Package car driver position

[Red Devil]

I don’t remember “driving a little under the speed limit” or coming “close to a trailer” being demerits on the road test.

His management is playing games and we know why. They ain’t hiring drivers right now. They got drivers laid off, sitting at home right now.

They can tell if you’re afraid of the truck though when you take it for a spin and that’s not what they want to see

We're short about 4-6 drivers, and they won't let our manager hire any. We borrowed 3 drivers from nearby centers today alone.

This is going to be a fantastic peak....

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 .

Pretty much a simple ride with a p1000 thru a congested city with a supe, then backing test at bldg. That and the 5 seeing habits, distance keeping and clean mirror, dirty mirror, stale green light etc. Most while delivering with a supe.

Seriously---------why do they even have managers now?----they don't appear to have any say in daily operations.

And when they do make decisions they're counter productive...

Just had a ride with a long tenured one the other day. He actually showed me a lot.

I could tell he was really good at his job. I was grateful for it at the end of the day..

I did think of this but I would have nowhere to store it as I live in an apartment complex. Only parts I struggled on are going 35-37 in 40 speed zone and backing.

Only way to get this is spend more time behind the wheel. Some great suggestions on here, ask center manager if you can drive one around the yard, not just once, at least a few times per week, also maybe try Amazon they hire anyone. You’ll get it man.

Don't be fooled---he is not your buddy. He will crap on you at the drop of a hat.

Didn't say that. Just said I appreciated the ride and gained some knowledge.

Was actually my first sup ride... My first year was the 2020 covid year when they stopped doing it.

You are young Grasshopper---in time you will learn the evil ways of UPS management.

when I first started they actually gave you the option to do that a week or 2 before the road test.

Weird. Last time I checked we had 4 - 6 guys bumped back to loading. I don’t get it but it’s above my pay grade.
