[QUOTE="UncleYunqi, post: 5024088, member: 92447"] Hi. I applied online for a part-time Package Handler position. Hours 5am - 10am, Monday-Friday. I was offered the job online and am supposed to start 10/18. I assume UPS goes through a lot of Package Handlers because I didn't even have a phone interview, let alone meet in-person. Either way - [B]What are the chances of someone working more than 25 hours per week as a Package Handler? Could a Package Handler also work as a Truck Helper in the afternoon? What are the chances of becoming a Driver after the holiday season?[/B] I've read online and was told by UPS drivers that they started as Package Handlers, worked in the warehouse for x years and eventually became drivers. It seemed like they paid their dues. However, I've seen ads recently advertising driver jobs. Either UPS needs drivers or the usual path has been changed. For what it is worth, I'm a small 52 year old male who works as a CCA for the USPS. When I was applying to the USPS, a UPS driver told me I wouldn't be able to hack it with UPS because of the physical aspects of the job and that USPS would be better for me. The USPS is easy, but I'm not working much. Beyond that, while delivering the mail, I met a UPS driver who looked older than me and as if he was straining. He said something about it UPS was supposed to be a part-time job for him, but he was working alot. My concerns are if being a Package Handler for a few months will help me become a Driver within 6 months? If not, it might not be worth it. Assuming I could become a Driver in 6 months or so, could I handle it. Thanks for any information/opinions. [/QUOTE]
