Benefits are great, even for part time loaders.

Years of experience. Experienced guys get routes with large trucks where they make few deliveries and finish in fewer hours

Holyyyy Frick, ac truck or not. $170k plus benefits aint bad.

This is propaganda btw. That's working well over 40 hours a week at the top end of the UPS pay scale and also includes value of benefits in the number. So the very top end drivers working the most hours are making like 100-110 in salary and the new fellas and average workers are far below this.
Still good money, but a misleading headline.

That’s including all the benefits monetized. Ask HR what your full benefit package is worth and they’ll show you a crazy number .

They do go through hell though…. Just driving around any big city would almost be not worth it.

Knew a guy in high school as dumb as they come, he got a UPS job in the late 80's making $60,000 + full benefits etc etc etc
Way more than all us smart guys who went to college were making right out of school back then

Thing is with UPS drivers, everything over 8 hrs a day is overtime, not like most jobs where you need to have over 40 hrs a week to collect OT.
My buddy is a UPS guy, he does well, like I said in the other thread, he’ll work 10-12 hours a day putting in over 60 hours a week.
But he’s not making $170k. More like 110-120.. and he’s busting his arse..

Y’all do realize that number is the total benefits package for an over the road team truck driver not the delivery driver right?

Have you not noticed the quality of the drivers? They look and sound educated, and this goes back to when I was a kid.
I can imagine the job is grueling though. You are slammed every day all day like Galatoire's at 7:30 the night before the Sugar Bowl.
