As a current UPS employee (fleet mechanic) I started a business when I started there in 2018 and now my business is fucking killing it. I can not wait to just wash my hands of this shithole. The insurance is about the only thing holding me here. Good for you! My ass isn’t far behind you.

[@MrWolf2212]

What business did you start ?

[@davidsampson5475]

Mobile fleet repair.

[@kiddthomas3375]

insurance in America holds alot of us up. good luck !!!!

[@sychavez7269]

lol if your business is killing it like you said , then why don't you pay for your own insurance hmmmmm. lol because you can't if you can't then your business is not killing it.

[@ibiro868]

8 years driving and I quit 2 years ago. I had top pay as well. Now I fly planes and make 4x more no stress. Never looked back. Division manager said I could never do better than UPS lol. He’s still in that sweaty warehouse slaving. I’m living my best life.

[@itsspooky960]

How'd you make that transition?

[@ibiro868]

Saved up for 2 years. Took all the OT I could get. If you’re gonna get in to aviation you should have at least 75k for flight training. Demand is so high you’ll have a job before you get your commercial license.

[@mellomell99]

​@ibiro868 man I nesdd to see this I been driving for 5 years and my goal is to get into aviation

Straight motivation brother! 💪👍 People talk the talk, but you walked the walk! ✊

I’m at 18 in and 7 as driver and im ready to leave that place after getting hurt and them not wanting to pay me workers comp even though it was on job. They are evil.

Glad to hear you're pursing your channel full time! I'm hear to support it. The grassroots drifting community is dope, humble and you guys help each other out to no end.

[@lwrcs]

My dad quit his corporate job when I was 5 years old. I grew up being able to go talk to him pretty much at any time of the day when I was home. From the perspective of being that kid it's no doubt the right choice. Congrats

Man. That was super real. I don’t know what it is about your channel, but it’s so good and I am honestly so happy for you.

[@jackbarnes8135]

it takes a big man to share big stuff, thank you for the honesty. congratulations on your freedom!

[@68dylan68]

Man, I can't even remember how long I've been following you. I know it was long enough back that we were a fill in driver posting snap stories everyday and Ebony had orange BBS's because I saw her out in the parking lot at IA for the first time and geeked out. Big props bro, i'm happy for you!

[@Sonic-l4v]

Hey Black, I went to Oxnard High with you back in the day. It's great to see you growing. I just want to share that back in 2016, I did the same thing, and initially, it was tough. I almost regretted it after the second year, but I persevered and came back stronger. Working at UPS for $46 in Atlanta is good pay. It's almost better than what most people earn here in Cali without a college degree or trade, and you know the cost of living is a bit lower out there. But hey, if you set your mind to it, things will work out. Just remember, there will be ups and downs. Stay strong through the tough times and don't doubt yourself. Don't let others doubt you either. You can achieve your vision if you stay focused! Good luck, man!

[@Iam_AllBlack]

I have no idea why KZbin suggested this video but I’m glad it did. I know exactly what you’re going through while I’m not a UPS employee I am a current Teamster who’s day to day life has been sucked into the matrix of working so much because that money is so good yet it did more mental and emotional damage to me. The statement you made towards the end is exactly how I feel sometimes but folks like you give me hope that my outside ventures will allow me to one day make a video saying f this job. Salute to you and you have a new subscriber 💪🏾

No, it’s a slave job. Not for anyone lol. I could be more targeting and say it’s for the less fortunate or uneducated also. A salary just above the national average, a bad back/posture, bad knees and time consuming. Let’s keep it real. A man’s job is combat.

[@Gudalow]

You sound like a huge pussy comparing it to “Slave work” lol you get like $100k to deliver packages. The longer I’ve been a driver, the more I feel like all you complainers are just huge pussies 😂💀

[@KJMGarage]

The older we get the more we value time over money. It takes a big person to omit his struggles and I’m glad you put this out because I’ve been feeling the same way and I think you just pushed me to make some changes in my own life. I’ll keep watching and supporting the best I can man!

[@CosmicCulture-l3k]

This is truly inspiring to see you took a chance with yourself. Good shit bro, you deserve to be happy, it’s your birth right. Maximize yourself and develop that happiness!

If feel your brother , I’m a 19 year ups driver, I did 11 as a package car driver and everything that your saying is true , luckily I got into feeders in 2018 and never looked back package, I don’t miss the long days and mostly I don’t miss the constant harassment by management ever morning talk about over allowed and spors. I wish much success to you.

Yo Black! Congrats on quitting the “adult job”. I’ve been there and know what it feels like to have a good paying job but missing out on more important things in life. The most valuable commodity that any of us has is our time and really no price can be put on that. I wish you and Sam all the best and will do all I can to support your journey. BIG Love Homie 🖤

[@zedzeitzmann4198]

Black, I’m extremely proud of you man. I would always watch your stories on IG and just couldn’t believe how hard you work. All day at UPS then going home to grind some more on your businesses. You’re truly an inspiration to many, a lot of us are rooting for you man. Be happy brotha it’s well deserved. Chase your dreams, life is too short not to.🙇‍♂️🙏

[@ANDERZENAMG]

I'm so happy for you man, discovered your channel a few years ago and hoped some day this would be the chance for you to do this full time. I'm a Teacher full time and also run my channel, I pull many late nighters just to make it feasible, it's taxing for sure but the hours are much more ideal, I enjoy teaching and I get a ton of breaks etc. Imagining the hours you were putting in and near all nighters to run the channel, plus having it push ou to edge like that, I feel for you and wish you all the success possible with your channel and future endeavors. I appreciate your openness and vulnerability in sharing what you did, not easy.... but... YOU GOT THIS!

Congrats my E36 brother. Good luck on the new full time journey. Will definitely continue to support you.

Full support from someone who has been searching for a "career" since highschool, only to be taken advantage of by almost every single company I've worked for. Some big companies, some small but a good bit of them made sure I felt as little as possible. Your words resonate with many, plus we have the same hobbies. Subbed.

[@civic2323]

I can respect someone who sets goals and achieve them. As a fellow UPSer and getting ready to retire next year I feel you on wanting to be happy. Follow your dreams and not the rat race. Congrats on breaking through mental chain.

Congrats on making the move. 4 year ups driver here and I know the truth to everything you’re saying bro. I’m right there with you! Congrats and enjoy the freedom 🎉

[@msgtdel]

I drove for UPS a few years after being partime for many years. Driving was the most frustrating job I ever done but I did not want to quit so I took an inside fulltime job working nights but less stress. I retired as soon as I was able to do so. I can relate to you being out delivering at 8pm smelling someone fireplace instead of being home enjoying mine with my wife relaxing. The money was really good but it can take a toll on you mentally, physically, and spiritually. I wish you the best in you new venture. There is life after UPS!

Ups is definitely not for everyone. I’ve been with the company for going on 7 years and driving for going on 6 years and I absolutely love what I do. Everyone always asks, what’s the hardest part of your job and I tell them dealing with management. I’m on the 9.5 list and I file every week that I go over that third day. But good for you and I wish you the best of luck in your journey of being an entrepreneur.

[@Osamabeenleanin210]

Definitely happy for you man. Im right there with you, I work 12 hrs overnight at a hospital and this shits for the birds. I don't make nearly as much as you did and I've been wanting to walk away, I do patient care assistant and I make only $15.46 an hr. We deal with twice as much work as any nurse but get paid half of what they do. Nurses make from $22 an hr up to $48 only to deal with 2 to 5 people any night and all they really do is pass out medication and change IV's. We deal with 12-24 a night and do everything else we're supposed to do on top of what they feel isn't a nurses job. Health care since the "cough heard around the world" has become a joke and it's full of lazy people who want a check. They're not here to care for people, at some point like you said it not even about the money it's about the happiness and there's none here. I'm a father of twin boys and I hardly get time with them because when I'm going to sleep they're waking up, when I'm up the whole family is going to sleep or already passed out. I can't really be an active father or man to my girl because they're on one schedule and I'm on another. If I change up my sleep schedule it takes me about 2 or 3 weeks to get back in track with it and in that time I'm an angry person because of lack of sleep. 13 and a half hrs each day are dedicated to getting ready for work going to and from work and actual work, 6 hrs for sleep, leaving me with about 5 hrs a day for family and me time. Im giving way to much of my time up to a job and not enough to my family who I do the damn job for. I dream of the day I can give everyone the middle finger and leave or put in all my pto and never come back

[@chrisholmes7811]

Hey, do you still have your X5 e70?

[@TheJumpRopeAddict]

This is true with any job. I’ve only had 3 jobs and I’m 38. For me after 7-10 years something about doing the same thing I think the human mind suffers and starts finding reasons to quit and find something else. Sometimes the change is needed for one’s mental and physical health and there is nothing wrong with that. I don’t like when people try to Dog a place that supported them for a long period of time though. If you work for anyone else there are always going to be cons to that job. There isn’t one company in the world in business where there main goal is to make their employees as happy as they can and pay them the most money, that’s just not the way it works. Keeping a positive mindset and always being the best person you can be for yourself and your family should always be our main goal
