Any Louisiana drivers?

[Futuredriver(maybe)]

Hey guys, outsider looking in here.
Anyone here from Louisiana work as a package car driver? I’m near Baton Rouge.

I’m looking to get a job “off the street” as a driver, but I wanted to see how difficult it is. Do you have to work part time for a while, work in package sorting or something like that?

I’m 30 now and I have a family, so is this something manageable or too far gone to get into at my age. I currently have a full time job, just looking for a complete career change.

Thanks a lot guys!

You would probably have to work part time for a while, at least at my center. you would have to work preload.

What center do you work at if you don’t mind me asking?

I’d like to try and see if I could squeeze in some part time work, if it means a future driving job then it’s worth the extra time it may take. Thanks for your reply!

Try for Twilight. I met more drivers from that shift than Sunrise (1)

Very few of our drivers come from inside the building anymore

So you guys are saying there’s a chance.

For sure. The chance is slimmer than if you were an existing employee, but there's absolutely a chance.

Give it a shot and apply. Worst that could happen is you don't get the job, in which case you'd still be exactly where you are right now. Hell, even if someone tells you there's no chance in hell they'd take an off-the-street hire for a driving spot, I'd still tell you to apply. Just don't bank on it, you know? Fill out the application, and then find other jobs and applications to keep filling out. It's definitely not a sure thing.

Oh believe me when the position is posted I will apply. And I found out that my local hub is relatively small so idk if that hurts or helps my chances

How do you eat a crawfish?

 

[trickpony1]

...with your fingers?

How do you eat a crawfish?

Pinch the top in one hand the the bottom in the other, peel back the skin (shell) of the tail, eat the meat. The yellow stuff is their poop tract (and it’s full of flavor) Eat that too, then suck the heads when you finish (also full of flavor)

Depends on the area, they’re hiring off the street in some areas.
