In desperate need of something new

my bro-in-law works at UPS. i personally know a couple of UPS former drivers. those guys get "about" 5 grand a month, they are teamsters 251. my bro-in-law, working part time mind you, just unloading/reloading the trucks at night) got a letter in the mail, he can retire in (i think 3 more years, and get "about" $3,000 on a part time pay....!!!!

that's where i got those numbers from.

i was thinking that pepsi was also teamsters. i am sure they are "up here" in New England.

 

They aren't Teamsters in most of the country. Most definitely non union in the south and west.

Pepsi has their own pension It isnt very good.

 

Home City Ice may be worth looking at. They have two locations in Atlanta. Same type of work but mostly to outdoor merchandisers and only two products to deliver. Pay can be good if you can hustle. I drove for them for 5 years.

 

oh...then i can see the o/p not wanting to stay....cuz man, it's a very good pension.

 

UPS still has a good and for now, secure pension. You must not get out much because Teamsters does not usually equal a good pension anymore in most cases, read up on central states.

 

Awesome! Good luck. There's a chance they'll stick you in their training program as if you're a dock-to-driver candidate since you don't have a year experience yet, but that's no big deal. You're in a good position, knowing what real work is. Drivers who go into LTL P&D from easy jobs tend to not handle it as well as food/beverage drivers, who are usually grateful and consider it easy work.

 

Just got into an ltl company myself being a beer jockey. It’s freaking gravy bro if you have former beverage/food experience. I recently found out though I can’t back for sh**

 

Was that call from a recruiter or a TM? Usually a recruiter will call you first and ask you a few simple questions about your license and endorsements, then your app is sent to the TM to review.
