[QUOTE="brownrodster, post: 614268, member: 10437"] I fully agree with you. In the same situation here. I know some rural routes where I think it's a total joke to pay me 30$ an hour to go drive 175 miles and basically do nothing. But I also know some b4ll busting P12 routes that I wouldn't be willing to do for less than 25$ an hour. If I was stuck on my training route forever and had to work for 20$ an hour I would have been out the door and long gone. I think our raises in this contract are insanely good. 4$ over 5 years is better than any other union job around here. My father works for one of the largest union employers here with a skilled job and he only makes around 24$ an hour and his raises are simple COLA that are around .20$ per year. Granted, I would NEVER work for UPS if I was in a big city. I would have taken a job along the lines of what I studied at university. This job would be too hard in a major metro area. But in some backwoods small town this is the gravy train. [/QUOTE]
