UPS is a good company to be a driver. If you start as a cover driver its starting at 33 an hour. After 4 years you go to 40 an hour (wages adjusted every year too for inflation)
But you can make double that doing sleeper team runs or mileage. If you do sleeper team runs you can literally make as much as some doctors. Im talking around 250k a year and they still cant find enough people to do it!
I'm going with a mega carrier. Their HQ is practically in my backyard. Good rates, reasonable salaries, the full enchilada. Then maybe I'll work for walmart as a driver I hear they make bank, plus home time is nice.
Walmart is another good one because but they have to pay for their health insurance too which can be expensive. Have you gotten your CDL permit yet? If not truckercountry the website has all the answers to the permit test on their website. I got my CDL in 5 days just by taking their practice tests over and over and I'm redneck and slow. Never picked up a book

FedEX is ok too but you have to pay insurance.

I'm waiting on passing all possible drug tests. Hair, urine etc. Didnt know delta 8 showed up on hair tests :/
So I'm just playing it safe so I can have a well paying career.

Yeah it's a bitch and I dont think they would just accept me based on my word of declaring that I'm off that sauce.
So playing it safe is the best practice at the moment.
