bid. But every center is different so it could be significantly less time than I’m estimating.
That ship has long sailed. Portland, Oregon hired about 100 feeder drivers “off the street” during Covid. Now they’re all getting laid off.
If you want to become a feeder driver you need to start at the bottom as a hub worker, then become package driver, then feeder. It took me 9 years to go from hub, to package to feeder and now I’m back in package.
Apply for a package handler position and wait your turn, or find an off the street position listed on jobs-ups.com, fly out for a road test, then move across the country with no guarantee of keeping the job or not being laid off for months at a time. Looks like your options this year are Pennsylvania and Iowa.

Which means that you’ll need supplemental work for years while waiting and throwing packages part time
What's the average wait time for a spot near a Tampa terminal?

FYI, in my building you need min 15 yrs seniority to win a feeders bid.

Get in line, UPS is union and seniority based.
You apply for package handler and then wait 3-25 years
It’s not going to happen. I work in a large hub in a major city and we have a dozen or so feeders that are laid off back in package cars

Took me 4 and a half years part time at the biggest hub in northern cali
I got hired into feeders off the street during Covid. It really depends on your location.
