It is pretty much the same nation wide---the only difference would be those areas that have had part of their wages diverted to their pension.

Just seems so odd to me to see a $1.50 +/- sway in pay.
I'm always surprised to see that drivers in Los Angeles or even in NYC can survive on what we make with the housing market being as crazy as it is there. I can only figure they commute at least an hour each way to a cheaper area to live

35.83 in the West
Our pension is in critical status, so we don't get our full raises.

Yeah I saw , I just quoted for reference not towards you
Maybe I should've quoted up state since there is a bigger difference

That's fine . I was just pointing out that it can be slightly different everywhere.

back to the OP, if you have a CDL-A, why are you trying to downgrade yourself to become a package car driver?!?!
look for jobs that will utilize that license! don't start at the bottom of the barrel, hoping to hop into a package car.
heck, try FedEx HD or Ground first to see if you like driving to 100s of stops per day during peak season (check your local craigslist job boards ~transportation section "fedex" in the search bar) depending on your area some FedEx feeder contractors as well as package car contractors are both up in my area... currently, my hub is looking for half a dozen right now
or try applying to the peak season driver position at UPS in ~2 months... if you shine, and become one of those "off-the-street" drivers after new years, then you skip all of that waiting in the warehouse (YMMV since some hubs need drivers more badly than others )

"Downgrade yourself?"
Ask management or ask a steward to have them post it. Its there somewhere. They may not want to post it.
They have to post it.

i didn't elaborate, he's starting at the bottom moving boxes in the warehouse, without any prior experience driving/ running stops off from a package delivery vehicle...
some hubs will make you wait over 5 years from moving at the warehouse level to a driver seat... others, it can be lucky.
i was suggesting he try driving from the get-go... by applying for a driver position before peak time or use his CDL-A to be a feeder driver or something similar & go from there... that ratio of off-the-street hires still stands? & it's still YMMV depending on the area
driving a tractor trailer has it's ups/downs vs a package car driver (ask oldroadbeech, she seems to work at every job position at UPS LoL)
Right well. The average time at my center is said to be around 1 year right now. Not only that the center is doubling in size (already under construction). The hub is in san antonio and they are doubling in size due to a amazon hub here. So that being said I figured it would just be a good time to maybe speed up the process of getting into a package car. You are right I have not done it, however working in the oilfield is equally as physical if not more actually. To me a job is a job I have yet to find the holy grail of jobs.
Heres a link to why it sounds like it would be a prime time to try and become a package car driver.

(As for maninbrown your sarcasm is rather lame. You can do better.)
Pension in critical status means what?
