UPS Freight Diary:

It very much depends on what terminal you're out of, what classification you are etc.

Can i ask what region you are out of? You don't have to say what terminal you're out of though.

Have you been assigned a Niteliner run (if we still use that term?)? Are you an 800 or 900 series driver?

This was, hands down, the best job i've ever had trucking or otherwise. The only reason i went back to city is because of the sleep factor----and that's another thing---if you can't sleep well during the day, then this probably won't work.

 

P.S.
i was mostly a "900" series driver----an "extra board" type driver meaning you would go anywhere central dispatch needed you to go. i lost track but probably been to most terminals in the N..E. 20 or 30 terminals?

i occasionally did Niteliner runs where you go directly to a Hub terminal from your home terminal, maybe work the dock a few hours, and then bring a load back to your home terminal. i think dockwork is now optional for road drivers, but not 100% sure on this?

i called running the road "Suburban Money." Meaning you could comfortably afford a new Suburban with this gig. And, it's even not a job, it's an adventure.

We are talking $100,000+ just for showing up. And decent benefits for you and fam.
