I’m a feeder driver at UPS, my pay is 21hr. I will top out at 42.50 in 4 years. Also the opportunity for sleeper teams making $1.00 per mile is also there.
lately I been looking into O/O for a while and was wondering do O/O make more then Feeder Drivers at top pay ?

That being said UPS Feeder is about the best paying gig in the trucking industry and if you can put up with the culture is a job you retire from. Me, I wouldn't last there but for some it's a real good life.slow.rider, Ruthless, Dino soar and 5 others Thank this. -
Stay where your at. You’ll thank me later.....
BTW, my brother works for UPS, he can retire anytime he wants now. You can’t beat the benefits from there.slow.rider, Dino soar, bzinger and 2 others Thank this. -
I would stay where you are, especially if you have decent benefits and retirement.
As an O/O you never get to clock out and your success can be contingent on many factors, including luck.
I'm an O/O because it fits my needs at this stage in my life.
My brother is a union driver with ABF and is looking at an actual retirement in a few years, which is becoming increasingly rare.bzinger, JoeyJunk and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
You'll top out at over 40hr and want to go o o. Pure insanity

Husband was a lease driver for a company. The pay is not as great as what you are getting now, and your future pay will be a whole lot more I think than being an o/o. Being a lease driver gives more freedom vs company, and usually a little more money. But it also gives you all the headaches of upkeep on a truck. He just leased his truck, and re-leased one in 3yrs. This way it stayed under warranty, which when broke down is a pain still, and having things that to be done, like new tires, batteries, etc are expensive.
There is a lot of sitting around waiting to be unloaded at dc's, no loads in area and having to move to another area. Dispatch did send the loads out, and I'm sure with all the companies out there now, it's a dime a dozen.
Hope this helps. Spring fever is in the air.
And be sure to be careful driving. -
