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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Yep..that’s how it’s always been at the location where I live. Start in the warehouse and work your way up which for most adults will be a significant pay cut.

Nonetheless, becoming a feeder driver is a good job with good pay.

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.
