This gets posted 20 times a week . I'm sure if you typed air driver in search you would find 10 years of this questioned asked

Basically its PT. There is AM and PM Air driving. AM does early delivery of NDA boxes while PM usually drives the NDA to the airport. Sometimes you'll close out drop boxes too. Some people work Tues-Sat as there is Saturday delivery.

Pretty easy. You drive a PC. So it's good practice handing the car and using the diad if you ever want to go FT driving.

Our AM air drivers deliver specific tight areas like some bigger office complexes or they help out bid route drivers with air or help.
Our PM air drivers go retrieve air from drop boxes or bigger shippers who request later air pickups and then take to airport.
Both jobs are generally pretty easy.

They did away with these jobs in some buildings, have the fulltime drivers covering everything.

It's a great position maybe the easiest job at UPs. I am a PM driver in December I'll be making my top rate :-). Also been with UPS 3 years almost 2yrs has a PM driver. Don't Tnk I'll ever go full time and when ever I deliver a ground I get a pay rate of $34.42 for the whole day :-). But be careful they will send u to deliver a ground and dry to cover it up and not pay you. But it's a great position and very very hard to get.

HR wanted to know if you wanted the job?

Why would you sign for the position if you have no idea what it consists of doing and what times you'll be working??

And 3 months later, still wondering if they took the job ( kind of a no brainer IF you don't mind early mornings and the very real possibility of running a full route from time to time).

PM air is by far the easiest gig you can get. At least where I am. AM can be a little high pressure if you're typically tight on time between Early AM and Next Day Air commits.

Taking either to get out of your inside sort is the best part.

i was a seasonal driver this past December and I was told I can be hired permanent PT Air bud driver. My UPS status shows active but HR did not call me yet for my start date. I asked HR when I went for interview and road test If this was definite and was told YES but still no phone call almost a week now. Should I worry ?
