    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? The golf cart is stored in a shipping container, and unloading it and the little trailer isn't bad. What is bad though... is driving it back in. There is no ramp, so you have to...

    Possibility of becoming permanent?

    Hi all, I recently started as what I think to be a peak hire as a preloader. I want to become a permanent hire but I was curious, how many peak hires do they keep?

    So I interviewed for seasonal package driver at Norwalk CT, and have a road test scheduled next week, which I'm good with. Near the end of the interview the HR rep says to me, oh and you have to do 5 days of training in Hartford. That's like a 2 1/2 hour drive. I thought traveling long distances...

    Seasonal Package Delivery Driver

    Hi all, I have an interview on Friday for a seasonal package delivery driver job. When I booked the appointment, the confirmation stated "casual attire." What does that constitute for this position? Since it is a labor-intensive job, are jeans and a collared shirt OK? I don't want to be...

    Package Handler -> Driver Helper

    Back again, I have yet to see this covered in the forums, and I've been itching to ask it. I know UPS hires seasonal driver helpers off the street, but can a current PH opt to be a driver helper during the peak season? Or do they only offer it to off the street hires so they don't have to...

    Driver/Driver teams

    Any other center doing this? Starting this week instead of using off the street/hub workers we are using drivers as helpers. For me it's the best thing ever. He not only knows the DIAD unlike most helpers, buy also knows my route. So we can destroy a bricked out truck like it's a 9.5...
