Laura-I am retired from UPS but I think your hubby is a little too old for delivery,however,with the shipments being taken off the train alot and tranfered to ground he may a better chance in the slepper dept.I was on sleepers prior to my retirement,did not care to be home one day a week but made good money.Good Luck and God Bless,Dave

Best thing to do is get OTR with UPS freight........As Yeldarb states, the chances of getting on with UPS is very slim and there is no sleeper team in UT for UPS!
Ups Freight In town drivers top out about 21 an hr and OTR make much better, but away alot!

he can be a driver for 1 year then go to feeder.

all depends on your part of the world many areas of Utah are pretty rural which may mean he might have to wait years to get into feeders.

It dosn't hurt to apply for the jobs listed and see if what we have is compatible with his interests/ needs.
