[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4060384, member: 63706"] I hope driving works out for you. You should, however, understand a few things now that the new contract is in effect. First is they can only hire regular ground drivers off the street if they have exhausted all internal options. Next, If the center you are applying to has Saturday ground delivery, they will likely be hiring 22.4 drivers, which could do inside work as well as driving, and they will be driving Saturdays. Finally, 22.4's top out at $6/hr less than regular ground drivers. As for the self-employment idea, not to try to convince you, but just for argument's sake: 1) You can hire someone to manage the hassle. 2) See number 1. But demand is so high just about everywhere, customers will have to wine and dine you. 3) You can still make really good money as one-man show, cuts down on a lot of hassle too. Just set your prices properly, and be firm. You can take on a charity case from time to time if it'll help you feel better about charging a lot. But if you want to run a crew you can have a business manager deal with the employee issues, you just make sure the jobs get done right. If you're wondering why I'm not doing it right now, it's mostly because I'm not licensed in anything, and it would take me forever to get to that point. The idea is not completely off the table, and I could offer general handyman services, but that's like a plan c or d at this point, as it's not really the direction I want to go in. [/QUOTE]
