    48 CPM & if you get the bonus then it comes out to 70 CPM. In order to get that bonus.....you need to do I believe 5,000 miles every week for the month or average 5,000 miles. Check that Craigslist ad, it should have more info.

    The easiest way to get the miles is to get on these dedicated accounts the company has. Most are drop & hook. The UPS dedicated account I heard from another driver pays 58 CPM, with the bonus...you would get more than 70 CPM.

    Lol

    We hated UPS loads. Most of their yards were real tight. They tell you your appointment is at 7am then make you wait around for hours because it's not ready.

    Last one we did, they called everyone all at once. Imagine 8 trucks all real close to each other trying to hook up & leave. These guys could care less about outside company drivers safety.

    Drivers safety is for any carrier. 8 trucks close together. cry me a river. Why did all 8 of you decide to hook up at the same time? Common sense and drivers safety is different lol.

    This is not UPS fault. Impatient drivers and lack of common sense

    Ok I re-read that craigslist ad ... do you guys ever did get that bonus extra 22cpm to your 48cpm? Also as far as hazmat what kind of hazmat materials do they transport, because its says on their web site that there is no chemicals? Do they pay for extra stop? Do they cut your pay in cpm if you run a lot of miles? and do they have their own top speed limits like some companies don't allow you drive over 70mph
