[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 1321025, member: 44554"] I did what you're interviewing for last holiday season, though never got to drive very much. Before that I worked two seasons as a driver's helper. Physically demanding? Yes, probably beyond what you imagine. You've got to be in very good shape and always be aware of how you're lifting and moving. Apparently, driving has become a lot less enjoyable over the last couple of years or so, probably because UPS watches every penny it must reluctantly spend to make its record profits. This means high production, which in turn translates into drivers being pushed by managers to make more deliveries. If you're hired, definitely try it and see if it's for you. Be sure you're good at driving a manual transmission. And when you take a driving test and they ask you to park on a hill, be sure to keep the emergency brake on until you feel the truck accelerating enough to move forward. If you slide backwards, you fail the test and can't take it again for one year. [/QUOTE]
