Has anyone worked at both?

. Well to answer your Q. I can only say Beware and ask questions...UPSF I know for a fact even as a line haul driver you will be on call that could last for many years...They’ll tell you to come in and you’ll be more of a dock worker than you are a driver..And the line haul may only be 80 miles away and you’ll work the dock at that terminal. And let me mention you swipe your time card as dock PAY not driver wages.. this is something they didn’t tell me at the interviews. Some LTLS are getting away from drivers working the dock for hrs then drive there line haul at night And you must perform as a seasoned dock worker or you’ll be reprimanded ..R&L at some terminals got away from the COMBO crap because they couldn’t keep drivers ..Some do some don’t..Again ask questions..UPS IF your new you’ll be at the bottom of the board..and could be there quite awhile.. good luck

 

Nice, upsf or t force doesn’t hire in my area.

you gotta wait for someone to die before you even think about going over there.

 

. It’s not as a new hire very thrilling to say the least. Being on the bottom of the board and on call is a tuff thing to endure with that Co. If you can survive it meaning you have a spouse that works and has a good income id say give it a try. Cause if you can make it to top rate and get some seniority on your belt it’s a great paying job. With top of the line benefits. However I had 8 drivers that were ahead of me that got the call to run b4 they got to me. So I was a dock worker 99% of the time for only at best 6hrs a day. To this day I still don’t understand why they hired me as a driver. I only did P&D 5 or 6 times the entire time in 4 months I was there. I had to move on. But you can get lucky and move up if a lot of guys like you said are retiring on pass on lol
