    I’m just starting out with UPSF and I catch myself saying those words often while learning everything. It is a whole new animal compared to tank, regional or OTR, that’s for sure. There is a lot to learn and you’re always on the go—even if you start on time it feels like you’re running late. I know I’ll go through some growing pains, but I also know that I’ll soon find my groove and this will be well worth it come retirement.

    When next year do you hit full rate?

    Do you have to option to work the dock before/after your routes? Our guys in RFL do and some made over 100k

    Full rate is $28.40 or something. i am at $24 which is the third year rate. starting $17.70, after 1st yr $18.70, after 2nd, $20, after 3rd $24, full rate $28.40. i will make full rate around august.

    You can work the dock if you bid for Dock/cdl combo----and those guys make bank----they are the ones with the Cadillac Escallades, Lincoln Navigators etc. 'Lil too much work for me. i pretty much just want to drive, not that i'm against a little dock work.

    Almost all of the city drivers here do some dock work, especially the junior drivers. I must say, that it is my least favorite part of the job. But, that will change soon as we are looking for 2 more city drivers and a dock worker, and that will help lighten the load some.

    It seems things really vary from terminal to terminal.

    I usually check out the bid sheets (city and road) when I go to different terminals at night to see how they differ from my terminal and it's night and day how different the city operations are between them.

    It all depends on customer needs, staffing levels, and management styles at each location. Each terminal is run like a separate business, and they all have to do things a little differently to be successful.

    For instance, we have one city start time earlier than all the others for the sole purpose of servicing one particular customer who needs their freight super early in order to run their own routes. Other terminals have some real oddball city bids which suggest they're trying to cover customer needs on important accounts.
