    Yeah I figured I was probably going to need to get all my endorsements. I mean if I eventually even want to do tractor trailer work with UPS I need doubles and triples and hazmat probably.

    Don't forget the dream we all secretly have of being the master of our own destiny. When you're ready for that dream to become a reality remember BYOB&CBD your stepping stone to trucking nirvana.

    UPS promotes from within their own ranks, so bear this in mind should you choose to pull wiggle wagons for Brown.

    I met several package delivery drivers who were making nearly twenty bucks an hour, and this was in 1996.

    If this is the ups small pac job. I wouldn’t leave for nothing. My buddy is topped out as a package van driver making 100k. M-F home every night weekends off and holidays. You’ll make less driving a CDL truck for a different carrier Work a crappy schedule nights or weekends. Yard hostlers make 100k a year at ups. If you eventually get into ups feeders your making 150k a year but it’s nights.

    Package van driver doesn’t sound glorious but you can’t beat the schedule while making probably more money then most truckers.

    Most newbie drivers make 50k-60k a year and have to live on the road for months at a time. Even if you find a local position it will pay pretty crappy or be a crappy schedule.

    I’d stay at UPS even if I don’t use my CDL. You’ll make more money and have time to spend it.

    Also UPS did not carry HAZ materials years back, I'm not sure if they do now. I vote for UPS for your job, but, be advised, you will hustle and be expected to work, no goofing off.

    All the comments above seem to be accurate about UPS, although UPS isn't easy, they are making money. Not sure how old you are, but If you do quit, go work for a LTL carrier (Old D, R&L, SEFL, Estes, etc.). And be smart with your money.
