How to become a driver - Brown Cafe

Stavemist316 · 10-17-2009, 03:00 PM

Hey guys. I've been working at UPS as an unloader since July. I would like to know what I have to do to get on the waitlist to become a delivery driver. I talked to the human resources department back in July and they told me the wait time is about 4 or 5 years. I would just like to know how to get on the list?

Also, what are some other part time positions other than unloading, loading, and sorting? And how would I go about moving to different part time positions?

Thanks everyone.

They usually put a list up after the 1st of the year for people to sign to become a full time driver. SIGN IT The list is only up for a couple of weeks. You have to sign the list every year.

As for other PT postion you have unloaders, loaders, scanners, and sorters on each shift.

In our center when they need a new driver they place a bid sheet up where any union employee can sign it.

The union employee with the highest seniority gets the job.

Expect to unload/load or sort for years before you can get a cakewalk job like clerk/carwash/fueler/international/customer counter.

Stave, bidding on jobs goes by seniority. Check your Regional Supplement for the details. . .

In our building most don't make it past the sign up up sheet (oh I forgot I had a DUI and so on). If you want the job keep on it.

They only check your driving record for the past three years.
