[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1358513, member: 11246"] The job is a 69k job. Based on a forty hour work week. In order to achieve the 100k, we work mad hours. Also, just to achieve 69k, we are tied to UPS for 45 hours a week do to the required 1hour unpaid lunch break. I can't get in my car and go where I want to for my lunch. Pretty much stuck sitting in a brown oven or on a park bench waiting for the hour long lunch to expire. Unless I am able to bid the route that does my street, I consider that hour part of my work day. I am limited to where I can go on MY lunch break. People love to say that we make 100k. The average civilian only see's the 100k number and not the hours needed to achieve 100k. Don't get me wrong. We make good money. But it is not as good as everyone seems to think. Our base pay for a top pay driver is about 66% better then all tax filers. Thats after waiting 10 years or so to go from part time orientation to full time top pay driver. Again, I am not complaining. Not saying we aren't paid good. Just that throwing around the 100k number isn't a true representation of how much we earn compared to others. [/QUOTE]
