UPS Driver Helper reviews

Driver helper is an easy and fun way to get some part-time work and extra money. Every driver I worked with was nice, helpful, and patient. Just follow their lead and instructions and you can't go wrong. Make sure you hustle. Job description is literally taking packages from the truck to a house or office, about as simple as it gets. Customer interaction is generally pretty easygoing. Everybody likes the UPS guy, especially around the holidays. The drivers will teach you how to use the signature board which is very easy to use once you get it down. It took me about two days to master. Also, paid orientation! Ideally you'd like to eventually be assigned to the same route/driver just for consistency's sake. Otherwise you'll be going to different places and different times all the time. At first I was bouncing around different routes but eventually got on the same route for the last couple weeks before Christmas, which was good because it was hours you could count on plus it was more comforting getting used to the route and generally knowing what to expect. Can be physically demanding, but comes with the side effect of getting a good workout during the day. It's an easy job and I'd say better than working at the mall during the Christmas season. I'd definitely do it again.

I thoroughly enjoyed working as a seasonal driver's helper. UPS provides the uniform (except for the cap). It's great exercise, and while you have to be in reasonable shape to do it, it isn't as if you have to be Mr. or Ms. Universe. And the pay in my area was pretty decent ($10.50 / hr, averaging around 7 hours per day). Except for one day, I worked with the same driver for the duration. If you are fortunate enough to work with a nice driver, they really appreciate the help!
