Timing is everything for an off the street hire. I worked as a helper 1st peak and made sure I learned the DIAD, then as a driver 2nd peak. 4am to the airport, drove 13 hrs., then ran for another driver til 8pm. Hardest 17 days of my life and for $11.24/hr. When asked about a 3rd peak I said no way you either hire me FT or this was it....I got 3 letters of recommendation from sups at 2 different centers and beat out a PT sup for the off the street hire. That was 9 years ago. UPS preaches the big picture....doesn't matter what the pay is now, the payoff is getting the FT job. Lastly, you should park that AARP attitude at the door. Most drivers are older than 37.
