I just recently went through the process. My job is ridiculously easy compared to the delivery drivers (I run air shuttles back and forth from the airport) so I won’t even pretend to comment on their day but if you’re in my area of Jersey get ready for a serious hiring process.
•Make absolutely sure you are presentable, clean shaven and business casual.
•Have no driving violations and make sure you can drive a manual transmission as you will be tested on a manual both as part of the interview road test and during driving school. Plus if your hub has manual cars then guess what.
Don’t expect to get a job and get out of driving school if you do not work hard and study. They ARE failing potential drivers, number one being they didn’t study their 5 Seeing Habits and 10 Point commentary and some because they plainly just couldn’t drive a manual package car and we’re let go on the spot. Guys failed and did not get a driving job with UPS.
Do not make the mistake of taking the hiring process lightly. I am former military and I was very impressed at how regimented and disciplined my instructor was and how demanding the training was. Like I said I can only comment on my experience and that was it. If you think you can drive, you’ll find out and fast.
Take it lightly and you won’t have a driving job. Also I hope you don’t have thin skin, get used to standing up in class and talking them through your DOK.
