Sleeper actual pay difference

[Siveriano]

Wait, so I'm not going to be taking home $2700 after deductions?

 

[quad decade guy]

You are in one badass Local.


You can get hired into automotive at 19 yrs old.... and then....

Dovetail in to pkg car and feeders, on a "change of operations" ???

40 years ago ??


This is legendary.

Who are these kick-ass Union leaders ?

Not really...

I work beside a fellow feeder driver who went through the exact scenario from the very same place.

Matter of fact-many more.

Legendary? Uh no.

Not 40 but more like 30 years ago. I've been in pkg and feeders for 30 years.

And yet, somehow a thread about sleeper pay has become an attack on my character.

The boo birds and A wholes resurface.

And yet, on events that are exactly true. Sigh.

You have to pay attention. It's difficult...

All deductions remained the same. I just covered a sleeper run for the very first time(for me).

My paycheck was $1000 more than the week before. Perhaps move on?

 

[quad decade guy]

No need to question you to do that.

They let you out of the barn? JA?

 

[Rick Ross]

You need to say what your gross pay was. For popping your cherry, that was a pretty rough run. We have some 3-4 day runs that aren't too bad but they usually work part or all of the weekend.

I've met a couple guys while waiting at DFWAS who had a 6k mile run. They were out 5.5 days with something like 11 TA's and no trips back through their home domicile. I think he said they grossed about $4200 most weeks.

My building has some in the 5,500 mile range but they come back through our domicile at least once. I think they gross about $3300 a week

Not trying to be a prick here.....

Didn't you quit and come back at one point?
Did that break your seniority?

57 years old, 30years seniority, started full time at 19... The .math is just a bit confusing,

Or perhaps a stint in management?

 

[35years]

You made an extra $1000 but you were basically a prisoner not being paid for half your hours at work.

That's the way i view sleeper teams

To each his own.

Like many, you don't know what you speak or speculate of. I obviously did 9 years of something else

besides pkg/feeder. I've stated it was in automotive. Pay attention. You JA's try so hard to tear me

down you never get past the hatred. I've never quit UPS. Around here, ANYTIME you change

classifications, it BREAKS YOUR SENIORITY. Got it? Every time you go to the bottom. 9+15+15=39

That's close enough to 40. The math is difficult for you because of being an A whole. But you are a

prick.

We agree.

One more...sigh

I asked an honest question.
I was just trying to understand.

Here our seniority is not broken by going from package to feeders.

No hatred brother. Not trying to tear you down.

So what are my chances of becoming a sleeper driver right off the bat of getting hired through Union off the street, for the feeder position, which I understand is either sleeper or daycab. From what they explained to me its up to the A driver already doing sleeper that is looking for a new co-driver. I have 3 years driving otr team driving sleeper, i heard most sleeper drivers prefer someone with teaming experience. So how would i get in with the white truck driver? How would i find out who's looking for a B teammate? Thank you.

how many times are you going to post the same question?

Nobody wants to trust your lives with a rookie

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Yeah I understand that I wouldnt either. Thats why i said in my original post that I have team experience unlike others...Ive been teaming since Ive been driving and still currently do...again im wondering how to go about doing that being hired as feeder through the union off the street

Unless you are in an area that is desperate for feeder help it might be a long time before you get to drive one.

He’s just reacting how a narcissist does when caught in a lie. It’s textbook. Turn around and attack everyone else to make yourself the victim.

So, you are a psychiatrist? More like a proctologist. Textbook? More like a coloring book for you.

Now, what exactly am I lying about? You bully and slander. Based on what? To a person you've never met. Somehow, a complete stranger has different career experiences and they are a textbook narcissist? Or(most likely) you really are a miserable, jealous pile of envy that doesn't have anything more than hate.

If you stay at this company as long as I have, you will see much. Given the many locals and supplements and local agreements, you couldn't help but have many different paths. Except for one slight difference, my career has been pretty typical of any pkg to feeder career. Especially around here. And with the crazy world we find ourselves in now, many more scenarios are ahead.

Little man, my career was exactly as stated. It's hardly remarkable for Upser's(except longevity). It's so odd to call a person a liar based on nothing but hate.
