[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 3047177, member: 67762"] Our hub has been hiring off the street drivers for months now, I believe it's because of the new Amazon warehouse. I was hired off the street and leaving a 15 year job to be a full time permanent package car driver. There is a ton of risk for me in doing this. I have 3 young kids and my wife stays home. I am a really hard worker and I will not give up. I'm typically a really likeable guy and get along with most people. The HR guy offered me the job on the spot. I was the only guy who showed up in that interview time slot with a suit and tie. I have my uniform and report Tuesday for training. I literally have all the DOK and commentary memorized. Reading these threads, there seems to be major inconsistency in how new drivers are trained. I've read the new hire thread but it's all back and forth random questions and unrelated commentary. Could somebody tell me what the actual 30 day packet process is? Do they drive around with you after the first week? The biggest concern I have is reading these forums its hard to come across legit info. So many responses are sarcastic one liners, and there appears to be a high risk of just being let go and that they have pretty much look for any reason to let you go before your 30 days. All I read is management is evil and constantly telling at you. I would love to hear from people as to how forgiving they really are. If I don't memorize an entire city layout in a couple weeks are they going to fire me? Are they going to keep throwing me out on different routes every day? I have had really bad anxiety with this new job change and I am doing everything I can to be the best I can be. Can anybody point me to a good thread that has a easy layout of FAQ for new package car drivers? I would love to hear from people who have been recently hired and if they had a good experience with their training and supervisors. Thanks [/QUOTE]
