Frequently asked questions
Is the pay per delivery and how many bags on a delivery.
The pay is per delivery and a delivery can have up to 2 passengers and 4 bags going to the same address, however most all deliveries have 1 or 2 bags and only 1 passenger.
How many deliveries on a route ?
It varies alot but most routes have between 5 and 15 deliveries.
Do the deliveries go all directions ?
Yes but we try to make the routes as practical as we can but they are different everyday.
What is the key to making this a great job ?
Attitude is everything, A willingness to work and be available is the determining factor most of the time. I have seen it continually over the years that a driver with a good attitude and flexibility with the schedule always does well over time.
Can I drive a car or a pick up truck and do this ?
Yes but a mini van is the practical vehicle for this and preferably one that the back seats fold into the floor.
How do we get paid and how often ?
Pay is direct deposit.
Work week is Sunday to Saturday and paid the following Friday
How are the deliveries given to the drivers ?
We use a schedule with a primary and secondary driver and backup drivers as needed.
The primary and secondary driver work as a team to go through the airport collecting the deliveries from the baggage service offices and then we sort into routes as practical as possible and deliver in route normally closest first.
All drivers are contractors and tell us their availability, we hire to fill in the schedule as needed.
Our schedule is designed to be somewhat permanent as in each slot on the schedule is best served by a person assigned to it and committed to it at the discretion of the station manager. Some drivers cover the same slots on the schedule for years.
Will I get a list of my deliveries for payment ?
Each week , normally on Monday or Tuesday you will get a commission statement by email listing all your deliveries for that week and the amount of your Friday direct deposit.
What if the passenger is not home and we do not have an authorization to leave the bags ?
Undeliverable bags are returned to the airline and we have them sign for it and the driver keeps the paperwork with them and sends a picture of it to our office with explanation written on the delivery order and the driver will be paid for taking the delivery back to the airline. up but we always promote from within. This is true also of our shift supervisors/lead drivers ( same thing) . Again att
Is there room for advancement ?
All of our station managers started and remain as drivers. It is rare for a position to open itude is what counts most.
Do you reimburse for parking and tolls ?
Yes
Yes, if they are directly connected to a delivery, parking and tolls are reimbursed on a monthly basis.
