I see that a few UPS hubs are hiring for UPS driver helpers between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season.
So I have two questions...
1.) What is it like being a seasonal driver helper? How is the pay and how many hours is one expected to work? Is it difficult work?
2.) Is there any chance of getting a job as a regular full-time driver with UPS once the holiday season is over?

1. UPS is hiring individuals to work as temporary, seasonal Driver Helpers. This is a physical, fast-paced, outdoor position that involves continual lifting, lowering and carrying packages that typically weigh 25 - 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs. It requires excellent customer contact skills and a lot of walking.
As a Driver Helper you will not drive the delivery vehicle but assist the driver in the delivery of packages. Driver Helpers usually meet the UPS driver at a mutually agreed upon time and location each weekday (Monday through Friday) and typically do not work on weekends or selected holidays. Hours vary but usually begin after 8:00 a.m. and end before 8:00 p.m. Driver Helpers must comply with UPS appearance guidelines.
2. It depends on the location. The requirements as a driver include a DOT physical exam. Package Delivery Drivers must have excellent customer contact and driving skills, including the ability to operate a vehicle equipped with a standard (manual) transmission. Qualified applicants must have a valid driver’s license issued by this state.

I've been a driver helper 4 times now, Its a hard job for little pay but if your trying to get your foot in the door with ups or just make a few exta hundred bucks around the holidays, its not a bad idea.
If you want to become a delivery driver for UPS you have to put in the time and prove yourself as a loyal, hardworking, determined member of the team. Most drivers ive talked to had to work inside the UPS sorting facility first for several years before getting the opportunity to become a driver.

No UPS does not drug test any of there employees except for drivers. I have worked for UPS and know this. Half the people I worked with were druggies. Please don't answer the question if you don't know what you are talking about.
