Fresh meat for you guys and gals this being my first post and all. =)
Im curious about these job listings on the UPS website. Some say full time package delivery driver. I can only assume these are possibilities for "off the street" hires. Although I'm sure if there are PT's at these locations willing to step up that the job posting would vanish in a glimpse.
None of the listings are in my area..yet. And possibly may never show up but if they do I'll be sure to jump on it.
I've had my CDL A class since last September and have been driving tractor-trailers and 30' box trucks for a 'drink' vendor 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week. Long story short, the company has tanked and soon I'll be starting at Express fulltime which will gain me more driving experience and route experience.
So, what I'm getting at is do you think someone with my experience would qualify for an open position if one opened up locally and wasn't taken from within?
I know that I wouldn't survive on a PT position's wages per week compared to what I've made in the past with family to support, mortgage.
Also on the website for careers I narrowed the search down to Package Delivery Driver and come up with 188 hits! Some say fulltime package driver while others say seasonal, yadda yadda. Seems there are a lot of open positions out there. I don't see how there could be so many posted and not already taken from within that hub, wouldn't atleast a few guys or gals try and jump in before its even posted publicly?
Thanks.
