Speeding ticket

You have to work part time warehouse for 2-5 years making like 200 a week. Then you go as a relief driver on weekends still not making that much until you land a driving gig (box truck). Then you put your name on the list to be class a and have to wait. Its a long process. For guys like us its not really posssible. Thats why i suggest it to kids like OP.

 

Your cousin is yanking your chain. I believe that I can speak for everyone here when I say that, unless you can provide some primary-source evidence, this sounds like truck stop lunch-counter gossip.

 

I talked to some UPS warehouse workers that still weren't in a truck after 10 years.
Personally, I never had a desire to work for UPS or FedEx. I'd rather pull hazmat/tankers than wear that manure colored uniform and deal with unions.

 

Nobody makes that much as a driver, not even me

 

I knew the driver for the UPS Tonopah turn. He'd leave the same time at night and return the same time in the morning. You could set your watch to him. I'd pull over at the Goldfield hill if I got there before 3am. I was going south and he was going north. Both of us were pulling triples. I'd hear him pulling the grade and he'd make sure I was up and ready to drive. That was back in the 1990's and he was making about the same as we were hauling gasoline. It was good but nothing to write home about. The thing that set him and us apart from others were the benefits. He actually talked me into going to work for ARCO. I owe him a lot for that.

 

Ill bet a guy in a ups uniform gets laid quicker than your average cankles having, flip flop wearing, morbidly obese OTR driver. I wouldnt mind a union gig. But not just any one. It has to be the right company.

 

Are you still stuck on morbidly obese? Get a life

 

I think he's talking about revenue for o/o after they've been there a long time and got a lot of raises.

 

Well it's the average flip flop wearing, obese, cankles having driver that delivers stuff that people need so chew on that for a while.

 

Bs. I was otr and i didnt balloon up. I know otr guys who are in pretty good shape and theyve been doing it for decades
We all have choices we have to make and these guys are the way they are because of a myriad of BAD choices they made over the alternative good ones.
