I’m hoping they’re doing the background check but I’m not sure they can do one with only a copy of my drivers license. Can’t remember if the application asked for the social security number or not, if it did then I guess they could be doing the background check.

Your response to my earlier question qualifies you to work there.

Do any of you guys know if they ask for ss# during interview if they plan on hiring you, or do they have it from my job application? I’ve applied for so many jobs lately that I can’t remember which jobs required that information during the application process. Thanks in advance

Peak hiring time is year long at my building. They will be getting back to you soon enough. Saw where new hire retention rate is 40% after 2 weeks at my building and for good reason. The job sucks for a new hire.

Heads up it took a couple weeks for me to get from interview to start date. And that’s a common theme from other posters as well, they seem to take their time around here... meanwhile building is short staffed lol. Good luck
Make your 30 days. Find the driver sign up sheet and put your name on it. Sign up for peak season driving. As long as you pass the driving test, you can sign up for exception air driving. Not a lot at my hub sign the exception air list. Although, you might only get to drive on weekends or if bid air driver is not in a day.

Would I need to start my first day on the job by October 15th to be considered a permanent hire or just be hired by the 15th. Some companies your actual hire date is before your 1st day on the job

My building can't afford to hire seasonals. Everyone is a permanent hire.

I’m just concerned that if I don’t get in by the 15th then I’ll be seasonal only and it’ll be to big of a risk to accept the position.

Getting hired is easy. Not quitting is hard.

Did you apply at a hub (where packages are sorted and loaded into trailers almost around the clock) or a delivery center where all they do is deliver and pick up packages locally? Opportunities at centers are limited.

I applied at a delivery center, I think it has about 50 routes

Do you really think a social security number is needed to do a background check? Your license contains more information than a simple SSN.

I did

Sounds like a really small one belt building. Your chances of going FT anytime soon are going to be limited. I work at a small hub with two centers, maybe 130 routes or more) and we are hiring off the street because we have exhausted all of the PT who want to drive.

There are 'part-time air' driver positions, that may or may not exist at your prospective location. However, such jobs are offered in seniority order. Around where I'm at, they're actually coveted jobs without too much turnover.
You would really have to check your specific Regional Supplement to the contract about any possible cut-off date for permanent hire status; it varies around the country, and possibly even by job (FT driver vs PT pkg handler).

Thank you. The HR rep said everyone hired before October 15th would be permanent hires. I was hoping ther’d be a way I would be permanent if they didn’t complete the process by the 15th.
