It is completely different in each building. All you can do is look at the last few new drivers in your building as a rough estimate to how much time it may take you to become a driver. I know of centers that are hiring off the street and centers that it takes more than 5 years to get a driving job.

Thanks Rodster

Find out when you will be having drivers start to retire. Next through conversation find out how many package handlers want to go into driving; this will give you a better clue on where you stand in line for a steering wheel. Also don't get to discouraged if there is quite a few ahead of you, they may not have clean driving records!

It's now 4-5 years where I'm at. Good luck with the driving.

Some of the less senior people here tell me they look for oppurtunities....

...like a senior driver walking out into traffic while they're driving by.

Friends don't let friends cover drive, esp in Central Florida. Too hot, get a job in the A/C
