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.

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.

Hey,,,are you getting along any better with your breathing problems?.. Seen last weeks live you bought an old Pontiac.. Each year that passes by is hard to imagine these old cars are sitting back in the corner of a barn,,,or old caved in shop,,in someones backyard.
