[QUOTE="J92, post: 3070868, member: 68025"] I was never a driver but I can tell you what I heard. You should aim to get your DOT done (do your 30) since it will give you something to leverage on top of you waiting in line. As far as pension goes, I think they are going away or being limited rapidly. From what I heard from other drivers, they enjoy working outdoors and delivering packages unless the customer is a pain. I'm sure it gets stressful during peak. Aside from driving, usually extra hours are given by seniority so you should get plenty of sleep unless mandatory requirement. As far as being too old, I don't think so but I would have a game plan as to moving up on the wait list. Maybe try a different center/location, get experienced doing car wash, mechanic work, or something that puts you in driving the package car, etc. Time-frame depends on your performance and you letting the right people know your interested. Don't just reach out to your preload sup., it will get you nowhere. Get a hold of a center manager and ask him where he or she needs help (which center) with drivers and what you need to do to get the job. [/QUOTE]
