[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 415918, member: 4653"] If you are a seasonal driver your job will be very easy. You might not think so, but compared with permanent jobs yours will be a walk it the park. At first a supervisor will go with you for 3-5 days. You will be given something like an industrial route on one or two streets with around 30-50 stops so you can't get lost. Or you may get a route created just for peak. It would be a main street with many businesses and then a small area of residential stops. This type of route would give you 100 or so stops, a piece of cake once you learn the area. It comes down to this: if you can do the job of a UPS driver the route you are given as a "temp" will become very easy to you after 2 weeks. They aren't expecting much from you, so I wouldn't worry. You will be dispatched with about 6 hours worth of work because they have zero faith in new-hires (I think part of this comes from the fact that they make the job too difficult to begin with?). If you have what it takes you will have a nice easy job as a "temp". Management will probably realize that you "get it" and load you up, but thats another story, LOL. Good luck this X-mas!
