How Much Do UPS Drivers Make?

I worked in a UPS warehouse for 2 years and let me tell you, coming from construction, it was the most physically demanding job I’ve ever had. The craziest part is you would expect like a bunch of young guys to be there but nope almost everyone there is like 40/50 or older and still out working the young guys. I would always ask why they are still doing this and almost 100% of the time it’s because they wanted the benefits for their kids. Those were some real men.

[@robertfranks665]

Its definitely a physically demanding job and a stressful one. I used to work in the warehouse as a sorter and the stress for a driver begins as soon as they walk in the door. Becoming a driver isnt as easy as some people think. You have to have a clean driving record, take a road test in the UPS truck, take and pass the physical and drug screen, and participate in zoom meetings online for 5 days where you complete different exercises from like 8am-4pm. After all that you have to go in and recite all the rules for lowering and lifting among other procedures and it has to be verbatim. The driver is correct, most warehouse employees are offered the first opportunity to become a driver, but its tricky.They have driver bid sheets you can sign, but its by senority so if you sign up to become a driver, and just about everyone who signed the sheet has more years than you, youre not going to be considered to become a driver.

[@_--____--______--___]

For a driver, the most you can get in the US is a little over $30 an hour. Here in the UK, they get £12.49 an hour which isn't bad to be fair, but they'll never see a salary like the ones being paid in the US.

You have to start in the warehouse making like 13$/hr. (No, you can't live on that if it's your only income). Then you have to do that for like 2 years while constantly applying to be a driver. Since everyone wants to be a delivery driver. It's physically demanding. But the pay after the 4 years of doing it is worth it. $40/hr Unlike Amazon, Fedex and all the other delivery carriers, their pay all sucks because they hire through third party companies because it's cheaper for them.
