be prepared to work your can off. I was a driver helper coordinator in illinois, and let me tell you this, we're gonna work you like a dog. Depending on the area you are in, you will be a 100 bonus. Otherwise, you'll make more per hour and not get a bonus. It depends on which union you'll be in, and yes, you're in the union as a driver helper...you pay the dues like the other teamsters do. The helper coordinator will call you every day, and if you don't work, we may not call you again. So be by the phone in the morning, and when we call you, be ready. if you don't work one day, say goodbye to your bonus, because that's only for the folks who work every day we call them. UPS will hire anyone who applies for the job. I felt sorry for the people who weren't in very good physical shape, because those are the ones the driver doesn't want coming back. I actually heard drivers complain about how old someone was or how slow they were, and they would come to me and say don't ever put that person with me again. yep, you're gonna be physically sore, and you'll probably regret it if you get a pissy driver. Good luck you're gonna need it !
