Is Publix not a good company to work for?

I have friends who work for Publix in GA. I know their insurance sucks and their routes seem to pay less each year but they all make over $70k each year.

I would think best bet for outside hire would be Jacksonville with the big expansion but I could be wrong.

Good luck!

Just a general statement ....many of the part timers ...who r eligible 2 come out and drive r declining 2 do so .... this could open the door for yourself as a outside hire ...

Yes it is... long story short I moved to Alabama to open up new warehouse and not making nearly as much as they do in FL driving and it’s pretty much impossible to transfer back as a driver....

Yea that is correct... I wish was at 70k or would stay put more like 50k.... I hear a lot of good things about ups even tho more work but I believe it’s worth it.. Gotta go where the money is lol

No part time office gig with a path to being a driver.
You will be a grunt moving packages either loading or unloading.

I'm not sure how far into Alabama you are but I'm guessing the new Atlanta hub will cause some major hiring in feeders. It's located at the I20E and 285 interchange. That building is large!

Since you have a CDL try Old Dominion, in a couple years I think most of their guys are over $80k, some over $100.

Right now is a seasonal period. They usually dont start hiring off the street until spring.
You Don't have to work part time inside. You just have to relocate to a high volume area where ups is expanding. Check upsjobs.com

Step one. Apply part time.


Step two. Fog mirror

A Whites Creek driver told me they are supposed to hire another 100 feeder drivers this year. That's in Nashville.

A Louisville Centennial driver told me they have hired 50 or so off the street for four years straight.
