    You shouldn't need hazmat with UPS package, and doubles is the easiest endorsement in the world to get for anybody with more functioning brain cells than fingers.

    I was told I may have to get HAZMAT if I switched to tractor trailer driving but I’ll be a package delivery driver so I wouldn’t need it for now.

    yeah, I’m trying to make some good money! So I’m sticking with UPS. Just have to embrace the suck for the first little bit as I’m learning and working long hours.

    My buddy is sleeper team he didn’t have to have a hazmat. He only has doubles endorsements and he’ll get qualified in my area for rocky sets and triples once he’s there for certain amount of time.

    Get your hazmat. If UPS doesnt require it, others will, like R&L.

    Like another person said, be smart with your money. Dont just spend it all. 100k a year doesnt mean anything if you are broke the minute you are out of a job.

    So that's a thing.

    I'd say stay with UPS. Be home every day. Eat steak.
