Best Drivng Jobs You Never Hear About

I drive for UPS Freight. I think it is one of the better jobs out there, and I feel very blessed to have it.

 

I really like the gig i have now.
I know it sounds odd but we are a movie theater supply company.
All dedicated routes that rotate every 3 weeks.
Small family owned company.They show us our routes for the week and we run them like we want.
We have keys to all our drops.
No back hauls except our own vendors.

Assigned trucks, we get brand new and bring them home on time off.
The trucks are left lane trucks too..
Paper logs and a mileage sheet is the only paperwork.
I sleep in the truck 2 nights a week at most.
I got home tonight and off until Sunday,2800 mile week plus we get paid 5 bucks for every thousand pounds we haul.
So 40,000 in the trailer is an extra 200 bucks pay on that run.
The mileage pay is decent too.

 

Like the man said,"There are no perfect jobs." I have a very good driving job. New equipment and excellent pay,bennies,retirement. Work when and where you want. Downside,you are not home for months.

 

The perfect driving job is one where you get to drive the couch, steer with the remote and collect your lottery winnings.....maybe one day LOL

 

Sounds good to me!

 

Me too how do I get that job?

 

Win the lottery!..lol!

 

Hmmm, don't know if I share the opinion. Got friends at the local terminal and I did a year with them in '93....... uhm could be mgmt too. Could have been we were union too. Can't say.

M.M. is the terminal mgr. here now. He was a driver trainer then. Good cat then, different now.

An if you read this Mike, I heard about what you did to the German. He's a good guy and a top driver and that was wrong.

Pfttt !

 

Yea, no thankx especially when this is the out come:
