    Driving the Golf Cart - Seasonal driver helper

    I did my 4th day today as a driver helper. I did the route by myself on the golf cart. Let me ask you all something?

    What’s the rudest message you’ve ever received on the DIAD?

    received one on Saturday. “You’ve only delivered 30 stops. You’re NOT NEW ANYMORE!” This was my 3rd Saturday on this blind route. So I drove around angry for the next 7 hours. That’s safe!

    Does anybody working for UPS CSI know the top rate for drivers in the central region? I'm under the impression it's the same progression scale as the normal brown package car drivers but I'm not entirely sure. Any info is appreciated.

    pt seniority question

    My center hired 15 "seasonal preloaders" we will all go ft/pt September 1st. At this point there is not any body ahead of us on the list to become a ft driver due to so many retirements, none of the preloaders wanting to be a driver and license/age issues. So my question is; how will it be...
