I have a start date for a new job at fuel hauling company that delivers to Chevron. From my research, pay is decent but benefits not so great. Local route.
While waiting for my start date I recieved a call for an interview with USPS for Class A driver. So I'm excited but conflicted. It's a federal job so obviously great benefits. But I'm not so sure what the pay is and can't find much at all about the salary.
I'm going to go to the interview and try to learn as much as possible about the position. If I somehow get lucky and they offer me the job, I'm wondering if I should take it. But that would mean possibly burning a bridge with the company that just hired me. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Not sure what I should choose between two jobs

tight stations, sometimes small gas stations, traffic, ignorant drivers that will not let you into the stations. working outdoors in all sorts of weather
USPS..??
good benefits, pay is low to start, very good equipment, usually terminal to terminal, OT when it's there, especially holiday seasons.
if it were me, i'd go USPS, and stay cool or warm and most certainly DRY.......austinmike, justcarhaulin, Suspect Zero and 4 others Thank this. -
Another Canadian driver and buddyd157 Thank this.

Is the USPS job actually with them or through somebody that is contracted to them?
Suspect Zero, N00bLaLoosh, tscottme and 3 others Thank this. -
How low? Is it so low that you can't make a living? I can't imagine that the pay would be too low to make a living. I wouldn't so much be concerned about the here and now if you can pay your bills with what they are offering. What's it going to look like 5 years from now? Maybe the raises will get you where you want to be in that amount of time or less.

meaning, it is a contract job, which can be lost with the snap of a finger.
the USPS, is for life, unless you screw up.
you can always transfer to an inside job later in life if you want, for easier work
can't do that with a contractor that has to bid on that contract every xx number of years...
USPS...job security
Fuel contractor for Chevron........hold you thumb up your butt for your future.TankerYanker36 and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
