I worked as a UPS driver helper last year in Metairie, LA. Think I made $7.00 or $8.00 per hour. Definitely busy and fast paced and helps if you are in reasonably good physical condition. (Yes, there is running and heavy lifting involved.) Due to scheduling you may not work every day and if you do, the day can be very long. I worked until 9 P.M. Christmas Eve. Although the helper positions are usually done on Christmas Eve a group of us were asked to stay on until mid January. I was contacted last month by UPS and offered a position for this year but because of travel I couldn't take it but gladly would if my situation was different.
