[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1283596, member: 50088"] Most of the year, the hours aren't excessive by any means. Depends on the center but a typical day is 9 1/2 hours (not counting lunch hour). I believe the national average for PC drivers per week is 46-48 hours (off peak). Lot's of people outside of UPS work that much and more. Retail managers, for example, often work 55 hours a week on a salary (no OT). Many people have to work 2 jobs to get by - that can easily be 55+ hrs a week (I've always done it). The pay is no secret. Top rate (achieved after 3-4 years) is nearly $33/hr. So OT is about $50/hr. You can do your own math with that info. The new contract will bring it to over $36/hr less than 5 years from now. At that point $100K+ will be common. But a big components to our compensation we're not even talking about is very good health coverage with zero contribution out of our checks. That's very rare today. The other biggie, is a pension (that will hopefully be paid someday to us younger drivers). You add full family health coverage and pension contributions and we are compensated in the neighborhood of $120-140K a year. [/QUOTE]
