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.

They are absolutely anal about the 5's and 10's now. Last year I was like ":censored2: me I been driving an amazon step van for 2 years you want another seasonal slave or not?"

"Aim high up my :censored2: and get the big picture of these nuts."

I’ve worked for UPS for the last 8 years and almost quit a few times. But I stuck it out and decided to pursue a driver position. They scheduled me for a road test about a year ago without an online class or understanding how to drive a package car. Needless to say I didn’t even come close to passing the road test. Recently after a year I was offered a full time position for a package car driver. This time I was required to take an online class, obtain a friend endorsement license, and a DOT physical. After completing all of these requirements, I was scheduled for another road test. With the experience from the first road test, combined with the online class training I did a lot better this time. 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. But overall the guy said I was better at centering the truck than most the other people he rode with. I guess my question is when would I be able to take another road test and when is UPS usually taking on more drivers?
