UPS Owner operator

Whats your area?

 

I seen same thing. It's actually a contractor for UPS , NOT UPS directly. Click on the blue link you see on that advertising. It's you leasing on with a contractor that has that contract.Can't remember where i seen it but think on Craigslist. Really think UPS needs drivers bad enough to advertise on there?? I haven't but prob best to actually go to UPS website.

Looks like they do hire directly.

 

Ohhh Cool. That would be a nice deal. I know my area they'll be hiring like crazy cause their building a new Amazon warehouse 1.2 Million Sq.ft. just up the road. And if you seen 60 Minutes other night they constantly loading trailers non stop.

 

They hire direct. Its only .90 ¢ per mile.

 

NO WAY!!! Your telling me all them O/O getting .90cpm a load? We all know it cost more than that to run a truck. I don't believe that for a second.

 

first thing you have to understand and get a grip on, there is a huge difference between UPS and UPS freight. two different animals , and the guy is right ups freight is one of those .90 to 1.00 a mile plus fuel surcharge deals.

 

Ohh so their getting FC on top of that.90 . So tell me advantage of leasing on there? You have to have a pretty new and good truck soooo.

 

Have to stick foot in my mouth now !! I contacted UPS about this and already have a response and it is .90 CPM and pays 100% of FC as of today is .44 . All drop and hook and out 10-14 days. Someone please explain how O/O make any money at that figure? Cause their requirements on trucks they accept have to be pretty new. So good chance most have payments right? What am I missing here?
