    At those rates, why would ANYONE ever leave to buy a truck?

    Well, I certainly wouldn't. But other people have, and have done well.

    It’s a great wage, but like the old saying goes, 80cpm on 150 miles a day, ain’t that great!

    Those runs that pay mileage are typically over 500 miles. Everything else is hourly.

    My Dad's friend works @ UPS in N.C., he's been there many many years, I think he gets 9 weeks vacation, or something like that, maybe I'm wrong, but anything over 6 weeks a year is freaking awesome.

    Screw oil fields. Never can trust it with it being determined through the government. My buddy was at a big oil company and got laid off when Covid crap hit. Now he’s at UPS as feeder team. More work and miles then he can handle. He’s pretty happy he got laid off from the oil company or he wouldn’t of made the move.
