Quick question about job

well, i cannot fit into that tiny thing...but i'm glad she can..!!!!!

 

the job i have retired from, i was seeking employment with UPS freight. they had an account with some major auto store, cannot recall who it is or was. BUT i have seen UPS freight at a couple of dealerships at night, placed closed up, delivering parts to them. i actually "tried out" such a auto parts delivery job, with a company from NJ delivering GM parts up here.

i think the job sucked. you'd be all alone, dragging engines, transmissions from the trailer to inside the storage shed, or the building, taking the cores, and putting them in the trailer. then they have huge cages, cannot recall the exact name, filled with all sorts of auto parts, that you exchange for empty ones.

the job i "tried out" had a 2 wheeler, NOT a pallet jack! good luck i said to myself dragging engines and transmissions with that, in the rain, snow, and ice.......screw that

i told them to shove the job.

 

I don’t wanna sound negative but neither of those jobs seem to pay enough - especially when factoring in taxes, health, retirement plans

 

UPS is harder to come by with an opening. schneider constantly hires people, they will alway have ports. UPS from what i know is hourly, schneider is not. The night work does mess with ur sleep cycle but don't let that mess with you since you can probably transfer shifts later down the line. if you dont like the job you can quit and schneider will still take you.

 

Imho Schneider is pretty much dead end. What you see is what you get...

 

About 40 to 50K per year.

 

I meant the difference between union and non union of UPS.
Go for the money now and keep looking for the niche that suits your needs.

 

UPS and here's why......
Its hourly. Things f up here and there, not my problem, still on the clock.
Schneider its however many cans you pull. Whole thing goes to hell in a day, how many cans did you pull?
None?
Well that's how much you get paid.

As a disclaimer, I pull OTR for Schneider. And I'm as happy as a clam.
But, when you start talking about piece work, you loose me.

Hourly, UPS. 100%
