    The thing is most of the ltl is gonna over take us in pay before this contract is up.

    Lol do you quit?

    After probation, I make 18 in my first year.
    2nd year I make 20.
    3rd year I make 23.
    4th year I make 25.50.
    Start of 5th year Im at 28.65.

    And you still dont understand the two tier thing, sadly. Are you sure youre not more suited for a 1099 outfit out of chicago? Lol

    Do you not realize NOT ONE person agrees with you including UPSF drivers?

    I'm gonna try one more time.

    That is top rate RIGHT NOW. It will change everytime there is a cost of living adjustment.
    I'm guessing the raises are every August? If so every August top rate changes. For everyone.

    So if you stayed with UPSF when you hit top rate, you woulda been at the $30+ rate.
    It's no different with parcel. Our contract reads the same.

    Only thing that doesn't change is your progression rates. That is fixed for the duration of the contract.

    No, it's the current contract. Look at the years in the attached photographs. Through 2023.

    It's not the old pay rate. It's the current progression rate. Evidently they didn't do much to raise those.
