Package car driver position

[KearsargeCoop]

I'm surprised they're hiring anyone right now...seasonal driver, possibly?

They actually said one reason you didn't pass was going a bit under speed limit? Which means going exactly the speed limit or would they prefer over? Some people like to point out that it's the speed LIMIT even though most people treat it as the baseline. Better set cruise control next time!

I thought the same thing. Drivers are laid off all across the country.

We are a 30 driver center, with two laid off and a handful every day working preload...and they told us to hire 5 seasonal vacation covers. Wtf!?

If you do this do not try to go thru a sonic drive thru

I've gotta 2nd @542thruNthru on this one. The road test back when I took it was a Friday afternoon 5 minute drive around the block. Back up 10ft. and park on a hill...done. Granted the package car had power nothing, no backup camera and was a stick compared to these easy to drive package cars today. I hadn't ever really driven a stick prior to that, and didn't much worry about it knowing the test was easy. I ground the gears a few times during my ride and was on the road the following Monday. Here's the keys, here's a map, there's your package car for the day kid...go! But there's absolutely no question that they're harder on these kids today. Towards the end of my UPS days, I saw plenty of potential drivers washed out for not reciting the depth of knowledge questions word for word. Hell, I never learned that crap and drove 30yrs accident free.

I retired 10 plus years ago and was glad to leave. If you can recite the 5 seeing habits (and do them) that should have been enough. Nooooooooo we want you to now remember what amounts to being a small book .

They told me 34 years ago, “we don’t expect you to speed, but we expect you to drive the limit”.

And immediately, in your head you were like:

... Needless to say I didn’t even come close to passing the road test.... Unfortunately this time I didn’t pass because of driving a bit below the speed limit and during the backing portion... I came close to hitting a trailer. ...

You Asian?

You Asian?

Nope.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

If they've disqualified you twice on the supe ride along, odds are good they just don't want you as a driver.

This is the answer.

If you look at his post history, you'll see why that probably is the case.

 

[Wally]

Nope.

You identify with the Asian driving stereotype?

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

Nope.

Well I've never heard of your tong, and if you're trying to make moves on my turf, you're gonna get diced, you get me???

False. This was years ago and has no relevance to anything.

This was a few months back around January.
