and what is the job title of the package helpers, the guys that ride alongside the drivers and help deliver packages. how can i become one of them, is it the same process. also i have another part time job, would it be possible to only work three days instead of all five as an assistant to a driver?
They are called driver helpers but are also known as jumpers. Generally you must be available 5 days a week, especially after Dec. 1st or thereabouts, but each center is different and they may be able (and willing) to accomodate your schedule. I do know that in my center they would not and, as a driver, I prefer having the same helper throughout Peak.
