Talk to the drivers too - they could have some inside info and also tell HR about you and request you as a seasonal helper. Volume has been down a bit this year and I never did see any job postings for help in my area, but I recieved an email from HR asking if I would be interested in coming back. Based on volume, I believe the hiring this year has been less and mostly consisted of those they hired in years past.

I am assuming that your inquiry is, in-part, based upon potentially working there as a pilot someday. If you ever get the opportunity, it's a great seasonal position. I have been doing it for the past two years for two reasons. First to see what it is like to work for the company. I had already heard it was good and it is. In my opinion, the people make the company and the people here are great. Secondly, I am hoping that it will set me apart from other pilot applicants when hiring resumes in a few years. UPS, like FedEx, hires stongly from within. Although it is not a part-time/full-time position, it is the best I can do while flying and on a resume, it is better than nothing, in my opinion. Maybe some current UPS pilots have a better take on this. I also wanted to see if I look good in brown... I do!
