[QUOTE="DoctorPepperManiac, post: 4139614, member: 77583"] Im from Colorado and I previously worked at FedEx Freight and am now currently a Denver UPS Feeder Driver. If all you care about is the money, UPS easy. You are guaranteed work and we generally work 60 hour weeks, meaning they actually expect 60 hours, though you can generally work less if desired. They have been hiring in an unprecedented manner so maybe they want to cut down on overtime but that would be a complete change of the way this company operates. Be warned though, the grass is very brown on this side. When package drivers go Feeder, they keep their seniority and you will be very low on the seniority board for decades. Don’t expect to be running mileage , unless you get a lucky week on the various board but even then, slim chances. Hostling is part of our job category, so you might end up doing that a lot. Otherwise expect to go to the rail yard a lot as well as bringing loads to our other centers and overall expect to be their bitch. If you want the money, come on over at your own discretion. The equipment here , work/life balance , and atmosphere is honestly much worse than FedEx Freight. If you’re happy there, stay there, but if not, come on over. [/QUOTE]
