odd question for a UPS guy.. lol
I was a driver at ground and know a few O/O's that still run there. When I was running there eariler this year I knew the Sacramento hub teams were getting between 3k-6k a week (being realistic) and local solo drivers do about 2k a week. Different hubs get different miles, so if your thinking of going to ground check with operators in your area for what they get.
The fuel program is great according to every operator I have talked with. THe best thing about ground is the terminal to terminal and all drop and hook. I only had one layover ever with them. No other company I worked with that was OTR ran smoother.
My buddies that have trucks signed on with ground are all very happy (other than the long wait times to get drivers approved) and wouln't run their trucks anywhere else.
Best bet if your serious is to go to your local hub and talk with the other o/o's there.
