    Not sure about feeders. Something close to $40 an hour and around $10 an hour into the pension but that’s just a estimate based on what I’ve heard.

    Dang.... they were hiring for feeder cover driver a while ago in my area. Starting pay was $26.16 and had to be available to work 7 days a week at anytime.

    What the hell kind of insurance cost $3600 a month? I pay a tad bit over $100 a month for ALL of my benefits, health, dental, vision, life insurance, i checked every box and maxed out all coverage's and Im still only paying about $100 a MONTH. I dont know where you are getting this info that employer provided health insurance costs thousands a month.

    What’s the schedule like? The barn I’m looking at advertises the OTR Regional 5 on 2 off deal.

    He's talking about buying the same coverage on your own as what UPS offers. I don't think it would cost $3600 a month but I could be wrong. My guess is around $2500 or so. Maybe a little more.
    UPS plan is BCBS $0 deductible $1000 yearly out of pocket for single $2000 for family. $10 copay for doctor's visits. Unless you go to CVS walk in clinic there's no copay.
    Prescriptions are $1 to max $5.
    If it's considered maintenance...something you need all the time, then it's $0.....free.
    Many procedures are 100% free.
    Having a baby is 100% covered and more.

    It's definitely not cheap.

    The OTR schedule is you have a start day let's say Tuesday, you work 5 days or longer if you want. Hotels every night and then you get home for two days. I know great money can be made right off the bat. 3k mile weeks is attainable from what I have heard, depending on where they send you.
     
    speedyk Thanks this.
