I'm starting as "seasonal package delivery driver" in OCT 2015, hope it will turn into permanent, Question though, if i'm become full time package driver...do I have to wait 1 yr before I bid into Feeder jobs?
Can you bid into Feeder positions at other terminals? For instance I worked in Denver hub, can I bid onto Englewood or Aurora Feeder jobs opening?? Thanks
The chance of getting into Feeder positions is enticing, but the waiting time is unknown
I do have CDL, but i'm reluctant of whether to go with UPS or Old Dominion.
Weekly Settlement estimate:
OD Linehaul = (2700mi x 0.56cpm) / 70hrs recap = $21.60 / hr OR $1512/wk
UPS seasonal package driver = (18.75 x 40) + (18.75 x 1.5 x 10) = $1031/wk
UPS double gross income?

That $0.81 cpm is equivalent to flatbed owner op would make at Landstar, but min 4yrs waiting time . But with benefits package UPS years ahead from being an owner op.
Anyone know avg miles / week most Feeder at UPS makes? will try to find at browncafe.

A truck payment can be pricey. One can get a cheaper truck but repair costs most likely will increase with that, and whatever downtime goes along with that.
The mileage pay for feeder tops out in three years hourly in four. There is an $.80 raise in 2017 and a $1.00 raise for the hourly rates which makes it $36.75 and hour by late 2017. I believe the mileage pay will get raises too, don't know how much.
Another thing to factor in for feeder mileage pay is delays. Delays are paid by the hourly rate. Time and a half if the delay is a home domcile.
Then there's the bennies. Pension, health insurance etc.Josh_ Thanks this. -
Mileage runs are over 500 miles a day to 600 plus miles. Some hubs have runs over 600 miles.
All runs are turns. Home everyday.Josh_ Thanks this. -
First year hourly is $18.75 for Feeder? Pic below is from Browncafe,

Here's one of his comment along with his pay stub:
http://www.browncafe.com/community/threads/question-about-feeder-pay.355633/
"I got my first check as a feeder driver. I came from part time in the hub. The amount I got paid was what I figured it to come out to, but it still has me marked as my 'current pay rate' the same as I was getting in the hub. Does it just stay listed as my hub pay rate until I obtain seniority in Feeders or is it some computer mistake that I need to get corrected? All the money adds up to what I expected to make, but I just want my feeder pay rate on the check, so I will know where I am. Anyone ever had this happen when they started?"
His settlement for the week: $1577.45 / 45.52 = $ 34.65 / hr
So he just started out as a Feeder, and his first paycheck hourly a whopping $34.65/hr
I would stick around with UPS for sure if 1st paycheck avg $34.65/hr for Feeder

Right now I just can't decide if i want to go with Old Dominion, or stick around with UPS....in hope of getting into Feeder position within a year or so(suburb location). Your opinion please....
OD Linehaul = (2700mi x 0.56cpm) / 70hrs recap = $21.60 / hr OR $1512/wk
UPS seasonal package driver = (18.75 x 40) + (18.75 x 1.5 x 10) = $1031/wk
***OD would give me tractor-trailer experience....which i can then apply back to UPS as a Feeder(Tractor Trailer Driver) which required 1yr min which is a requirement on web application.Last edited: Sep 28, 2015

As for what you should do....it's a crap shoot. At OD you will start off at a higher rate and be a full time employee. At UPS, you're just seasonal and there is nothing to gaurantee you becoming full time. Lots of people don't. You may never make it full time, and never get into feeders.
It's a crap shoot. Tough decision.Josh_ Thanks this. -
Also that check stub is a goof up one way or another.
Josh_ Thanks this. -
Long-term plan is to own late model truck and contract it out to: http://www.drive4roadrunner.com/rr-lp-2015/oo-truckload-rrtruckload.phpLast edited: Sep 29, 2015
