UPS, FedEx, JB Hunt or TMC? Help!

FedEx Freight... depending on whether you applied for a P&D or Linehaul...P&D you'll start off around $22-24 an hour and top out around $26-28 (depending on location) and get OT after 8 or 40. Linehaul you top out in around .62-65 cpm (somewhere in the .60 cent range).

UPS Freight Truckload I THINK pays around .42-46 cpm (somewhere in the .40 cent rage) where as Union Linehaul drivers top out around .70 cpm for Linehaul and around $29 an hour for P&D. BIG difference between Non Union Truckload and Union Linehaul...as far as pay is concerned.

 

Any trucking job that has dollar in it, run away.

 

ups, two of my sons work for UPS, one at UPS brown, the other UPS freight they both make over 100k, in NJ, UPS brown always puts on temp driver around nov-jan,.

 

I agree. Give it a try. The other companies will still be there if you need them later.

 

Look for @Russian Rabbit posts
He work for ups freight and is doing very well
Well above 75k

 

Depends on where you live. If you live in a heavy steel mill area I would chose TMC. I live in a heavy steel area I drove flatbed then left and worked for a steel mill. There are only 2 of us that drive for the mill. We are local and are considered steel mill employees. The pay is phenomenal to do nothing but turn that wheel. Back to your question I would do flatbed but not with a mega carrier like TMC. They have garbage freight. Look for a more family owned outfit. They will take so much better care of you. Weather you choose flatbed or van go with a small outfit so you don’t go poor and get burned by them
