Hey! Im a pipefitter/plumbing apprentice! Lol. Between the apprenticeship (and lay-offs) and doing local work that provides a decent check, I'm thinking local work wins out. Thats if youre older to begin with. Now if youre 22, then I'd say go for the trades union. In the long run it will be a better pay off.

but tbh, you know what you’re in for and you’re gonna be sitting very well in a little bit. You’re trying to get to the top of the food chain ASAP.BigDog Trucker Thanks this. -
I'd stick to local work. When I got out in spring 2018, UPS freight hired me with zero experience. For some guys, thats a career job that they stick with for 25yrs. The pay starting out is low ($17.25/hr) but with the hours you work the checks still are nice. And after 4 years, youre a hair under $30/hr. Its OT after 8hrs, too. Guys I worked with at the time were clearing $1500+/wk during the summertime in peak of freight season.LtlAnonymous and buckawsomeshot Thank this. -
