Jobs paying over $100,000

55 cpm is the starting pay at most decent line haul companies. Cap is much higher.

 

Enough of this bickering!! If I see any more of this childish behavior. The whole lot of you will be writing. "I will behave on the truckers report" 50 times on the chalkboard. Now let me come back in here after that and each one of you will be going outside to pick which switch you would like to get beat with. Dagnabit!!

Just showing the admins. I have what it takes to be Americas next truckers report administrator. I run a tight ship. Have your people call my people

 

I was getting $200 a day because I was pulling a trailer.

 

care to shoot some numbers at me? UPS Freight was offering .$47/mi to start about a year ago when they called me. Old Dominion might be up in the low $.60's by now. Won't change the math much or negate my point. I've read that the average feeder driver for UPS makes around $85k and none of the freight outfits pay what UPS does on hourly or milage.

 

My wife and I made 250k driving for Old Dominion as company drivers. It's demanding, but it's worth it! We took our reset at home unless we wanted to stay out. If we stayed out OD put us in a pretty nice hotel (such as the Ramada on the strip in Reno). The two years we drove together was the best time of my life, but we decided we were going to have a baby and now it's just me driving. Now I haul containers as an O/O for OD...if you're looking for a great opportunity, and you're a responsible person - look no further than Old Dominion. We were running 8,000 miles a week mostly ATL to Rialto, CA - Then Rialto to Parsons, KS - Back to cali - then east bound....most runs were 1500 miles or more....no unloading - drop and swap. It was great! The O/O side is ok...I've called a lot of other companies in the Savannah area, and none pay anywhere close to what OD does to O/O. Even so, the container business sucks as far as pay. At least I'm on the top end of it.

 

Because I see how post office employees "work."

 

UPS (Package) tops out at 34.00 (in my area) so for a 40 hr week no O.T. that is 70,720 a year. Most bid runs at UPS are often only 8hrs a day 40hr weeks, so if you want to make over that 70,720 a year you either have to stay on call or sign up for a bunch of sat/sun/holiday work If you figure in overtime after 8hrs then yeah one would be close to making 80,000 a year, but 100,000 year not likely unless you live there and if that is the case might as well be OTR.

 

Have you seen every single post office employee work around the world? In your country? State? City/Town you live in??

I find it HIGHLY unlikely that you have.. I am also 100% sure the answer to each question is a NO... (unless you live in a one mailman town)

So I guess because I have seen a few lazy people in the private sector, I guess that means everyone is lazy in the private sector.. INCLUDING yourself !!!!!! See how dumb that sounds..??

I'd like to see you come work a week (heck just a day) in my shoes at what I do, and we will see if you can keep up... Please don't nag when we work 10-13hrs without taking breaks and going non-stop all day... Or when you have to climb into a trailer to clean it out from left over material inside (there is some nasty stuff in recycling because people don't know how to recycle)....

I have worked in the private sector... I have done flatbed OTR and let me tell you I find the OTR easier then my GOVT job.... Sure OTR is taxing on your personal life, flatbed you have to work in cold weather securing and tarping BUT in the end when I was done tarping in the snow/rain/wind/heat I knew after I was done I was going to be on the road for may hours before I get to my destination.... I am a local hauler, and like stated in another post I am in and out of the truck and trailer multiples times a day.. I am tarping my trailer up to 4-5 times a day in all kinds of weather (and I don't get to drive far the furtherest 2hrs the shortest 15-20min depending on traffic)..

Man people are so single minded about GOVT workers.... Just shows lack of intelligence and shows how ignorant people are in this world... This isn't the 1960,70,80 where GOVT work was the CREAM OF THE CROP to work.... Stop living in the past, join us in the present time.. Where it don't matter where you work, companies want the most out of their employees now and days.. Both PUBLIC and PRIVATE sectors.....

 

Driving a truck not hard work loading trucks is hard work I'll tell you I worked at ups loloadingading 350 packages a hour and they come at you fast.
