[QUOTE="Csdsm18, post: 4312066, member: 59850"] Ok I'm a former Fedex express courier to RTD left making 23.32hr. Worked overnights getting 45hrs a week, one time in my 5yrs working at Express I made $1000 after taxes, weekly take home was about $750-780. Had a better opportunity so I went for it. That was UPS air freight. They hired me at $21hr after a month let me go do to it slowing down. In the meantime I was looking for work elsewhere while trying to apply for unemployment. I stumbled across a contractor at Ground that was extremely close to home compared to express and ups about 1hr 30mins everday commute was very tiring especially all the traffic every morning. This Ground contractor offers health benefits but no retirement. They pay me 250 a day usually work 7-9hrs a day any extra work or extra stops they pay me extra for it. I'm bringing home close to $900 a week working 40-45hrs tops a week. All in all I can't complain but like someone else said this isn't long term I look everyday for something better but haven't found anything yet. I was offered my job back at ups but the commute is pretty tiring when I'm spoiled now with a 10min drive. Luckily I think I'm with a pretty decent contractor so taking it day by day. Just gotta get on with the right one. Fyi everyone RTD is tractor trailer work. Also I'm working days. Huge perk in my eyes. [/QUOTE]
