What does RPCD stand for?Hello my name is @MECH-lift I’m here to answer your question
Qualifying to be a driver is similar to hitting the lottery
YOUR CHANCES ARE SLIM TO NONE
YOU WILL NEVER BE A RPCD!!!

What exactly is there production numbersAs a driver you have 30 days to show you can competently do the job. No accidents and getting close to or doing better than their expected production numbers are basically what management looks at.
I’m not trying to be mean. I’d suggest reading more and posting less. You can learn a lot by using the search function on this site. Also there is nothing more accurate then speaking with people that work in your building. Anyone answering you with specifics on this site is just guessing. Some examples of who to talk to would be a driver that has done that route before, the driver steward for that group or even the on road supervisor for that route. If I were new and trying to qualify I’d talk to all three.What exactly is there production numbers

I can’t put in to drive yet I guess I’m just jumping the a head of myself. I’d like to drive but not sure how hard it is to qualifyThanks I am not to familiar with this site i just came across it didn’t think i could find this answer
In my center they no longer have stick shiftsDo you know how to drive with a stick shift transmission ?
?What does RPCD stand for?
Regular Package Car Driver, as opposed to a 22.4 driver
Qualifying really depends on whether or not management likes you and how badly your center needs drivers. I’ve seen some slow drivers get qualified and I’ve seen guys who were back at the building by 5:30pm every day during their 30 get disqualified.I can’t put in to drive yet I guess I’m just jumping the a head of myself.

You have a lot to gain and nothing to lose, if they DQ you at least you’ll have your job inside. After 6 months you can try again if you want. There is a preloader here that got DQ’d when a tree branch broke a mirror on his truck. He tried again about 7 months later and qualified. He turned out to be solid driver.
I’d suggest you go for it. You won’t know if you like it until you try. The best advice I have heard for drivers trying to qualify, “Be quick on your feet, slow behind the wheel.”
Who uses the clutch. Use those biceps to shift. LolHuge biceps from no power steering but bad knees from the stiff clutch
