Providing the shit hasn't splattered the fan by then and inflation isn't so out of control that a loaf of bread is 100 dollars then we'll see where this goes. People should be more worried abou getting through the next few months. Additionally if fast food workers are making 22 to 25 dollars an hour in Ca then I think UPS drivers should be making 75 dollars an hour.

Kinda fuzzy on that. Almost all of them had stories of being so tried they would fall asleep behind the wheel on the way home. A good side hussle for anyone interested is they hire people with vans and such to help deliver overflow for about $150 a day. I got all this intel from being a shuttle driver for them. The local UPS yard is to small during Christmas rush so they hire companies to shuttle them from a parking lot to the warehouse and back. Proud member of the angry mob since 2009. |

Most drivers with 10 years experience are making 30 an hour or more. They are paid for 8 hours and any time past that is overtime. Even if its a Monday work 9 hours you get an hour of overtime. All the drivers use to be package handlers loading the trucks. That is the only way via the union to become a driver. A light day is around 100 stops a day. During Christmas rush it is normal to run 200+ packages a day. Most of them were making $120k+ a year. They earn it because they have to hurry or risk losing their jobs.

Union contractual supplememnts differ regionally so some things differ depending on where you work out of. He tells me that you do not need to work there 3 years to be in the union. Again that may differ depending on location but he said in his exp as long as a belt loader works a continous 30 days in a 90 day period they join the union. Some exceptions are also made that allow some centers to hire drivers right off the street. Lastly yes he is very tired from the hard work and long days...especially around Xmas where we rarely see him for the whole month of December.
