UPS is very hard to get into.. they have the lowest turnover ratio in the industry. That tells you how good they're.

Can be on call/local, or Otr. Max pay is $45hr at 4yrs. Overtime everyday after 8hrs. Pull doubles .50cent extra for the entire day. Work Saturday as your 6 day the entire day is all overtime. Sundays is double time. Pension, 401 and free insurance. Top otr driver can make $190k plus. Local max drives can hit 100k -140k. 8-14hr days depending on the route. Easiest job ever. However, seniority can make it difficult because no one wants to retire from the place. Each location can vary due to union contracts.

I just built a bar in a guys house who lives alone in a 800,000 house and drives a brand new corvette in Scottsdale that drives ups semi trucks from the airport. He’s been there like 25 years but still it’s crazy that they pay people that well. Good for them, makes me want to use them over places like amazon that treat everyone like trash.

He's right, even as a package car driver you can make 100k. Minimum 75k it's hard work but that brown suit means money and every one knows it!

My hubby has been a package car driver for 26 years. He averages 120k/year. We pay zero for excellent health, dental, vision benefits. He gets 8 weeks vacation/year. Hard work, but excellent salary/benefits package. I kid my hubby that I married him for his benefits ❤

I am a standy B mechanic for Local Transit system in DMV area. Pay is 41.20 starting pay is 35 ish a hour. This is all under local 689. I closed out the year at 130K which is nothing living in Maryland. I also was a bus mechanic with A class u restricted combination license for towing buses under same union. I hope this info helps. I really did not enjoy driving busses and towing them especially with the other driver on the road. I have highest 4 year pay pension, and 457 retirement plans. I pay about 300$ a month for medical benefits for my family of 5 including myself Hope my info helps.

As far as UPS Atlanta. New drivers are Brown automatically. You start off on cover board and you’re able to bid on routes where you cover routes for call outs or vacations. Some senior drivers prefer to stay on cover board instead of dedicated routes.. Annual bids are once a year in March starting April. New drivers don’t get sleeper routes.Sleeper routes since they are bid on pretty goes to senior guys, the only way new drivers can get on sleeper is if they somehow a senior driver picks him or her as their co-driver. Starting pay for feeder can vary but it’s $30 plus. Sleepers start at 80 cents a mile plus $35 dollars per diem for every thousand miles. You also get hourly rate for traffic delays and other kinds of delays. Money is great. First ten months driving for them from end of February to end of year made $128,000. Best decision I ever made despite having to spend 6 mos in warehouse. Some have spent less time in warehouse.

Current Feeder driver out Charlotte NC Hub pretty good company benefits are awesome!! Going on 2 yrs being with them best move I made in trucking!! Oh I got hired off the street and went straight into feeders home every night off every weekend !!!

The top out rate is 42 an hour. I took a sleeper team run (they arent available at every hub only big ones) and I made $4100 a week before taxes and I was out 6 days a week doing it.

Damn bro day 2 of training tough. Off set and straight back definitely showed improvement but damn it's tough new respect for drivers out there

Feeder driver here in Cali. $43 an hour top pay. Like this guy said every building is different. I never was on call. Right after 10 days of training I was working full time everyday with overtime and home every night. Never had to do a sleeper OTR run.

I’m out of Chicago. Currently very easy to get in. They’ve been recruiting right out of driving schools. I started in June of 2022. I did 1 week training at the facility, 1 week on road in browns with a mentor. Week 3, I was in a sleeper in the road making excellent money as a coverage driver. But watch out for the holidays. Nobody is allowed to schedule vacation during peak season, so there’s hardly any runs to cover.

During the pandemic UPS was hiring Feeder off the street....first time ever off the street..SoCal region.... usually it takes you 10 years to get on call Feeder... the pension is close to firefighters and CHP /police ...close lol

These is very true 👍 ive been working for UPS 17 yrs in the warehouse i do have B Class CDL for a day job . Technically i dont pay my insurance show up to work everything to get my quarterly . Lot of feeder drivers are retiring in Massachusetts beginning these year i know . 30 something 70k to 100k easily

How did they get Garry Shandling to do thier promo??? 🤣

Yes after you put in the time 4 years. Start off at 21-23-etc and after 4 years get the 42 . Also have to deal with inconsistent work load and layoffs. They almost have the structure of a trade apprenticeship. If you can swing it, that’s great. I can’t take a paycut to 21$ and hr and potential layoffs🤷🏼‍♂️

Dope place to work, even yard jockey’s racking in 6 figures..best decision i ever made

I am a feeder driver for UPS, and some information is incorrect. The starting pay is incorrect. It’s way lower than that. Every driver for UPS starts at the bottom as far as pay unless your working your way up. A feeder driver's starting pay (with no prior ups work experience) equals a package car driver's starting pay. It’s no different. The only difference is the workload. There are specific incentives for hiring off the street that will allow you to get a 30-dollar amount. (Depending on the need for drivers). But the starting pay is nowhere close to that. Every UPS driver around the USA starts at the same amount of money. I recommend everyone to start in the warehouse, package car, feeder, then eventually pilot. You get paid more starting from the bottom and working your way up. Quick insight, we do work 12-14 hour days on the feeder side. You can be a feeder driver on the call board (new) for a couple of months to a year and still win a bid for OTR. I have noticed that a lot of drivers go in and out of that position. Either way, the 2nd best and highest-paid job (behind being a pilot) is feeder/OTR. P.S. you can clear more than 140k a year being as UPS truck driver on either side Local feeder/ OTR. It’s all in your hustle! Stay blessed truck family!

Southeastern freight lines 31.70 hourly & .76 solo & .84 team

Additionally, Not only does UPS pay very well. UPS is the best trucking / and parcel company in the world. UPS not only has trucks. UPS has cargo planes which add value towards their overall business model in providing service worldwide to all their current and future customers. UPS is it. There is no one going to beat UPS! The only other competition of UPS in LTL (less-than truck load) is FEDEX. FEDEX is the largest owner of cargo planes; (625). Which makes them both the best in the industry.

I have been to a lot of companies UPS has been the best thus far , I am out of Kansas City starting pay is 30 hr you go to 47 after 4 years , we can bid weekly every Thur seniority is another battle weather you get one or not , I haven’t been there long about 8 months , you do not automatically go to sleeper after training you can get a various coverage bid and still be home daily, since I have been here I have had the option of picking rather I want to go on a sleeper run or stay local however if no one else takes it you may be forced out but that has not happened to me yet typically ppl take the runs because they pay so well you will be on sleeper intent list for 2 years after hire that means you can be forced out of needed, there is a chance you could be laid off normally within your first year but once they call you back it normally doesn’t happen anymore from my experience I missed 1 month and have been back every since however hands down best company benefits are awesome 100 percent company paid and the coverage is AWESOME Union is strong you do have a say so and they listen

The cost of living in Chicago is ridiculously high I used to live in Chicago and made well over 6 figures. But as much as you get taxed it really doesn’t seem like your making that much.

Where I live they also want you to go through the ladder 🪜 I am going into UPS as a pre-loader. My hire date is on the 3rd of September 💪🏼 i have my CDL pulling 53s, doubles/triples for a contractor at FedEx Ground. I am stepping down to get on that feeders wait list. It’s all about the brown now. 💯

Great info, wanted to add depend on ur region, some day cab feeder drivers can make up to almost 180,000 plus in my area, we have maybe one of the few longest day runs in the U.S. we run quite a few runs from St.louis,Mo to almost Tulsa OK. About 700miles down hwy 44 and back up. Anything over 500miles turnaround they pay mileage. But those particular brown tractors turned up to about 73mph get dwn their and back, weather pending. The 68mph smaller run tractors never make it back. But like you said certain big pay runs too senior drivers hold and this run here, most of these guys have 35yrs minimum. Money is good, but gaining seniority all depends on how many drivers retire.

Yeah Anthony overall Ups is the best man I mean the drivers that drive the brown truck make a 100k and u don't have to pay no medical insurance plus a pension and a union. After talking to a old supervisor and a few people for high school man I think it takes the gold prize

My husband makes $120k a year driving double side dumps in the Nevada gold mines, no state income taxes, home daily and not having to deal with the seniority bs.

We do just as good at FedEx Freight. Home everyday, and set runs. They know we want to go union so they are pretty relaxed and leave us alone. The downside.... benefits are not as good. New employees don't get the pension, but a 401k instead, AND you have to do dockwork. Dockwork is not cool lol

Originally from Chicago and know that Hodgkins location very well....In Dallas now and they hardly ever got postings i have years in with their union from foodservice so it'll be a great fit for me just waiting for them to post...

I appreciate your work/videos my brother

Ups literally have the highest paid drivers....I talked to a ups team and they said they gross around 200k each, believable when in my area, they make around .92cpm, $42 an hour, and double and triple time depending on extra days and or holidays...just a long waiting game tho for senority

There’s two local unions in feeder either your 705 or 710, 705 are local and go home every day and there isn’t any on call status. 710 drivers have long distance run and are home every night but you do have on call boards, also in 710 they have the sleeper teams. Hope this helps Teamsters forever 705 💪

It’s $33.89 in Jacksonville Florida as of right now. As far as the bids you can win a bid and then get out bid a week or so later by a senior driver.

I’m a feeder driver for UPS and I bounce between day cab (brown truck) and sleeper. Here is a link to a sleeper run vlog I did for the week of Thanksgiving 2021. I’m currently maxed at $42/hour plus $.94/mile on sleepers We bid routes every 6 months

Every region/supplement in the country is paid differently due to the fact that we get compensated based on a CBA that the union negotiates every several years. There are some lucky people out there that get hired off the street but it is rare, but best way to become a Feeder driver is to do your time in the building and bid into package car, do your time there and then bid into Feeders. Be on call which does include nights for several years in some cases to finally make seniority. Pay and benefits are 2nd to none but you do work excessive hours, most of the time you will have to go through a pay progression that tops out after the 4th year. Bottom line, being a CDL A driver at ups can be very lucrative but you will have to sacrifice time and possibly take a pay cut to get there.

Once you become feeder you go straight to top scale Hourly rate for San Francisco Bay Area is in the 40’s every region operates different

I had a bad experience with with ups back in 2008, when they bullshit me when I applied for the warehouse position, I’m sure the trucker get treated differently because I’m a Walmart truck driver. But not all that glitters is brown.

$42hr here in Northern California. I’ve been thinking about making the jump but can’t afford working in the warehouse to start. 🤣

Maintenance at ups is awful. And companies that need unions are also awful. Worked for them straight out of high school and hated every minute of it. Went to FedEx and stayed there for 25 years.

$150,000/year plus. Without even trying to maximize your hours.

Ups is a solid company no doubt. But definitely most likely would need a plug to get in. Guys with experience be turned down all the time.

I’m sure UPS is cool, but I just had a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with a feeder driver trainer in 2020, in the Philadelphia (Hog Island) location. He was rude, very pushy & unprofessional, we exchanged words, needless to say, “training” didn’t last a week.

lol yes you can become a feeder driver after, 3-5 years part time, 10-15 years as a package driver and then you might get a feeder driving job and that's in a huge hub like denver. in a small town, good luck getting a job.

Well all the union locals, have different pay rates. But out west, they have many OTR ( team) drivers. In 180k - 250k range. And local 140k -175k.

Ups is also investing millions into autonomous self trucking tech companies and has several autonomous trucks doing loads allready.

Idk if it changed since i was there but in 2015, don't think driver positions are just available at UPS. Alot of people have been waiting 10-20 years to get into driving a truck at most UPS locations.

Wish they hired teams in Atlanta Georgia not sure why because Georgia can service all the 20fwy and the 10fwy as well is tge up the 75fwy and the 85fwy so I doubt it will ever happen but if it ever do im applying for sure..

You get vested with the Union 5 years you get 5 years in your guaranteed a pension for the rest of your life as far as union dues it's two and a half times your hourly rate so when I retire from the trash company which was Union I was making 34 an hour they just got a new contract in there now that goes up to like 40 bucks an hour but when I retire at 34 an hour two and a half times my hourly rate that's times 34 an hour that's about $85 you paid that one time a month it would come out of your check on the first Friday of the month

I can’t sleep while the truck is moving.

Im a feeder driver for ups. We get paided good money, but they're other companies that good also. Frito lays, air gas sleeper teams, wally aka Walmart making 100k. There a few fuel companies making 100k easy also

I don’t think they’re the best paid.. but I’ll definitely say they’re the most protected. Best Union hands down. Best medical benefits in the game.

Id have to say for no touch freight yes but if you dont mind touching freight then sygma is the highest paid and i can say that from experience working at Sygma. I worked my normal routes which were about 40hrs a week 4 days a week and only running 1 extra route a week which put me at about 46hrs a week for about two month's i made about 130k that year. I happen to see a few of the highest paid driver's pay sheets and no exaggeration the one driver's pay sheets were consistently 7k a week or more. I seen it with my own eyes but i will say he was a worker and earned every cent of that money.

Also OTR sleeper team pay is $0.97 a mile for singles and $0.98 a mile for doubles. I take sleeper runs once a month.

If you're a new local driver say one two year driver get ready to be laid off 2 to 3 months out of the year depending on location. It's all about seniority so the best time to get in was yesterday. If you're a young guy with a good three to five year driving record I would definitely recommend it. Older guys will have to consider the possibility of being laid off and how that might work with their finances.

I made 130k in 2022 and dont even feel like I worked. Easiest job ever. Fully paid health and welfare including dental and eye care. Paid sick time and 6 weeks paid vacation each year. Im retiring at 57 this year a with $6000 a month pension...$6000 a month to stay home, more if I stay longer. Glad that I joined 35 years ago....

In Boston, top rate guys are making $130k/year and that's for package car drivers

Teamsters offer the insurance n pension . Ups offers the 401k you don’t hit top pay unless you’re full time then you start progression don’t get first progression bump until 2nd year in your progression , the contract is 5 yrs so top pay is locked in during each contract but we have COLA (cost of living allowance) which you get each august

rates are still the same , the contract doesn’t end till aug 1 2023 .

For some do well in UPS and for others just moving food to restaurants it doesn't matter if you feel comfortable with what you do in trucking the rest doesn't matter

Fedder 45.16 hour in Cali and 1.05 a mile on sleeper .

The starting pay for feeder now is $23

Not bragging but I just grossed $102k driving for a company contracted through FedEx. Dedicated team run from Georgia to Virginia with weekly home time. .70cpm split 6050 miles per week This my 2nd year as a trucker. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 #Blessed

I worked for UPS and loved it but it was the lack of work that made me go elsewhere. Work was in consistent some time 1 day a week some times 5 days a week. From Jan-Apr I would do good to make 300-500$ a week. I reapplied and was hired back but turned it down the on call just was not worth it. Ups is a great place if you have a wife with a great job who can help out or if your 21 living with your parents but UPS isn’t the end all be all.

Dollar for Dollar walmart has the highest paid drivers in the country. Now, the total benefits package it could very well be ups.

As a new driver you are on call about 7 months out of the year your first year.

I went from delivery driver straight to feedeR FULL TIME. Higher starting pay

Hey Anthony I’m in school currently, take my test tomorrow morning, & I’ve set a long term goal (diving hazmat). I know experience is required and food service is one way while waste management is a second way to quickly start on those 2-3 years of experience. My question is food service the best kind of experience out of the two? God bless

Problem is, most drivers are career UPS employees. Most people start in the warehouse part-time, then go rpcd(delivery truck), then, by seniority, go feeder. You are rubbing shoulders with 10-30year UPS employees when hired off the street, generally.

Overtime pay after 8 hours is 45.00 in St. Louis 🤠

Odfl is up there with them and they treat drivers like family.

Make 41.62 as a delivery driver in the brown truck. So far my gross pay for the year is 123k but I work alot of OT. I do want to go feeder though.

Hey Anthony in Austin Texas you have to work in the warehouse and move up to deliver and then move up to truck driver and happy holidays

I live near Charlotte NC have 6 truck driving experience. How do I get UPS near me. I heard it’s a hard location to get into. All advice appreciated. Ty God bless y’all and your families!

Hey Anthony, can you do one on CVS Health?

My homie drives for them now ups in Pennsylvania he makes $35 a hour now

We NEVER need to share our money per hour, even though it can be found.

I don't know if they're lying or pay in U.S and Canada are so hugely different. in Canada, UPS pay is one of the lowest in the market. for most jobs, they pay CAN$16.5 (US$11 min wage), Drivers pay is CAN$20/hr and they deduct $50 at first, and $44/month for ever for a sh**tty union that does nothing !!!!

I went at the quees location NY but the guy that was doing the welcome speech, took my license and start making jokes in front of the class cuz i had a new license, and only had 3 month of experience with a beer company.. i didn't like it and took my licenses from his hand and told him maybe i drive better than you.. and i left the room.. if they start with disrespect imaginate the end.. but if they changed the system good for them that happened like 10 years ago.

30 an hr pulling tankers local fuel hauling

no question they make the most and got the benifits.

I have 2 years experience as a class A driver with all endorsements. Can I just apply as a truck driver or do I have to work in the warehouse first?

UPS is great! However UNIONIZED carhaul pays MORE. $1.54 / mile headhaul and frozen rate $1.29 for Backhaul.

Fedder automaticly gies to top pay right off tge back.

The only thing with them from what I heard you have to start at the bottom and go through the warehouse before you can drive for them. Idk

Hey I have about 9 month of experience live in South Florida got my tanker and hazmat endorsement. Trying to get a tanker job if anyone could help a brother out please. Trying to leave Schneider and get a better job closer home

No, one of sure. More about the bs to pay ratio differences when choosing. Gotta find your balance, if its ever only about max money, you will be stuck in some bs you don't want eventually.

Pkg car drivers make $41 a hour and truck drivers make a couple dollars more.

I know back in new York, they had crazy crazy benefits. I'll bet union had something to do with that. You'll take a pension all day over a 401k match.

Not true I came off the street and started at top scale!

Hsve my cdl trying to get in there. May try package delivery to start off. I just want pension

If you can’t drive a manual you can’t get on with them.

Every ups is different and every person is different!!

You can stay local but you’ll be on call.

they local package guys net least 2000 a week down fall is starting in warehouse

Update pls they got biger salarys now

Yes I thought UPS was getting rid of their trucking division

I’m a feeder driver and I get paid $24

I have a question, I recently received all endorsements except hazmat. Do you know how many questions are on the test and I'm in Tennessee. Thanks

Teamsters!! As a former Sysco employee in Los Angeles pay was $32 plus free benefits and $5 every hour work in a pension.

I worked at the trash company for years second largest trash company in the United States we were Union still are Union when I retired from there 2014 my pay was almost $34 an hour plus they're putting $11 an hour into my pension so for every hour I worked including overtime $11 an hour went into my pension if I had 60 hours in one week which I can work that every week if I wanted to they would put $660 into my pension a week the last five years there I was working overtime I was making $110,000 a year
