    Sorry, I'm having a hard time believing that one too. Union contracts don't work like that. A driver of 38 years makes the wage as a driver of 10 years.

    Home time shouldn't be you focus when your new to any trucking job. If you want to be home everyday, stay on the dock and don't drive.

    Geeze, it's just a question, and a legitimate one at that. I'm getting the impression that a few of you on here are bitter about the lack of home time you're getting at your current job.

    Well that's what his stubs said, and he also was not a teamster, he was in the operators union, local 150. He started with them before the teamsters took effect at UPS so maybe that had something to do with it???

    Thanks, man. It is, after all, the internet where communication is limited to just words on a screen, without body language, tone of voice, etc. Please feel free to express all the truth you want because I'm all ears.

    Its still BS. Maybe he got double time one day or something. No driver at UPS makes $52 an hour.

    Like Stoney said, in union shops, all of the drivers make the same wage, unless they arent at "top pay" yet. UPS Feeder drivers make somewhere around $31-32, certainly not $52.

    I hate overly gullible people.
