[QUOTE="JakeD, post: 1071161, member: 44836"] It seems like many things in UPS depend on the area. The group of drivers in my area that eat lunch together daily all had the same helper each day. My driver had a helper one day before he probably told them to try someone else (me) because the guy was so big he could hardly get the seatbelt on and walking to and from a house had him gassed. Another kid filled in for another driver helper one day and he was slower than the fairly large driver so i'm guessing he wasn't asked back. Who knows.. maybe the driver had a helper they liked and they were out one day but then they came back. only person that knows is the driver or helper coordinator. He should not get discouraged by a very short seasonal job that didn't work out. If he is good at loading/unloading there are plenty of places he could work part time or even full time.. every large retail store has unloaders or stockers (walmart.. target etc) I do think we were explained that it was an on call and not guaranteed job. Our orientation "teacher" said bust your ass and make a good impression and the driver will want to keep you on their car. [/QUOTE]
