- It was 145k previously
- That 170k figure includes the cost other things like health insurance afaik. Not take-home pay
- It's for drivers that have been working for UPS for like 5+ years
- The job is not 9-5
- You will suffer the physical effects of the job eventually
- Your long hours, quotas, and fatigue from work means you have a decent chance you'll eventually get in a car accident. This could be even worse than the physical strain of the job

Don't get me wrong. It's still better than working at mcdonalds or some shit. But you're not taking home $170k. At 5+ years of being a driver maybe you're taking home $80k pre-tax

I get it’s not for everyone, but people are so fucking lazy nowadays. So much of biz is filled with how can I get 5 wfh jobs and nab up 400k+ a year. I’ll be honest, it’s fucking based for those who can achieve it but it’s not realistic for 99% of people. I’m 23 and was in position to nab 100k salary earlier this year as a manual laborer/driver. No debt, no skills, just drive fucking truck and unload said truck.

Well, the way I understand it is that the top money is for fulltimers. And it's a bitch to get a full time position even before the raises.

I work in the hub. I'll be getting just under 25/hr part time. I'm pretty happy with that. I hated the fucking job and went on disability leave before covid.

Pretty much this. I've done nearly every job at UPS. If you like driving, feeders is where it's at, as you make the same as a delivery driver but don't have to lift a single box ever.

I got out of driving as I realized they don't age well at all.. plus it's hard to hold a family life. You're constantly under stress of making time, dealing with bad drivers, power walking everywhere etc.
It's a good way to make full time tho.
Then you can transfer to a cushy inside position like me and just make a little less but no stress.

At the end of this contract drivers will make $49 an hour, which is about 102k without overtime. Building workers will make around $43.44 which is just over 90k. I'll take that over breaking my body down for 30 years just for an extra 12k.

If you're young, I'd say drive for 4 years to get overtime and get top pay rate.. and if your near an air hub, work there because the air ramp feels like a completely different company. They just want you safe around the planes and don't rush you.
