Question for the UPS guys, what division are you in? I know the UPS drivers (feeder's) around Ohio sure don't make that much. There top scale is .54cpm and I think $23.00, which is just a little bit more than Roadway and Yellows top scale.

I am on whats known as a "combo bid" by choice. I am at over $27 per hour with OT after 8 and Double time after 12 as Brown67 has stated. Full health and welfare and a decent pension. I am finishing up my 30th year at Brown and will retire at the end of July 2007. I have run the sleeper teams on my last bid. Pay is around .58cpm split with hourly for both drivers anytime truck stops (drops-hooks-hubs-breakdown-road closures any wait time/pre/post trips etc). It's a good gig. (and I got the "watch"...LOL! -Brown67 will figure it out....)

Okay, maybe i don't make more than the Rev :wink:

At .5415/mile that's equal to $32 per hour running 60 miles per hour. Stops make or break you depending on how long they take.

The sun's shining...the birds are chirping...the flowers are in bloom...hey why don't we hike our drivers pay up to Teamster scale and toss in a traditional defined pension-plan for good measure?".

Picked them based on the regional runs, weekend hometime. Equipment has never really been a huge issue for me. But would not go out of my way to drive a hunk of junk. My current truck is an 05' I also never heard anything bad about them. So the no news is good news kinda played into that.

I'm very satisfied. You'll always have days where you'd like to push you DM off a cliff. But you've got to take the good with the bad. They never push me, even ask if I have the hours or can move a load safely within hours, and as of yet have never "diciplined" me for saying no.

I've loaded and unloaded a few times, with a couple of those being assist. But my assist have consisted of 10 minutes worth of work, and those pay $30. Not bad for 10 mins of work. The load/unload has always been with a electric pallet jack. Never taken me longer than 20-30 mins. Those paid me $65.

They pay for lumper on nearly everything that needs to be lumped. I only do it for the money. If it will take me 30 mins or so.. Why not make some extra money. If it's a full load, with massive pallet break downs, then hell no. I'll let the co pay for a lumper while I get my shut eye.
