You must have a CDL w/two years driving experience. A clean driving record, pass criminal background check and drug screen. They hire less than 8% that apply.

Start off by going to UPS and/or Fedex and picking up an application for employment. Fill out the application and return it with your resume, references, etc. I know someone who went straight into being a driver. However, keep in mind that you will be doing a lot of heavy lifting whether you are a loader or a driver. Drivers are required to be able to pick up 50 pounds. It could be up to 75 now, but it's at least a minimum of 50 pounds. If you have a bad driving record, that could also hender you getting a job as a driver.
The UPS driver that comes to my work has been working for them at least 5 years and let's just say this guy has more vacation time then one person should be allowed. It's constantly off on vacation going fishin'!!
Just one bit of advise.....if you do work for one of these companies please be gentle with the boxes. My shipments are constantly coming in broken apart (example, a carton of 2000 checks came to work yesterday....the box was completely broken apart at the seams!).
Good luck!
