8 years driving and I quit 2 years ago. I had top pay as well. Now I fly planes and make 4x more no stress. Never looked back. Division manager said I could never do better than UPS lol. He’s still in that sweaty warehouse slaving. I’m living my best life.
How'd you make that transition?
Saved up for 2 years. Took all the OT I could get. If you’re gonna get in to aviation you should have at least 75k for flight training. Demand is so high you’ll have a job before you get your commercial license.
@ibiro868 man I nesdd to see this I been driving for 5 years and my goal is to get into aviation
Straight motivation brother! 💪👍 People talk the talk, but you walked the walk! ✊
I’m at 18 in and 7 as driver and im ready to leave that place after getting hurt and them not wanting to pay me workers comp even though it was on job. They are evil.
As a current UPS employee (fleet mechanic) I started a business when I started there in 2018 and now my business is fucking killing it. I can not wait to just wash my hands of this shithole. The insurance is about the only thing holding me here. Good for you! My ass isn’t far behind you.
What business did you start ?
Mobile fleet repair.
Golden handcuffed driver here. I am very proud of you my guy
Not the golden handcuffs smh
Glad to hear you're pursing your channel full time! I'm hear to support it. The grassroots drifting community is dope, humble and you guys help each other out to no end.
My dad quit his corporate job when I was 5 years old. I grew up being able to go talk to him pretty much at any time of the day when I was home. From the perspective of being that kid it's no doubt the right choice. Congrats
it takes a big man to share big stuff, thank you for the honesty. congratulations on your freedom!
Man. That was super real. I don’t know what it is about your channel, but it’s so good and I am honestly so happy for you.
9.5 list could’ve fix the excess overtime. I would had file a grievance with the union every week! I been with the company for 18 years.
Man, I can't even remember how long I've been following you. I know it was long enough back that we were a fill in driver posting snap stories everyday and Ebony had orange BBS's because I saw her out in the parking lot at IA for the first time and geeked out. Big props bro, i'm happy for you!
Hey Black, I went to Oxnard High with you back in the day. It's great to see you growing. I just want to share that back in 2016, I did the same thing, and initially, it was tough. I almost regretted it after the second year, but I persevered and came back stronger.
Working at UPS for $46 in Atlanta is good pay. It's almost better than what most people earn here in Cali without a college degree or trade, and you know the cost of living is a bit lower out there. But hey, if you set your mind to it, things will work out. Just remember, there will be ups and downs. Stay strong through the tough times and don't doubt yourself. Don't let others doubt you either. You can achieve your vision if you stay focused! Good luck, man!
I have no idea why UA-cam suggested this video but I’m glad it did. I know exactly what you’re going through while I’m not a UPS employee I am a current Teamster who’s day to day life has been sucked into the matrix of working so much because that money is so good yet it did more mental and emotional damage to me. The statement you made towards the end is exactly how I feel sometimes but folks like you give me hope that my outside ventures will allow me to one day make a video saying f this job. Salute to you and you have a new subscriber 💪🏾
Congrats nephew. Proud of you. Go get it!
Drove in eastern iowa for 6 years. After 2021, this company changed. No HR. 3rd party hiring. Profit sharing for management. Everything for the shareholder, instead of the customer. Routes changing, lay-offs, contract violations, strike threat, and retaliation... I was having nightmares. I'd just jump into the truck and start delivering. And the back would never empty, and management would just say you have to get it all done. I missed out on years. I lost friends, and my family became distant. All for what... for a 401k that lost money. I bought some sprinter vans, started an LLC, logged into the local freight boards and moved on. 2/8/24 was my last day. Now I've been to 20 states, making less money overall. Gotta pay for my own insurance 😂 but I'll take it
The older we get the more we value time over money. It takes a big person to omit his struggles and I’m glad you put this out because I’ve been feeling the same way and I think you just pushed me to make some changes in my own life.
I’ll keep watching and supporting the best I can man!
Congrats on making the move. 4 year ups driver here and I know the truth to everything you’re saying bro. I’m right there with you! Congrats and enjoy the freedom 🎉
Black, I’m extremely proud of you man. I would always watch your stories on IG and just couldn’t believe how hard you work. All day at UPS then going home to grind some more on your businesses. You’re truly an inspiration to many, a lot of us are rooting for you man. Be happy brotha it’s well deserved. Chase your dreams, life is too short not to.🙇♂️🙏
Cheers man. I worked in retail parts management for twenty years before calling it quits to be happy. Here’s the thing, you can always go back if you have to. Get right, be happy, and do what’s best for you. Look forward to your content.
Yo Black! Congrats on quitting the “adult job”. I’ve been there and know what it feels like to have a good paying job but missing out on more important things in life. The most valuable commodity that any of us has is our time and really no price can be put on that. I wish you and Sam all the best and will do all I can to support your journey. BIG Love Homie 🖤
I'm so happy for you man, discovered your channel a few years ago and hoped some day this would be the chance for you to do this full time. I'm a Teacher full time and also run my channel, I pull many late nighters just to make it feasible, it's taxing for sure but the hours are much more ideal, I enjoy teaching and I get a ton of breaks etc. Imagining the hours you were putting in and near all nighters to run the channel, plus having it push ou to edge like that, I feel for you and wish you all the success possible with your channel and future endeavors. I appreciate your openness and vulnerability in sharing what you did, not easy.... but... YOU GOT THIS!
"We run tings, tings nuh run we" Congrats on taking that leap of faith! You've got the recipe right, now you have the time to pour some gas on this thing and really get it going to the next level! Can't wait to see where you go from here.
I got your back, Bro! 25 years PT. People always ask me why I don't drive. Somedays I can hardly bear doing 4-5 hours! I don't think I would make it on a truck doing 9 - 10 hours!
I work 70 hour weeks between 2 jobs and make less than you did, but at least I have some breathing room when I need it.
I love your videos! This it the start of something epic! Be happy!
25 years as part time sorter is crazy
Im Happy you are pursuing your career. Do more what you love and Spend endless time with your family because you deserve it.
You've made an awesome decision. I support, 100 percent
Congratulations Justin!!!
This is truly inspiring to see you took a chance with yourself. Good shit bro, you deserve to be happy, it’s your birth right. Maximize yourself and develop that happiness!
You've just gained a subscriber. As a fellow black man I wish you the utmost best towards your endeavors. I just want to be happy too.
If feel your brother , I’m a 19 year ups driver, I did 11 as a package car driver and everything that your saying is true , luckily I got into feeders in 2018 and never looked back package, I don’t miss the long days and mostly I don’t miss the constant harassment by management ever morning talk about over allowed and spors. I wish much success to you.
What's feeders? I'm interested in being a UPS Driver.
@@davidcervantez2577 tractor trailer drivers aka feeder driver
@@seandp85 ohhhh CDL Drivers. How is the big rig fleet? Do they use old/new or a mix of big rigs?
@@davidcervantez2577 yes class A cdl with doubles and triples endorsements, and ups tractor trailer fleet is a mixture of old and new trucks, as old as 2012 and as new as 2024.
Jumping off the cliff is a success story!!! I am 16yrs in and next month i did the same move. Vacation pay to go to Africa and I aint coming back to work! Go get happy brotha! 🤝🏿🙌🏾👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Hell yeah dude! I’m fucking proud of you putting your self and family first. It’s tough to make that choice! But you have great people around you, and the drive to make it!
Full support from someone who has been searching for a "career" since highschool, only to be taken advantage of by almost every single company I've worked for. Some big companies, some small but a good bit of them made sure I felt as little as possible. Your words resonate with many, plus we have the same hobbies. Subbed.
Been through this about a year and a half ago, I feel your pain. Crazy how much a crappy/toxic work environment can ruin your life. Take some time to reset and stay true to your roots, man. You’ll find a way 💪🏼
I can respect someone who sets goals and achieve them. As a fellow UPSer and getting ready to retire next year I feel you on wanting to be happy. Follow your dreams and not the rat race. Congrats on breaking through mental chain.
it's a man's job it is not for everybody
Not a mans job, its a slaves job.
No, it’s a slave job. Not for anyone lol. I could be more targeting and say it’s for the less fortunate or uneducated also. A salary just above the national average, a bad back/posture, bad knees and time consuming. Let’s keep it real. A man’s job is combat.
Ups is definitely not for everyone. I’ve been with the company for going on 7 years and driving for going on 6 years and I absolutely love what I do. Everyone always asks, what’s the hardest part of your job and I tell them dealing with management. I’m on the 9.5 list and I file every week that I go over that third day. But good for you and I wish you the best of luck in your journey of being an entrepreneur.
17 years here and I doubt you are truly enjoying it that much. Unless you got a cake route and don’t work in heat that is half the misery dripping sweat just driving down a road
Well wishes dude. I think many have seen and gone through similar stories. You cannot put a price on happiness. Press forward and follow the light.
Hey man!!! I’m so proud of you for this. It’s such a big step. Truthfully, I didn’t believe you yesterday - but secretly hoped you were actually doing it. Self employment is the MOVE!!! Congrats, dude. I’ll see you soon.
This is fucking awesome to see dude, love to see someone chase their dreams. Keep grinding!
He made a big mistake!
UPS has top notch benefits/retirement plan!
Congrats my E36 brother. Good luck on the new full time journey. Will definitely continue to support you.
Proud of you. The hardest part is taking the leap. Chase your dreams. Choose happiness. Life is too special and too short not to.
Thank you for your candor
My son moved into a management position and loves it
He’s been there 10 years
I worked as a seasonal employee once and I had fun
Blk blessings 510 🙏🏿
Congrats Dude! Grind on!
Currently delivering for an amazon DSP and only been doing it for 3 months and wanna bounce. Props to you for sticking it out for that long and good to see you doing your thing brother 💪🏻
I quit my job a little over 3 years ago. I understand this. 💯
Congratulations man!! Can't replace time with family!!
Way to go Black!! You'll prosper way more on your own. Working for the man is just that. Pursue your dreams bro.
Happy for you I know what it’s like to work somewhere and not be happy. Enjoy your journey and hope your channel grows into the millions, you deserve it.
Congratulations on making the jump….i been a truck driver for awhile and I felt the same way. You’ll have a more fulfilled life doing your own thing 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
This is true with any job. I’ve only had 3 jobs and I’m 38. For me after 7-10 years something about doing the same thing I think the human mind suffers and starts finding reasons to quit and find something else. Sometimes the change is needed for one’s mental and physical health and there is nothing wrong with that. I don’t like when people try to Dog a place that supported them for a long period of time though. If you work for anyone else there are always going to be cons to that job. There isn’t one company in the world in business where there main goal is to make their employees as happy as they can and pay them the most money, that’s just not the way it works. Keeping a positive mindset and always being the best person you can be for yourself and your family should always be our main goal
Massive congrats again man. Praying for continued/improved peace of mind bro. Can't wait to keep seeing what's next
Good luck on your journey homie from a former P-Dale package loader
That delivery job is like a hamster on it's wheel. Amazon was such a depressing loop hole. Proud of you for not caving in and ending it. WE ALL LOVE YOU!!
Respect man. Wish you the best in your new endeavors!!! Im excited to see you navigate this new chapter!
Congrats on making the leap to a better life
He made a big mistake!
UPS has top notch benefits/retirement plan!
I’m glad you are pursuing your dreams my bro, God bless and I hope you so much success. I know how it feels to drive for UPS, i currently driver for them and it’s true, you get no time whatsoever after work.
Sometimes the peace and happiness is better than the money. Happy for you brotha
Good for you!
I worked at UPS 3 times for less than 5 years total. The money and benefits were great, but to quote an older country pop song, “Little Sister Rolls 18 Wheels,” “…It makes a good living, but it ain’t much of a life.”
I never found a home there. I referred to it as “the job that I lived to hate” - it has the best people, the worst managers and very few ”Leaders.”
Life is worth living and I’m sure you have started….
If you don't take a chance you will never know what could have been I remember seeing your video on ebony when you cried from joy that shit hit home man you where so proud of yourself that all that matters man keep it going man good luck
dawg i worked at Fedex for a month last year and its been the most hellish job ive ever had NEVER again, u had 11 years driving w 200+ stops tho? I COULDNT EVEN DO 70!! insane props to u brotha, happy to see u striving further for wat u really want.
Shit, FEDEX GROUND is easy but DAWGSHIT PAY....
@@robsnizzle7 I came in w the intention I was gunna be paid what was advertised come to find out they were hiring for the hardest route cuz the guy quit, they reduced my expected pay cuz I wasn’t fast enough per hour even while I nearly passed out from a heat stroke n had an anxiety attack
@@gattsudon oh, I feel yuh.... regrettably I'm lucky to get 35hrs a WEEK.... I WAS WORKIN 60HRS A WEEK BEFORE THIS JOB...
I believe in you man! I’m a trucker and have to unload my semi as well. So I know what you are going through man
I like how real you keep it with viewers
A lot of these people hide what they really do
Good on you for leaving UPS. My brother use to work for UPS and he quit as well, because he said that for the amount of work that you put in and the effort that you put in they under value you. Now he works for the county and gets more pay and less stress.
Also he said the working conditions sucks, specially driving in a moving microwave oven cooking in your own body fluids sucks.
Pussies
Yes it gets 144 degrees in that brown truck when it’s 105-110 out with no A\C I used all my vacation then went on disability and I don’t know if I’m gonna go back …. It’s miserable
Inspired by this to pull in the same direction. Glad that you were able to overcome. I have faith in all your success to come. Stay undefeated.
You're an inspiration, more and more people should take note. Mental health over material health
Congrats homie! You’ll make it!!
Not going to tell you what you’re doing is awesome. Not going to tell you best of luck.
I’m just going to buy some merch and let my $$$ do the talking. Go get it!! ✊🏾💪🏾
Always do what is right for you and yours brother. Nothing else matters period.
26 years at ups 6 part time 20 full time time . I’m 44 years old. I still got another 16 more years 😢 proud of you 💪
Really happy for you. A lot of years of hard work and late nights. You deserve to be happy and have the drive/talents to be successful on your own.
Here for the full time channel support. Been following you since IA 2015, met you IA 2016 (Shout out B.Smith). We killed 'em in beer pong that year, you gave me wheel advice later on, you have my full support. LESSGO IB GARAGE
Good for you dude! Life’s too short to work a shit job and not enjoy your life. I wish you the best of luck
think it's an age thing. You value time more than the dollar. Congrats man. You got this
stay strong dude, your happiness makes us happy
Thats wild man! I remember us chatting late nights in the WL back in the day before you started there. Congrats on moving on dude, I'm sure it's as easy as it was hard.
congrats on the move bro!! Super inspirational
I'm an unloader and found your video. Still probably gonna try to become a driver but yeah, not sticking around for 30+ years like some of these geezers. Try to save up and invest my money and get out. Would love to take a trip to Japan right now but can't without more vacation time (which I don't have). *Its funny how you work to get money but once you get money, you don't have the time to spend it*
Looking forward to seeing your journey. Like you said, money ain’t everything depending on where your mental health is. Congrats
Proud of you bro. You said a date at one of the Christmas parties and stuck to it💪🏼
Hey bro! Very happy for you! Things will come to you as they should with your dedication and discipline towards your own business. Im glad to hear you’re happy. Thats all that matters in life.
Being out on the road can really burn you down I get. Looking forward too see this new journey you got this ✊🏽
You said you were quitting when I came over for the Christmas party. Glad you followed through. I just quit my calibration job. We're finally traveling. I started uploading videos for a little bit but it's go time now. In one year I'm going to have more watch hours than you (a little healthy competition)
Looking forward to the future dude!
I was a delivery driver for Budweiser for 4 years I had to leave for the same reasons. People don’t understand how taxing that shit is. Happy for you brother!
What do you do now?
Definitely happy for you man. Im right there with you, I work 12 hrs overnight at a hospital and this shits for the birds. I don't make nearly as much as you did and I've been wanting to walk away, I do patient care assistant and I make only $15.46 an hr. We deal with twice as much work as any nurse but get paid half of what they do. Nurses make from $22 an hr up to $48 only to deal with 2 to 5 people any night and all they really do is pass out medication and change IV's. We deal with 12-24 a night and do everything else we're supposed to do on top of what they feel isn't a nurses job. Health care since the "cough heard around the world" has become a joke and it's full of lazy people who want a check. They're not here to care for people, at some point like you said it not even about the money it's about the happiness and there's none here. I'm a father of twin boys and I hardly get time with them because when I'm going to sleep they're waking up, when I'm up the whole family is going to sleep or already passed out. I can't really be an active father or man to my girl because they're on one schedule and I'm on another. If I change up my sleep schedule it takes me about 2 or 3 weeks to get back in track with it and in that time I'm an angry person because of lack of sleep. 13 and a half hrs each day are dedicated to getting ready for work going to and from work and actual work, 6 hrs for sleep, leaving me with about 5 hrs a day for family and me time. Im giving way to much of my time up to a job and not enough to my family who I do the damn job for. I dream of the day I can give everyone the middle finger and leave or put in all my pto and never come back
Been watching the show for a long time on my various different UA-cam channels salute and congrats on your power move.
Big shock to hear but even bigger things to come! Wish you the best man and continue doing what makes you happy! Hope to see you out at riverside this weekend too if you've got anything planned for it👀
Proud of you man! I’m about to start vlogging making drift/ car content. Hope to see you at C&O 🤘🏾
Also being a trucker I can agree the money don’t matter. Having a life over money.
been silently tuned in for 2 sum years now. you have what it takes, its obvious to anybody paying attention. I just wanna put this here as evidence that i was here before you go all the way hollywood 😝
Congratulations bro!! Keep building your legacy! 💪🏾
Oh yeah so you’re definitely gonna have your booth at Riverside! 👀
Happy is the goal this move is scary hopefully our support keeps you going and the content good
Congratulations bro! Glad you made the right decision when you got to that point mentally, it’s all gonna work out for the better 🙏🏼. Lemme know when I can put in an order for some custom tees for my fam lol!
Congrats. Man I can’t wait to quit.. I’m working on it. It sucks especially now.. you bailed out the right time
Super motivation as someone just started out on UA-cam hope to be able to quit my job and work for myself one day! 🤘🏽🔥
I knew this wasn’t a joke. Good one on ya man! Keep going, keep growing!!
damn being in military and trying to do something similar to you and really relating to how you felt this is very inspiring!
Aye man, been following you for years(and also used to work for UPS 10+ yrs ago FUCK THAT PLACE), just wanna say I'm proud of you bro. Don't look back, ain't shit there to see!
Congrats man!
We need more episodes of Gimme Dem Keys
Damn bro I remember loading trailers with you on the purple belt before Daryl left and you would come to work with gnarly skateboard nicks and cuts, youve always been tough as nails, I know you got this.
Love ya bro! I'm happy 4 ya! Be happy! Ya family needs you to be!
That’s effin cool as long as you got a plan that you can put in motion so be it. Gotta work smart not hard!!!!!!!
