Professional Teamster Driver. Talked to this feeder driver, he has been with UPS for 31 years. No need to speed, 30 year safe driver. This is the Teamster difference.....
I pulled them up and down the East coast for 33 years for Buster Brown.Loved it and at 83 still miss it. Great job even better if you TRY to have a good time rather than bitch all the time.🦇
Just started driving feeders in August after 3 years in package cars. We have no reason to speed at all. Feeders make money for UPS by staying safe and avoiding accidents/injuries. I'm paid every minute I'm at work (minus the 30 minute lunch) with time and a half after 8 hours and I sleep in my own bed every day. Why in the hell would anyone want to live in a truck for pennies per mile, expensive yet terrible healthcare and no company pension? I don't get it. If you think you don't need a union, then stay where you are. I'm for damned sure not going anywhere.
Thanks again, I worked for swift my first year...Schneider flatbed my second year no accidents no tickets and I applied for a UPS seasonal feeder position and they hired me after my first season was over which rarely happens
I got hired off the street also. October will be a year that I’ve been here. Best job with best pay. When I drive down the road, I never wonder if another truck company would be better. I know I’m w the best. It’s a great feeling. It’s s job I take pride in. Congrats to you for joining brother!
I wouldn't say jealous at all. Thats what my wife said he was when I played the video and I told her its the opposite.. This guy knows whats up and he is trying to explain in a sarcastic way that the ups driver has it made. He knows and most do that that ups driver makes a shit ton doing less than what most other truckers do with great insurance etc. Im a UPS driver but I drive a package car so make a few dollars less.
I'm 21, no tickets clean driving record, etc. Been working in the hub unloading boxes for 3 years. I paid for my CDL, UPS road tested me. I'm now a UPS feeder driver at 21 haha. My hub needed 30 drivers, no one wants to work.
Same with mine. Did 11 months as 22.4, let ups pay for me to go from class b to class a, and I’m getting an actual route, no on call. Bet I use all 60 hrs so when the housing market crashes, I can drop 80k on a nice ass house n
@@te4bag_k1ngp1n I'm 25 now, just got hired as a full time feeder. I'm on call now, just qualified last Friday, it's Tuesday morning now. Might not get called in for a while, but I got some savings to burn.
@@Ryan_Carder YES DO NOT QUIT! The contract has them acting like asses. You’re gonna be set as long as you follow the methods to the T! ESP using that horn @ EVERY intersection.
Every once in a while your videos pop up on my radar, they're usually good for a chuckle or two. Nope, I don't need a union, I'm doing very well, thank you. I left a major fleet for a much, MUCH smaller one, with a pay increase, retirement forecast at about 62, and a management team, led by a stellar head manager, that is passionate about their drivers. In fact, they spoil us rotten. If you're happy in a union, more power to ya, but it's not for everybody.
No, it is not. Today, it is for less than 10% of all truck drivers. That is why the wages are half of other trades like ironworkers, sparkys , plumbers, carpenters..etc. And we can be sued for everything we own unlike those trades people. Go figure.
Union ups feeder drivers are lazy and cry baby’s in the real world of trucking most would be fired……without their union they would fall in line…..!!!!!!
Lol I’m a feeder driver. He has no choice but to obey the speed limit. The feeders have a speed limit limiter it only goes 68mph tops so if the speed limit is 70mph then you can’t even go that fast.
UPS feeder drivers are lazy in the real world without their union they would be fired….. they test positive for drugs and alcohol and they still retain their job…….
And how much does a yrc guy make, or Holland or reddaway? Not as much as xpo or Estes or saia that much I know for sure. Ups is the only good thing the teamsters have going for them. Also there is something called a 401k
ABF is beyond the scab outfits when you consider the medial / pension. That $30.00 / hour they pay evaporates after you pay for their scab medical and have to fund your own retirement....
@@MetalTeamster I made 1500.00 my first week driving for xpo straight out of there driving school I made 22 an hour on the dock. Had a I worked for abf I would be making 17 an hour on the dock and probably wouldn't even get a run every day for at least a year driving. I also see plenty of abf guys running on the weekend's including holiday weekends while I'm out enjoying my days off. We hire yrc and Holland guys left and right because they top out less then what we start at. I have absolutely no problem being a $cab. It's not the 1960s anymore unions only purpose now is to collect dues and give it to the democrats. You are so God damn brain washed to realize your precious union stoped caring about the workers when the workers stoped running it
@@MetalTeamster the health care also isn't expensive at all. Like 50.00 a week for individual plans dental and vision is like 5.00 that's a small price to pay for what else you get
@@AA-bs3iy interesting...I suppose that shows the effect of the driver shortage on the non Union outfits.... But what do you think the case would be if there was no driver shortage?
I drove UPS for 39 years . Now retired and enjoying life.
QuadDecadeGuy?!???
A very boring career

The man speaks the truth! UPS pay and benefits second to none!

Union ups feeder drivers are lazy and cry baby’s in the real world of trucking most would be fired……without their union they would fall in line…..!!!!!!
Preach it brother! PREACH!

TEAMSTER here UNION all the way..😊😊😊😊..Do better join a union..
He’s getting about $41/hr then OT after 8hrs 😂. I bet I go 64 in a 65 when I’m driving feeders in a few weeks

It's ok when he crashes into a minivan full of kids and kills them the teamsters will protect him
@@AA-bs3iy then they arrest him and sentence him to 99 years in prison
