Would you experienced drivers in here rather drive for Walmart or UPS tractor trailer? and why? I have connections at both and could possibly get a job at both places, but i can't decide! Thanks!

S M D and Straight Stacks Thank this. -
Hmmm which one would I want...Poison Ivy or Poison Sumac...
Al. Roper, G.Anthony, lots of character and 1 other person Thank this. -
Walmart if you are a company driver. UPS like Fed ex spends too much time in the ditches during winter. Why pull light weight doubles and triples on ice?

UPS tops out at around $35 per hour right now. Plus overtime. And home every day. The guys at the top of the scale who don't want to work a lot make around $80k. Most are making over $100k.
Walmart is a one of the best gigs around in a sleeper truck. I have heard they treat their private fleet drivers really well. And that they don't have to deal with much BS.
A friend of mine works at UPS and said he could help me get on, but said it is a miserable environment and he would feel guilty helping me get a job there. He is only just now getting some respect from his managers after working there 2 full years. He says he is only there for the money.
It depends on what is important to you.chalupa Thanks this. -
UPS too much like military.....they know their stuff for sure but.....and overall probably make more with Brown but I still vote Wally.
So your saying you can walk in off the street into a Brown TT? No PT sorting line waiting for a van to come open? And no years in a van waiting for a TT?
Impressive..... -
I thought I read somewhere that Walmart does not allow you to use your cell phone while driving even if you have a hands free device. That would suck I think not to be able to talk while driving killing a little time.
I read that you have to agree to showing them your cell phone records if they ask
I am not sure this is even true but I read it on here somewhere , someone feel free to post if they know if this is true. -
Mattflat362 and Fajo Thank this.
