Eddy,
Top rate for package driver varies slightly all over the 50-states. It's in the neighborhood of $36-$37 an hour and there's a hand shake agreement in place just 2-weeks ago for $4.15 more an hour over 5-years. So roughly by the time you make package car driver and all goes well, you'll be looking at roughly $41 an hour.
Btw, my beloved co-workers are kinda perturbed by me sharing what we make an hour. They'd like newbies and the public not to know. Yet, come day 2 or 3 of a walk out in August. UPS goes to the media and explains what their hourly rate is and the public gets into a frenzied shock & awe state over it. So we're just a few weeks from UPS corporate telling the world anyways.
This happened in 1997.
So it's best I let the cat out of the bag now... before the bag is filled with all these cats. Just between you & I, Ed. I'm actually helping my co-workers out tremendously posting on here. They just don't know that yet. Say a year from now they won't even know I exist. Someday though when they're out looking at a Caribbean sunset or sunrise they'll think back and say... maybe he was right. Maybe it would of been bad if the majority of us voted no?
I'm Fitty btw, Coolest Cat at the Cafe! Nice to kick messages back & forth with ya.

Not almost.....it's impossible. I have not seen a feeder driver hired off the street or even one hired for peak ever around here.

Stop in Jax and apply there from what I hear they are so short feeder drivers you may just get hired off the street.

I understand you wanting to move to warmer places. I think Utah might have some Feeder jobs available. Just a hunch. Snow there too, but not as bad. Ol' Road Beech is right on some of her points. CDL, experience...clean driving record. That would help.
As far as a driver to make $41 in 5-years. You'll need to be picked off the street. Keep asking around in here and maybe you'll get lucky at relocating. You still have time. I see the membership working without a contract at least until October. That's just my guess. You get in the company before July 31st. You have a slim shot. Anything after July the top driver rate you'll see is just under $35 an hour.
UPS has increased pay across the lower ranks and reduced pay on the top end for hourlies. The internet is killing their bottom line. Online Shipping Discounts are not producing the ROI that customer counters once did.
Anyways, what are you waiting for. Go apply man. Good Luck!

That was just a guy that was looking to get into feeders there. I have socks older than some of their feeder drivers.
No. The know-it-all dummy who tried to tell us all how great he was.
Edit: I think that jackwad was in Orlando.
