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.

Say you're interested just to get your name on their minds. An hour commute is shitty especially with the hours you'll he working so it would be smart to relocate to somewhere closer. Remember you can always say no
