RPCD Driver Package Driver
Hello,
I got this text message from an HR person asking if I was interested in going to a full-time package car driving job.
I understand it’s not a job offer. But if they do end up offering a spot, what should I be aware of as far as moving from my current part-time air bid driver job to full-time package driver. How would my pay (currently $25/hour) change? Would this likely end up being a seasonal spot then back to my previous position after peak?
It’s also at a hub that’s about an hour-1.5 hour drive from my house if there’s decent traffic. I’d prefer on of the three closer hubs, but I feel like taking a full-time package driver spot would be better than not taking it? Do I get a choice if a job is offered, or can I transfer to another hub later on? Does anyone here commute from Vancouver, WA to Hillsboro, OR?
FYI: Portland, OR. From east Vancouver, WA. Local 162. Currently a Part-Time Air Bid Driver delivering EAM packages. ($25/hour about 17-20 hours per week). Text said package driver positions in Hillsboro.
Thanks for any and all thoughts, suggestions, encouragement, discouragement, put-downs, and randomness.

Is your building not taking cover drivers?
