Starting as full-time driver too good to be true?

[QUOTE="xracer, post: 76235, member: 2209"] We had a casual driver in our building who usually carried at least 10 points on his license at all times, 12 and DMV will yank your license away from you. The majority of his tickets were recieved when he was hurrying to get to work because he was running late. He was let go by the state police who clocked him at 87 mph in a P500 only to get stopped again about a month later by the same trooper for the same offence and guess what, this time he recieved a ticket but still did not lose his job and the trooper had told our center manager about the other incident where he had let the driver slide at the time when it had happened at which point the center manager told this driver to slow it down or it will cost him his job. But the final straw that broke the preverbial camels back was when this driver got in an accident 1/2 mile from our center in which he hit the car in front of him so hard that that car rearended the car in front of him and both cars were totaled and the state police estimated his speed to be 75mph in a 40mph zone. But not to worry Fed Ex Express almost immediately hired him on because of his delivery experience and he said that he liked it better there anyway because there is less pressure to perform there and a thier trucks are much faster than ours. So I do not beleive that driving records play that big of a role in being hired at UPS at least not where I am from, heck about 20% of our drivers have DWI convictions and some are multiple, and even if it does cost you your job apparently Fred still wants you..
