[QUOTE="scisector9, post: 1419370, member: 48365"] To the op: Starting pay for ft permanent drivers is 18.75 per the national agreement. In my local I got insurance after 90 days from hire not working days. Once you attain seniority there is no shortage of work from my experience. Old drivers at my center love taking days off without pay giving us lower seniority drivers work every day. This might vary per local but low seniority drivers always work here. I myself was an off the street hire 15 months ago. I worked in the industry delivering laundry for a uniform company. I was commission based at my previous job but took a 15k a year pay cut to come to brown as my first year at 17.25 I made just under 50k my first year. With the new pau rate you should make about what you are making now. I have no regrets for the move and still over a year later am thankful for the opportunity to have this career. For what its worth I don't share a lot of the negativity some on this message board do but I wasn't around before the company went public and the recession of a few years back. The "new economy" has changed a lot of professions and company practices but for me I couldn't picture another gig offering me a potential 6 figure income with free insurance a pension and the other perks we receive like 8 weeks vacation for 25 year employees. I would ask yourself the reasons for the move and what would be best for your family. My wife is a stay at home mom while our kids are young so the long hours for good pay is with it for me. I like being out by myself getting a work out everyday and love driving so it works for me. As a marine you will fit the ups system well. Good luck either way. Cheers [/QUOTE]
