Must be tough to keep people driving for you when UPS drivers can work three days and take home $1200 per week or max out on their hours and make 160K per year.
@MichaelJones1527Ай бұрын
It is competitive but those UPS Jobs are not easy to come by. It usually takes years to move up in the ranks at UPS. They are union so you have to bid on your routes and rank. I was a Teamster in my early days of the transportation business.
