Popcorn, popcorn, get your popcorn.

 

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

 

UPS is thee worst of the worst. Six dollars a hour and have to buy a package car and on your own dollar have to get it painted trademark brown.

 

6 dollars an hour???

 

Worked for brown as a temp in the fall of 1991 and was one of two offered full time.
Was 30 yrs old and had been OTR for 10+ yrs prior.
Was my second union gig and didn't grasp the long term potential and the 5 managers per driver seemed like overkill but I stayed on nearly a year.
Moved on to another union job nearby and spent a dozen + yrs there. Our contract was negotiated following buster browns contracts thru the years as they were the compensation leaders.
Looking back I regret leaving that job but I was young and dumb and full of...you get it.
I would be a 25 yr+ senior driver at this point and probably have one if not the best start time and turn.
Been a union company driver ever since.
Still make good wage but all UPS feeder drivers in my area earn $100,000 dollars + each year.
Don't know the point of the OP was but if you have the opportunity to get on with UPS I don't see that union collapsing anytime soon

 

This thread doesn't fit very well with the TTR model because folks won't be able to bash them.

 

UPS has it's downs!

 

Who are you working for nowadays??
