    I would look into yard jockeying. You're going to have to make a sacrifice if going to school is your main priority. Then your job is going to have to be second. Truth be told you might need to find another line of work to accomplish your goal.

    Not even close brother. We had to get language on our contract at UPS to try to limit days to 9.5 hours and they still don't do it ...they just pay the double time.

    Where does UPS have these 8 hour jobs? Lemme back that up, at my hub you could get a 8 hour trip with about 20 years in.

    Most people can't touch a decent run in feeders without 20+ years. At 15 years the run I had available to me was West Chester PA to New Stanton PA and back....that ain't 8 hours lol.

    If college is your main goal and you need something that works around your schedule, I would also agree on Temp Service's. You can pick and choose when you want to work...maybe just on the weekends only.

    Same goes with Uber or Lyft. Pick and choose when you want to work and how much.

    Or work part time at an LTL company as a dockworker. Many LTL's have part-time dockworkers. Pitt Ohio has 5 hour part-time dockworker/yard jockey. UPS Freight also hires part-time dockworkers too. I've talked to many kids who worked part-time loading and unloading trucks while they we're attending school.

    Penske and Ryder also have part-time hiker positions, where you just shuttle trailers from hub to hub.

    Mail Contractor's...you might want to look into other carriers. Around my area, we have all kinds of contractor's that offer part-time 3-4 hour runs or weekends only. Ask around, as I'm sure you get a chance talk to other contractors at your job.
