Hi All -
I was just hired as a part-time cover driver 'off the street' here in MA. I start training in Norwood on 5 JUN. I've enjoyed reading the posts of the veteran package car drivers, and I think I understand how difficult it will be to make it through the 6 month probationary period. If I do make it to JAN, how difficult would it be transfer to another part of the country by next JUN? (I have lived in Los Angeles for the past 6 years, and would prefer driving there or perhaps somewhere else in the Southwestern US.)
Also, I'm a 40 year old (male) with a college degree and a strong work ethic. What's the likelihood of someone like me breaking into management within 2 years? It seems the drivers would benefit from having more managers with leadership ability.
Thanks, JD.
