So for those that are FT are they happy with what they are getting money wise? Do they ever talk about going to different companies?

Like many on here. They need something to complain about or their day isn't complete.

Are you a

The second we go to a fully auto fleet & the offer letter says Mon-Fri 4am-4pm availability. I'm in. From what I've seen. I feel confident it will get to this point.

You sure like to let it affect your life.
If Fred S had a crappy day at work and complained to his husband about it would your tiny universe collapse?

No collapse on my end. Unless my flight to New York Friday night gets delayed. I am going to the race in Long Pond Pa and I don't need any flight issues.

Then there would be nobody to point out all of your contradictory statements. Or maybe they could better be described as untruths.

Nope. Working my way thru all of the tracks. Think this will be #16 I have been to. I couldn't decide if I wanted to fly into NYC or Philly. It's not an easy place to get to. Any pointers?
you clearly fit into the "adds nothing pertinent" category. Back on ignore for you

Extra Large Package
That's a good question and one I've thought about myself. From what I've seen, UPS isn't hiring semi drivers, at least in my area. I've been checking for the past couple of years and those jobs never come up. Now if they did, would I take it? IDK. There's trade offs. If you work for UPS or FedEx Freight you're going to be working. Working hard. Compared to what I do now which is not work much (or at all) at times. I do get 40 hrs though. Express is so expensive that we don't have companies beating down our door wanting us to ship something for them. We only haul when they can't afford not to use Express (a factory shutdown, medical emergency, etc). So, we sit on call a lot! I usually only pick up 1-2 heavyweight items a couple of times a week. But I concluded that the few pickups I do more than pays my annual salary over the course of a year (probably double or triple what I make). But we do on call heavyweights and then go to stations in the late afternoon to get their courier packages. I'm assuming you do that too or something similar. Anyway, you could go to UPS or FedEx Freight and you'll either be driving 10 or 11 hours a day on a linehaul or be a local driver at Freight and have 12-15 pickups everyday taking up your whole day. I think I'm good with not making $40/hr like I would at UPS, but working my butt off. I make about half that, but also work 1/5th as much as they do. That's the trade off. If you're good with working hard and a lot, then I'd go with UPS/or FedEx Freight, etc. If you want to take it really easy and are okay with not making $75k-100K a year, stay at Express.

i find it hard to believe that ups is not hiring in your area. We are hiring like crazy.
Also None of us do any work. We get paid to drive and listen to the radio. We just put in a lot of hours.
