Hey Guys I have had interviews with both UPS and FedEx Freight Tractor trailer jobs. Both are interested in me. The UPS is a great job with a union and full benefits plus pension. I will be doing runs to the airport city pick ups and dock work.. But the pay is only $19 hr but in 3yrs it goes way up. The FedEx job is also good with benefits a pension and the pay is up in the $20's.. I will be a city pick up and delivery driver. Both are great careers but I don't know how I would pay my bills waiting for 3 yrs. So I was thinking FedEx. Which one would you go with..this is a hard decision. Please any help, info on these companies would be great..
UPS or FedEx Freight???????

Ups. It's worth it on the long run

If you can not pay your bills on $19.00 per hour you need to sell something!
skinnytrucker and TequilaSunrise Thank this. -
I would go with UPS, it would be much better in the long run IMO.. That's if you could stand eating beans for a few years..

Read up on glassdoor, fedex freight is rated at a 3.7 review with job satisfaction and ups freight is at about 2.7. I had an interview with UPS a few weeks ago and was offered a non job kinda job. Work sometimes until something opens up. I'm currently waiting on fedex. Just keep in mind that just because there is a pension now doesn't promise one in the future or at least a good one anyway. With a good company match with 401k and diversifying with other investments you could probably do even better than the pension.
My opinion is no job is a guarantee. What happens if you get let go before 3 years and you spent all that time being broke just to not have a job in the end. Just something to think about.TequilaSunrise and Sho Nuff Thank this. -
UPS is a great job if you can handle the pressure and micro managing. I turned them down a few years ago. One of the things I like most about this industry is the freedom. At buster brown you'll be another "whipping boy"
