What's it take to become a Delivery Driver?

[uRabbit]

Hi all. I hope this is not a redundant question. I searched and did not find what I was looking for.

I am trying to look into what it takes to become a UPS Package Delivery Driver. I know the requirements, but what about work history requirements? Plenty of people meet the basic requirements of the position, but I am sure it is not an easy one to get.

I have experience in customer service in their homes (carpet cleaning, apartment maintenance) as well as delivery experience (auto parts). I am 24 with a wife and a daughter, so I want to get into something I can retire from. Apartment maintenance (current) is not exactly it, but I want to stick with it for the experience, until I can get into something more rewarding.

Thank you!

As far as I know, it's almost impossible in the US to become an instant driver.
Part-timers that un- and preload are on the waiting list for years, and they come first in line.

Strong back and a weak mind helps.
