[QUOTE="fedx, post: 3020979, member: 64891"] There are lots of trade offs. It will be highly unlikely you'll get hired at UPS, because they hire 6 internal applicants for every 1 external. UPS' feeder driver job is a highly desirable job. However, just keep checking UPS' website for jobs and maybe at some point one will come up. I would just plan on pursuing the RTD as a job. Here's the good and bad about it. The bad-doesn't start out very high in pay and takes a decade or more to top out with their "10 step" pay progression. The good-you don't work very hard. Sometimes you don't work at all and still get paid. That's the trade off. You don't work very hard and don't get paid very high for a long time. When you're finally topped out you'll still not be working very hard and you'll be making a lot of money! If you work at UPS, FedEx Freight, or any other trucking job, you're going to be working and working hard. So that's what you need to consider. Do you want the money and working your tail off or can you live with less money and lots of free time? If you're full time you get guaranteed minimum hours too. So if you show up and don't work 40 hours for the week, you will get paid for a minimum amount of hours. A nice perk. All in all, it's known as being "the second best job at FedEx Express after a pilot". [/QUOTE]
