No you wont be expected to become a teamster unless whomever you hire on with is a union shop, most driver jobs are non union jobs and some driver jobs that are union are not teamsters, they might be organized under the warehouse union for example. Dues vary, I paid 54.00 a month a year ago, pay and benefits were good but when it came crunch time and we got laid off there was some things that our union could have done and they didnt, but hey there was only a few of us so what did it matter to them.
