Who exactly are UPS Seasonal Driver Helpers?

As a Driver Helper this is a position where you’ll ride along with a Package Delivery Driver in our famous brown trucks and help get packages of all shapes and sizes exactly where they need to be. It’s a lot of in and out of the truck, making deliveries, and greeting customers.
