[QUOTE="MSGTDEL, post: 175814, member: 6690"] One thing you should consider, this job i very time intensive meaning you may not have time for your wife and your new baby when you get off in the evenings. I see drivers here in atlanta getting back to the building at 9.30 pm. or later. The lastest I've seen during a non-peak season period is 11.30 at night. They still have to do their check in, clock out and drive home, clean up, eat, talk to the wife and kids. Sex? Well, after 180 stops, I'm not sure, lol. UPS still has trucks that are not "power-steering" and you may have one on your route. Drivers do do well but it will be about 24-30 months before you top out in your pay. You have to also realize that the job is very physically demanding plus the pressure to perform on the job, i.e., getting you numbers, running scratch, should I take a lunch break or run this 20 stops now, do you have a good pre-loader, etc... I suggest you look at this forum and talk to drivers your area before making that move. I know you need to support your family but remember, it's not always about the money. [/QUOTE]
