I'm a delivery driver and to all of you that leave the snacks out on your porch for us, we really do appreciate that!!! A lot of people don't realize how much easier it is to be a good person then it is to be a jerk.
I'm going to start doing that. God bless everyone. One thing now ups is taking ammo and gun parts illegally. Also ups is connected to human trafficking.
I retired from UPS last year with 35 years of service. UPS is a hard company to work for, very challenging. I worked as a feeder driver for the last 25 years (18 wheeler). I was making about $133,000 yearly. UPS/Teamsters also has a pension that was not mentioned. Pension is about $4800 a month with $2233 SSA at age 62. Not bad!

Our top out for us at UPS is $41 an hour after four years of driving service here in Arizona. Anything over 8 hours is always time and a half. If I volunteer for Mondays it is double time for me. Plus all benefits (Health, Dental and Vision) for my wife and I are paid for by UPS. Hope this helps you and all those wanting to become delivery drivers. Thanks for your Vlog.
Hi Oliver. I'm in Phoenix. I will start next week FedEx probably. I'm interested in UPS. What is the best way to become UPS driver, and on which location is UPS here, near Thomas and 31 ave? I have experience with driving armored truck in security company.
Love the content Chris. Ups driver for Southern California Starting: $21 After 1 year: $23 After 2 years: $24 After 3 years: $28.75 After 4 years: $41.05
I work for amazon for a little over a year now. Im at 16.50. Im constantly in the top 10 drivers (out of 55 I believe we have now) to arrive back from the route. My daily route consists of 150-200 stops (not counting any rescues), 230-360 packages (depends on the season). I hit apartments, condos, houses, businesses and the occasional long driveway mansions (Im based in Tampa). Although my daily schedule is 10hrs, Im usually done in 6-7hrs, but I still get paid for the full 10 as long as my FICO score is above 800 for the week and I havnt committed any mayor infractions such as speeding, stops signs or not using seatbelts for example. I dont really take breaks, but when I do is because my body is telling to do so and it usually lasts 15min. So to put all in perspective for my last pay period I WORKED 54hrs (we get paid bi-weekly), I still got paid 80. The way I see it, I got paid "$24" an hour when you do the math. I dont run, but I pace myself and I also look at my route for the day before I head out and I write down when/where I would need to "jump" a stop that I can get to back later so my route can be more efficient. Amazon has a habit of making routes that make no sense sometimes (let me know if that happens to the rest of you guys). Why go through the same street or head back to an area you were a couple of hours ago? We say Amazon does it on purpose just so that you can full fill the 10hrs of the day, they say they dont, but they still havnt proved me wrong, so Im sticking to my argument. Its not the highest paying job Ive had (i used to make 28 as far back as when the pandemic started), but this gig offers me something that my last job or any of the others I had before offered: FLEXIBILITY. I work my 4 days, Im off 3. I sometimes would volunteer to cover for someone if they request it, otherwise Im just working my 4. Im at the point where MY time is more important than money. I still have stuff to do at home, spend more time with family and friends, go out and do whatever. Its perfect for those who have a side hustle (like in my case) or go to school. Good video, keep up the good work
Man both Amazon and UPS sound better then my USPS job lol. And yall probably don't have to deal with the hassle of paying attention to packages and having to mark yourself of what stop it belongs too etc. Trucks are better suited for it all too. Our trucks aren't bad till you need to deal with multiple large boxes and keeping in order with the mail etc
@@phuhoang4678 😆 i have, but the notion of having to work 5 days and OT pushes the idea away. Who knows, never say never, but at the moment i feel fine where im at
Extra pay for for your personal credit score , theres a scam going on. My credit score is NOT anyones business. Thats liberal government trying to give you a social score.
I was a usps carrier for 8 years… i saved enough money to buy an adult family home so i decided to call it quits…. Management is horrible, abusive and never wrong no matter how dumb their decisions are…love my co workers to death so im hoping management gets it together
And I agree to this message I'm a usps mail handler for 2 years I'm so miserable at this job its not even funny .....I work hard but management always harassed me if I don't do other people jobs.
USPS letter carrier top is $71,486 not including overtime and overseas COLA (cost of living adjustment). Hawaii, Alaska and the U. S. Virgin Islands get a 25% COLA. PR is at 11%
The thing about UPS is that you have to start out working at the warehouse, and then you work your way up with seniority into becoming a driver. Sometimes it's faster if people want to stay at the warehouse instead of delivery on the street. I imagine that's a lot of people when they get comfortable.
@@cloroxbleach6039to my understanding having talked to people on the inside, you get a dollar raise every year even if you hit your cap. After the strike they went on and won through teamsters drivers not make 24$ first year 25$ second year 30.75$ third year I shit you not, 49$ 4th year. Lol A lot of dudes work overtime and bring home 145k a year at 50 hours a week due to time and a half and a few hours double pay after 8 hours over. In addition to this you get almost entirely paid for benefits at a value of near 60k (way overlooked). The hard part is there is usually a couple year wait and you very likely have to work inside first and they rarely if ever hire full time so if you want the driving job you have to have 2 jobs for a few years before you even get the opportunity to drive. Great pay but hard to get into depending on your family situation
Not at all true. I was hired as a casual driver, became 22.4 (cover driver) in 3 months which started my progression, became an RPCD (regular package car driver) in 1.5 years and am now a senior driver making top rate of $42.32. At the end of this contract (2028) I will be making $49.
I'm a Fedex customer service representative in Guatemala and your videos have helped me out a lot. I have increased my knowledge about how FedEx drivers work.
UPS tops out at $42, free top tier family medical, 9 weeks paid vacation, and $4500 a month company paid pension after 30 years. Most drivers make over 100k with lots of overtime pay.
FYI; UPS drivers are Union and work under contract. there is no pay ceiling. every 4-6 yrs a new bargaining agreement needs to be worked out and voted on by the members. on average it usually works out to be around .80-.90 cents a year for the life of the contract. im a 27 yr driver from the New England area. i make 110-120 thousand a year working 10 hr days M-F and i have 7 weeks' vacation a year. plus health benefits and a full pension at 30 yrs. BUT... i earn every penny of it..., by far, UPS is the most demanding and strictest of all the delivery companies. every second of my day, when not on breaks (1hr lunch unpaid and two 10 min paid breaks) is spent busting my ass at a brisk pace. so, who gets paid the most? well as usual, like with everything, you get what you pay for....
Im 37 and thinking about a career change.... UPS driver making 40 plus an hour is very enticing. I know they dont start there but knowing what you can work towards is nice. Do you take all your vacation time a year? Also what are your typical clock in clock out times?
Amazon drivers get the worst pay , that's what I gathered from talking to other drivers. Amazon doesn't increase pay with experience. They pay everyone the same , it sucks when some drivers are slow and you always have to go rescue them.
That is true. Most leave anyways to better things. Amazon is a dead end job. Yes it above minimum wage but not worth doing it time in and time out for the same pay. I’m in Amazon XL so it not as bad as the regular Amazon guys but I rather move to FedEx express. Yes I know people say UPS but I got family who work at both FedEx freight and Express and they live pretty normal lives .
I started in ups as a package handler when I was 18. It was just supposed to be a Summer job to get some money. Thought about driving for them , but my driving record is pretty bad lol. So I stuck it out as a package handler and after 12 years I got full time. So now I'm making about 29 an hour, with 40 hours guaranteed and plenty of overtime opportunities if you want it
It’s the same for UPS here in KS. Start 21 next year 23 next 24 next 28.75 next max pay. Which by 2023 when our contract is up will be right around 42. ATM max is 39 something but with a $1 wage increase this year and a $1.10 next year will put us around 42. The free health insurance is the best tho. In 2021 I had 78k in health care costs and only paid $400 out of pocket. $100 deductible and only $1000 out of pocket max. Every driver I know that has hit max makes 6 figures. We get so much OT. If you do this job you won’t have much of a personal life the first few years.
U are like the most positive FedEx driver I’ve ever seen. Until I heard you say you have been a driver for 2 years. Now I no why you are so happy. Fast forward a few years and we will see where you stand. Haha great video
I’ve been a tractor trailer driver for roughly 43 years . I’ve been fortunate to have driven for all 4, via USPS , Fedex Express UPS~CSI, Amazon. Hands down UPS is the highest paying along with the better benefits. TX Region ( Houston)
I've been fortunate to work for one company in 35 years. UPS. Why waste your time working for the other 3. Go with the best to begin with and retire at a decent age!!!
As someone who works for USPS, I am here to say that it is a trash company to work. The way they treat employees is just horrible. The pay is much lower when compared to UPS. The temp mail carriers (CCAs) are abused and treated like slaves. It takes 2-3 years to become a regular and be eligible for full benefits / pension. The years spent as a CCA does not count towards our service and pensions, basically we worked 60-70 hours a week for years to then be told this time doesn't count towards retirement. Being a regular isn't much better. It takes almost 13 years to get to top pay. When including time being a CCA, literally it is about 15-16 years till one hits top pay. How is this acceptable? They cannot keep enough CCA's on the job, and they wonder why? What is worse that there are two pay tiers , one for old timers and one for those hired after 2013. Those hired after 2013 have to pay 3x as much towards their pension as the old timers to get same benefits. I can go on and on. This is a brutal job if you end up in the wrong area or the ghetto. Majority of the routes are extremely long and management constantly harasses carriers to make it back on time.
Couldn't agree more. Plus the brain dead management keeps taking on packages from both Amazon and UPS. No wonder UPS pays more when they don't have to work their drivers on Sundays anymore as the USPS does their job. The other factor the guy in the video misses is with the other package companies have to do are packages. Nothing like hauling a ton of redplums on top of UPS packages.
I’m a TTO (tractor trailer operator ) for USPS. Been here 16 years too pay is now right at $75000 a year. And with overtime well over 110k. If i don’t want overtime I can say no. If I want it I’ll stay. But that is the perk of seniority at the post office. You can just walk in the door to top pay.
I left UPS in 2005 making 26.15 an hour. Made 60,000 my final full year. I wish I had stayed I’d be retiring in 3 years. Oh well at least I’m not nearly as stressed out!
@@johnappleseed9290 been here for a year I'm at 23.50 then next year will be 27 then 3 year 30.50 and 4th year is 10 dollars raise but this year new contract is coming up so they're expecting at least a dollar that's why I said that
I’m at the palatine UPS in Illinois and out top out rate at my hub Is $40.00. I know feeders is around $42-45. Haven’t heard of the new contract yet but I’ll keep on the loop for it!
I have experience with UPS as a seasonal employee and Amazon (currently). I worked the 2021 peak season at UPS as a PVD (personal vehicle driver) and it was one of the best jobs even as a temp person! $22/hr base pay with OT 1.5 after 8 hrs/day even as a seasonal employee plus mileage pay too! Currently I’m at Amazon and it’s definitely less at $17.50/hr. Probably the one and ONLY perk to deliver for Amazon is the 4 day/ 10hr per day schedule! For that is also why I’ve been here for over 6 months still… Honestly, other carriers should try to copy the 4 day workweek, that extra day off is amazing… 😊 p.s.: I also applied at FedEx ground, did my interview and driving skills test at the warehouse but walked away when they said they start at 7:30am 5-6 days per week…😮😅🤔
@@jilliebean6312 PVD is seasonal during peak only IIRC. Come to express with me. My particular route starts at 5:20 in the morning 4 days a week and at 4:30 in the morning on Mondays. MONDAY.
I knew UPS would be the best payer based on what I already knew about the company. If you don't mind the heavy work, UPS is the one to go with. Hats off, those guys do work really hard.
Usps is the best You get 3 raises a year You get over time and double time daily not weekly Government benefits You get a pension Usps doesn't have a max pay
I don’t know anyone who makes over 100k in usps I worked for usps 3 years I know people who are in the top pay worked 60+ hours per week 6 days and barely made 90k
@@MailmanNick the top pay I think is 37 but it takes 15 years to reach it!!! I worked in a city where mail, fss and parcels were heavy in volume and still some carriers at top pay working 60+ hours didn’t reach the 100k mark!!! At least that’s what they said to me. I worked 60+ hours 6 days and some days I worked 13-14 hours and still didn’t reach the 80k mark idk how you making that. But ey that’s nice to hear maybe because of the new contract the ccs have the same pay as some regulars. That’s my experience
I'm a ups driver and have to say I feel bad when a fed ex guy asks about our pay and what's up with everything. They always leave sounding like why am I not working at ups
@@grantmarut7488 we get paid far better and have way better benefits. Trust me people leave fed ex for UPS all the time. AC don't do anything in the trucks.
I'm a regular rural carrier with the usps. Usps is split into 2 crafts (rural and city carriers) and they are very different. City carriers start at around 18 like you said, but rural it's 19. This is nationwide as there's no cost of living adjustments for high cost areas. City carriers always make an hourly wage and get tons of OT so it's possible to make 6 figures once you're maxed out which takes 12 years. Regular Rural carriers make a salary based on the size of their route. If you're route is expected to take 9 hours per day, you make a salary equivalent to 45 hours per week with ot built in. However if you're good you'll often only actually work 35 hours except during Xmas. It works out in drivers favor by a mile overall though. I absolutely love my job but ups is the best choice by far financially. They have better unions. Federal employees can go to prison for striking and without that leverage we'll never get the pay we deserve.
There are cola for particular locales. Not many though. I think Hawaii is one of them. With UPS, you normally start doing warehouse work and move to driver. Though that may have changed a little and had some hiring straight to driver recently
Worked for Fed Ex a couple months ago in Texas. $180 a day. $200 after first year of being a good boy- then 220-240. I ended up working 3 12 hour days only getting paid 180 a day. That’s $15 an hour. Yes I was new I know but I was a week and half in (by myself on my own route) and it was only getting harder even tho I was getting better. Anyways I called my old job they wanted me back delivering furniture. Gave me a $10 raise so now I make $300 a day instead of $180 with fed ex.
FedEx route contractors are shady asf. And people wonder why we speed around and sprint to each door. Not to mention the drama, cliques and love triangles among drivers and package handlers. 😂
I’m a mail carrier. I hate my job every day. Management, supervisors are disrespectful, rude and disappointing. I’m tired and have no work life balance. Don’t apply
Current USPS Carrier, Max pay 34.5 per hr after 12.5 years, (prior service in government provides extra benefits) guaranteed 40 hrs, over 8hrs in a day time and a half, past 8pm double time, past 10pm triple time. Retirement Pension, TSP(401k), SS bridge to be able to retire early. Its not all walking, Route style depends on area. large city like New York = relay boxes so all walking. suburbs mostly driving routes cue in the LLVs or post trucks. USPS has multiple Unions., NALC is the largest employee Union per Craft. So Union benefits. Max pay is negotiated about ever 3 years and usually we get COLA and base pay increases that stagger throughout the life of the final contract. average hours for career carrier 50 hrs a week did I mentions benefits for working for the federal government? hope this helps

Been with USPS for close to 12 years. Been a carrier for almost 8 of those. I know that depending on your carrier position, you top out at $34-35/hr not including COLA’s that we get annually. It takes 12.5 years top pay as well. But you also have option of wanting to work overtime or not (unless forced.) Benefits aren’t free like they are at UPS, but inexpensive and have options for great coverage whether single or family.
I hated usps when I work for them the regulars are lazy as fuck they would not come to work and post master couldn’t force them and tell them shit so they expect the cca to do everything and that’s why they loose workers and they so understaff and I got a friend that did 5 years and his top pay was $20.50

Love your content, I just wanted to let you know I started working for USPS 3 year's ago and I'm a TTO driver ( Tractor Trailer Operator ) in Northern California/Bay Area , so I'm not a letter carrier ( mailman per say) but as a Tractor Trailer Operator the pay has improved since I started and I'm guessing is because the Postal Service was having a hard time recruiting good CDL drivers because of the low pay. Anyways I started at $22.74 per hour but as of right now I believe that the starting pay is $28 per hour. Now that I'm on my third year I'm at $31 and top pay is at around $36 per hour we will see what the next contract will bring, Also there's a lot of overtime for those who want to work it you are not forced into working it you can actually say NO! We receive 2 pay raises per year which also includes COLA ( cost- of -living -adjustment)and yes it's a cushy & comfy government job no doubt especially a TTO driver, letter carrier is a whole different ballgame and they work extremely hard and long hours but they do make closer to 100k per year because of the overtime. I hope this helps anyone who may be interested in working here. The Benefits are good not great because we pay a substantial amount out of our paychecks but we have a pension and a 401k that the Postal Service matches and I believe we have lifetime medical benefits for you and your spouse when you retire .
USPS tops out at around 75k now here in NC. While Fed Ex and UPS may make a little more money the postal services benefits are usually way better. That is the main difference.
I'm a fedex express driver out of menlo park station(peninsula/bay area). Bout 24yrs in. Topped out at 33.81. I started at our sacramento station in 1998 at 11.91.
You do not get a 50cent to dollar raise at fedex express every year. Last 5 years or so employees got a 2% raise. At 18 an hour your getting a 36 cent raise, it's not possible to hit the max anymore unless they change

In Massachusetts Amazon goes from $16.50 to $20.50 west to east. The closer to Boston the higher the pay.

USPS to start now is $19 and once you become FT it tops out at $35 and you get annual general increases plus Cost of Living twice a year. You will get tons of overtime so your annual pay will be much higher.
I work at UPS in Jersey, start at 21, every year you get a raise, 23, 24, 28.75, 39 at the end of 2023. Every year after you hit top rate you get a wage increase due to inflation. We work long hours, but after 8 you get time in a half. Some guys make 130 k a year over here. Put in the work and you get paid.

Easier work , better pay , no dogs will chase you and you'll climb the ladder WAY FASTER than a driver ever will ! Seriously.
@@luisc2496 You can apply on line for the Custodian position ( USPS Careers). After you get hired , you can sign up to take the Maintenance 955 exam , after that , they will give you a general interview about maintenance. Depending on your scores , you will either stay as a Custodian , or quilify for a level 7 Mechanic , level 9 Mechanic or a level 10 Electronic Technician. You can take the test and interview every 6 months and try and improve your scores. It doesn't take too much maintenance experience...in the interview , you can relate your experience to something as simple as working on your own car , lawnmower, gixing things around the house. Doesn't necessarily require "job" experience. Doesn't hurt to apply.
@@ramongotkix2826 the current multiple choice test is easy. The test used to be tough. They used to test hundreds at a time and even seasoned mechanics/electronic techs couldn't pass the old test. The pass rate was about 1%. However, the easy test turns out terrible mechanics. The seasoned mechanics have to work harder to make up for the deficiencies of the newer mechanics. There is no training in the post office. New mechanics will say there's training (the in house training) but nothing beats vocational education getting into a maintenance field.
I've been a rural carrier for USPS for 23 years. At least for the rural side of the company your pay is mainly based off the size of your route and many factors such as mail/parcel volume, number of stops, seniority, mileage, vehicle government or personally owned, ect determine your pay. My route is a 47k...meaning 47hrs paid every week plus K meaning one day off per 6 day week. If you end up working your K day its an additional day of pay at 150% of route evaluation or you can choose an additional day of annual leave for future use. I always choose the money. Based off our lastest COLA raise my routes base salary is over $87,000. Now add an almost guaranteed 25-40 K days worked per year because of shortage of subs and six figures is definitely achievable. Other than Christmas time I'm still typically home by 2-3 every day. Great benefits!! Can't complain really🤷♂️
post office pay stay the same no matter where you go in the country, I work there so yea I make 59.000 after 8yrs here in cali.as a clerk, the carriers make more than clerks but if I moved to any where in the US my pay stays the same.
@@aaronrodriguez1410 it okay. The first year gonna suck. You are bottom cover driver. For my center it takes around 4-8 years to obtain a route depending on how many retires. When you have a set route like me you get to know your customers, know what time each place open close, restroom break etc.. Some places give you an envelope during Christmas.
I worked at UPS in Lathrop, CA peak season only as truck driver. They pay $40/hr and time an a half after 8 hrs. 6th day is time OT all day and 7th day is double.
You income you need to consider cost of living for each area. Another thing to consider is what is delivered and where it has to be delivered; for example USPS is the only delivery service allowed to use a mailbox, but delivers checks, letters and anything else that is postage paid with anything not fitting in the box going to the front door, all other delivery services must go to the front porch.
Im a ups driver top pay is close to 40 in Ny but the job is not easy and you have to make into the union to get a full time position and thats based off your performance, all month ive done no less than 200 stops daily
Besides the hourly wage you have to include benefits, paid medical/dental, 401k, holiday pay, PENSION and vacation time. UPS is king of the hill, along with the fact there is a union to back you up or keep the company honest. I got 8 weeks vacation at 30 years. Vacations are 50 hours. Not worried about UPS shutting down either.
I remember getting a tupawear container of home made cookies from the ladies 80 year old mother bro they was so good. I had a chance to thank the lady who made them couple days later. Bless her heart! (Around amazon peak season)
Fedex Express top pay for driver is $35/hr where I’m at, but you still get yearly raises (so it’s not actually top pay) and it’s a cake walk compared to UPS and fedex ground. But it takes a very long time to get to that top rate
It must be nice, in my local top out for an RTD is 30.50 an hour. Heard we will get a 3% raise in October. That will put us at 31.42. Just another slap in the face for the front line AGF&S drivers. The company will probably raise our portion of healthcare costs so it will basically negate the raise. Same ole song and dance. 26 years in and your right, it ain't worth it.
I worked for ups as a personal vehicle driver during peak season. 22 and hour. Besides the times when they give you too many packages and I’m only in a sedan, it was really nice. I was making 800-1000 a week. I wanna go permanently, but driving positions rarely open up

I’ve been a FXG driver for 2 years, I left for FXE and after 2 months i returned back to Ground. FXE is a great company it definitely has a corporate feel everything is about accountability and you need codes for everything you do you definitely feel like someone is over your shoulder. You’re always in constant contact with dispatch before your last stop you need to let dispatch know you’re heading to your last stop and before you return to the station you have to be cleared by dispatch. They do this just in case someone needs help either with pick ups or deliveries. Another thing is you have time commitments 10:30am-12:00pm deliveries. This means you have to deliver these packages before if not management will have some questions. Of course this is not always the case, sometimes you’ll have late freight and those commitments can’t be fulfilled. When you have late freight dispatch will let you know someone will be meeting you so you can deliver the late packages. And of course you definitely get benefits. My Ground contractor offers benefits too. I like Ground because you load your van and once everything is done you take off. Oh, another thing at Express you scan and load your packages. I’m currently getting paid $23 at Ground and I was getting paid $19.81 at Express.
I started with USPS as a clerk working every day for 9+ hours…I decided that was not for me so I took a slight pay cut and went over to maintenance and became a career employee.I then got promoted and took the position as a postal police officer.I’m now looking to become a postal inspector once the portal opens up…they start off at 80k get a government car really great gig

Makes sense but if you're single how I see it doesn't really matter but if you have a family and married and have kids then yeah it makes sense so you could go home earlier to them
I worked at every one except UPS.. heres my experience lets start with Amazon since thats where I started first. The contractor I was with at the time i think it was like $15 a hr which is trash I do think they had benefits like health insurance etc though. Next USPS I started at like $17 something but after a few months was at $18 Something still trash, however USPS AlWAYS have OT so it averages out to more but still the base pay for what you have to do at the Post Office should be more. Fedex Ground the contractor was paying $20 and there was always at least 5-10hrs of OT from my experience there but the benefits wasnt so good and insurance was very expensive. Fedex Express im at $21 Something but the benefits are really good however at my station its kinda hard to get OT so it still averages out to probally just a little bit more than the others if you wasnt doing alot of OT. Now out of the 4 ive listed USPS from my experience you probably can make the most because your always working with no work life balance but at the same time have pretty decent checks so idk
Everything is trash to you stop complaining you should be grateful. Some people can't get no job 🙄 You should thank God stop complaining, it is not easy getting no job now these days.
@@LawrenceSimms I am just saying you should be thankful stop complaining. Some people can not find a job. Your talking about amazon?? But, I know some places that is way worst than Amazon. Have you ever heard of a Company call "CENTRO" ??? You think Amazon work you like a slave. Centro work you like a slave, at Centro you do not get a break your constantly doing parts for John Deere. Guess what ?? I was being sexually harassed, I got fired for reporting in sexually harassment. Your talking about Amazon baby please I know places way worst than that.
With all the postal overtime I was getting last year I made $70,000 and that was only being in for 3 years. Since then my particular office has gotten better at staffing so a lot of that overtime has gone but at least now I'm full career status and can expect a guaranteed 40 hour week with some ot here and there
I'm a former mail-carrier for USPS and I strongly advice against working there. They will exploit you as a temporary-employer for a couple years which means all the work you'll do does not count towards retirement or pay step-increases. Even after working for 5-6 years, you'll still be at the bottom of the payscale and seniority because the years you work as a temp never counted. Basically still making $20 an hour after 5-6 years. You're better off at UPS or FedEx!
Maybe as a rural carrier u would waste years...Im a regular city carrier and the shortest time we converted someone was 2 months...but yes they have started hiring PTFs...I love my job...I work my 40 hours and go home..
Ya I worked there for about 3 weeks before catching on to their bs I could just tell by looking at the co workers it wasn't worth it. Going to try ups next.
Cool video lol I’m also from New Jersey currently working at Amazon getting paid 19.25 but I just got the job at ups starting at 22 an hour. Very informative.
Great video as always! I always feel bad that none of the snacks things include dhl, ik they’re a little smaller but I always put them on just in case lol. Thank you for everything that you do, peak is almost done! Merry Christmas!
I should be starting on November 2, 2022 as a seasonal driver helper with UPS hoping to make a full time position. The pay start out will be 17 an hour and a local UPS worker stated that withinn4 years with progression you can make 41 an hour here in KY He said he worked for them for 20 some years and started his own route after 2 year So I greatly appreciate the help and the video
@@austinabrahan4463 the helper position is just seasonal and you have to call each morning to see if you are working. They haven't had as much packages as they though they would this year. I worked 2 days before Thanksgiving then a 4 day week and a 2 day week and 1 day last week then 3 days this week. Scheduling is very irratic ad they don't know if they need you til that morning. I was told best was to get most hours and be needed the most is working in the center doing preload
Most USPS carriers have been working ridiculous overtime the last couple of years and make a lot more than you mentioned in the video, although it's hurting the workforce and a lot of people are quitting or taking early retirement.
I've noticed that too where I live. I joined the USPS a year ago and I've been making a lot of money due to overtime alone. But I'm afraid to switch to a bigger facility, as they are infamous for forcing their workers to go 10 to 14 days without a day off. I much prefer to be one of the guys who come in to help out. Been considering if I should switch to UPS but I think it would be best to appreciate what I've got right now.
USPS City Carrier here.. USPS is really killing all of the delivery drivers to be honest💯💯. We don’t have to work 40 hours to get overtime and double time pay, because we get it in a single day. Anything after 8 hours is time 1/2 & anything 10+ is double time daily 💯💯
Also you don't have to work as CCA/mail carrier to make the same, you can be Mail Processing Clerk and get the same money, over time and double pay. Which comes with a roof over your head ,bathroom, breakroom, 3 breaks if you do 8 hr shift. If you do 12 hours you get 5 breaks. I wish I knew this when i was a CCA.
@@jimraynor3132 Yes I know double is off the table for peak season (December) but you still get time and a half during peak season. And top pay at 12 years of service plus the all the other pay and benefits. We have City Carriers making well over $200,000 a year.
I worked for express. My hub top out was 28 and guys who were there 10+ years weren't close to that yet. UPS (in my area) has a top of 39.xx. Should've followed in my brothers footsteps lmao

Well I've been at FedEx for 9 years and making $19.50 plus covid-19 so my pay went up to $23.50. But you also have to remember just working part time plus peak season they gave us a dollar raise but after peak season is over they take that dollar back. This is in California oh yeah let me remind you the $23 an hour and 50 Cent went away back to $19 an hour and 50 cents FedEx is weird in paying package handlers. One more thing I would have to switch from not being a package handler anymore to receive a pension but I would have to be with the company for twenty years.😃😥 I have to say their benefits are pretty good what I notice is they have pretty cheap benefits compared to other companies.🤑
For USPS there’s 2 delivery crafts City carriers: 20$ an hour plus+ they get benefits and overtime after 10 hours per day and double time after 12 hours Rural carriers start out hourly and start around 20$ once you get your own route you convert to salary. After OT I know of people making over 100k$ per craft.
Been at UPS a little over 2 years and should be going to Driving school soon before PEAK season thank god! There is no way to start out as a driver at UPS fyi. You have to put in your time as a package handler. I wish I would have started at 18! I definitely can’t wait for the giant pay increase and I don’t know of any other company that has the benefits UPS does📦📦📦

@Mike Ditargiani I'm making $39.69 right now.
I like to see that people are putting snacks out for you guys, ya'll really do so much for people, and you deserve the best.
I work for amazon for a little over a year now. Im at 16.50. Im constantly in the top 10 drivers (out of 55 I believe we have now) to arrive back from the route. My daily route consists of 150-200 stops (not counting any rescues), 230-360 packages (depends on the season). I hit apartments, condos, houses, businesses and the occasional long driveway mansions (Im based in Tampa). Although my daily schedule is 10hrs, Im usually done in 6-7hrs, but I still get paid for the full 10 as long as my FICO score is above 800 for the week and I havnt committed any mayor infractions such as speeding, stops signs or not using seatbelts for example. I dont really take breaks, but when I do is because my body is telling to do so and it usually lasts 15min. So to put all in perspective for my last pay period I WORKED 54hrs (we get paid bi-weekly), I still got paid 80. The way I see it, I got paid "$24" an hour when you do the math. I dont run, but I pace myself and I also look at my route for the day before I head out and I write down when/where I would need to "jump" a stop that I can get to back later so my route can be more efficient. Amazon has a habit of making routes that make no sense sometimes (let me know if that happens to the rest of you guys). Why go through the same street or head back to an area you were a couple of hours ago? We say Amazon does it on purpose just so that you can full fill the 10hrs of the day, they say they dont, but they still havnt proved me wrong, so Im sticking to my argument. Its not the highest paying job Ive had (i used to make 28 as far back as when the pandemic started), but this gig offers me something that my last job or any of the others I had before offered: FLEXIBILITY. I work my 4 days, Im off 3. I sometimes would volunteer to cover for someone if they request it, otherwise Im just working my 4. Im at the point where MY time is more important than money. I still have stuff to do at home, spend more time with family and friends, go out and do whatever. Its perfect for those who have a side hustle (like in my case) or go to school. Good video, keep up the good work
Rough bro, come to ups .
Man both Amazon and UPS sound better then my USPS job lol. And yall probably don't have to deal with the hassle of paying attention to packages and having to mark yourself of what stop it belongs too etc. Trucks are better suited for it all too. Our trucks aren't bad till you need to deal with multiple large boxes and keeping in order with the mail etc

The thing about UPS is that you have to start out working at the warehouse, and then you work your way up with seniority into becoming a driver. Sometimes it's faster if people want to stay at the warehouse instead of delivery on the street. I imagine that's a lot of people when they get comfortable.
Is it true at ups you get a 4 dollar raise every year?
@@cloroxbleach6039to my understanding having talked to people on the inside, you get a dollar raise every year even if you hit your cap.

I shit you not, 49$ 4th year. Lol
A lot of dudes work overtime and bring home 145k a year at 50 hours a week due to time and a half and a few hours double pay after 8 hours over. In addition to this you get almost entirely paid for benefits at a value of near 60k (way overlooked).
The hard part is there is usually a couple year wait and you very likely have to work inside first and they rarely if ever hire full time so if you want the driving job you have to have 2 jobs for a few years before you even get the opportunity to drive.
Great pay but hard to get into depending on your family situation
Not at all true. I was hired as a casual driver, became 22.4 (cover driver) in 3 months which started my progression, became an RPCD (regular package car driver) in 1.5 years and am now a senior driver making top rate of $42.32. At the end of this contract (2028) I will be making $49.
I'm a Fedex customer service representative in Guatemala and your videos have helped me out a lot. I have increased my knowledge about how FedEx drivers work.
UPS tops out at $42, free top tier family medical, 9 weeks paid vacation, and $4500 a month company paid pension after 30 years. Most drivers make over 100k with lots of overtime pay.
FYI; UPS drivers are Union and work under contract. there is no pay ceiling. every 4-6 yrs a new bargaining agreement needs to be worked out and voted on by the members. on average it usually works out to be around .80-.90 cents a year for the life of the contract. im a 27 yr driver from the New England area. i make 110-120 thousand a year working 10 hr days M-F and i have 7 weeks' vacation a year. plus health benefits and a full pension at 30 yrs.
BUT... i earn every penny of it..., by far, UPS is the most demanding and strictest of all the delivery companies. every second of my day, when not on breaks (1hr lunch unpaid and two 10 min paid breaks) is spent busting my ass at a brisk pace.
so, who gets paid the most? well as usual, like with everything, you get what you pay for....
USPS is also Union
@@X1.7 ya, so? do you have a point?
Im 37 and thinking about a career change.... UPS driver making 40 plus an hour is very enticing. I know they dont start there but knowing what you can work towards is nice. Do you take all your vacation time a year? Also what are your typical clock in clock out times?
Amazon drivers get the worst pay , that's what I gathered from talking to other drivers. Amazon doesn't increase pay with experience. They pay everyone the same , it sucks when some drivers are slow and you always have to go rescue them.
That is true. Most leave anyways to better things. Amazon is a dead end job. Yes it above minimum wage but not worth doing it time in and time out for the same pay. I’m in Amazon XL so it not as bad as the regular Amazon guys but I rather move to FedEx express. Yes I know people say UPS but I got family who work at both FedEx freight and Express and they live pretty normal lives .

ATM max is 39 something but with a $1 wage increase this year and a $1.10 next year will put us around 42. The free health insurance is the best tho. In 2021 I had 78k in health care costs and only paid $400 out of pocket. $100 deductible and only $1000 out of pocket max. Every driver I know that has hit max makes 6 figures. We get so much OT.

I've been fortunate to work for one company in 35 years. UPS. Why waste your time working for the other 3. Go with the best to begin with and retire at a decent age!!!
@@vikings844 I won’t disagree. What makes UPS better, is the representation by Teamsters 👍🏽
As someone who works for USPS, I am here to say that it is a trash company to work. The way they treat employees is just horrible. The pay is much lower when compared to UPS. The temp mail carriers (CCAs) are abused and treated like slaves. It takes 2-3 years to become a regular and be eligible for full benefits / pension. The years spent as a CCA does not count towards our service and pensions, basically we worked 60-70 hours a week for years to then be told this time doesn't count towards retirement. Being a regular isn't much better. It takes almost 13 years to get to top pay. When including time being a CCA, literally it is about 15-16 years till one hits top pay. How is this acceptable? They cannot keep enough CCA's on the job, and they wonder why? What is worse that there are two pay tiers , one for old timers and one for those hired after 2013. Those hired after 2013 have to pay 3x as much towards their pension as the old timers to get same benefits. I can go on and on. This is a brutal job if you end up in the wrong area or the ghetto. Majority of the routes are extremely long and management constantly harasses carriers to make it back on time.
Couldn't agree more. Plus the brain dead management keeps taking on packages from both Amazon and UPS. No wonder UPS pays more when they don't have to work their drivers on Sundays anymore as the USPS does their job. The other factor the guy in the video misses is with the other package companies have to do are packages. Nothing like hauling a ton of redplums on top of UPS packages.
I’m a TTO (tractor trailer operator ) for USPS. Been here 16 years too pay is now right at $75000 a year. And with overtime well over 110k. If i don’t want overtime I can say no. If I want it I’ll stay. But that is the perk of seniority at the post office. You can just walk in the door to top pay.
I left UPS in 2005 making 26.15 an hour. Made 60,000 my final full year. I wish I had stayed I’d be retiring in 3 years. Oh well at least I’m not nearly as stressed out!

Currently I’m at Amazon and it’s definitely less at $17.50/hr. Probably the one and ONLY perk to deliver for Amazon is the 4 day/ 10hr per day schedule!

I'm a regular rural carrier with the usps. Usps is split into 2 crafts (rural and city carriers) and they are very different. City carriers start at around 18 like you said, but rural it's 19. This is nationwide as there's no cost of living adjustments for high cost areas. City carriers always make an hourly wage and get tons of OT so it's possible to make 6 figures once you're maxed out which takes 12 years. Regular Rural carriers make a salary based on the size of their route. If you're route is expected to take 9 hours per day, you make a salary equivalent to 45 hours per week with ot built in. However if you're good you'll often only actually work 35 hours except during Xmas. It works out in drivers favor by a mile overall though. I absolutely love my job but ups is the best choice by far financially. They have better unions. Federal employees can go to prison for striking and without that leverage we'll never get the pay we deserve.
There are cola for particular locales. Not many though. I think Hawaii is one of them.
With UPS, you normally start doing warehouse work and move to driver. Though that may have changed a little and had some hiring straight to driver recently
Worked for Fed Ex a couple months ago in Texas. $180 a day. $200 after first year of being a good boy- then 220-240.
I ended up working 3 12 hour days only getting paid 180 a day. That’s $15 an hour. Yes I was new I know but I was a week and half in (by myself on my own route) and it was only getting harder even tho I was getting better.
Anyways I called my old job they wanted me back delivering furniture. Gave me a $10 raise so now I make $300 a day instead of $180 with fed ex.

Current USPS Carrier, Max pay 34.5 per hr after 12.5 years, (prior service in government provides extra benefits) guaranteed 40 hrs, over 8hrs in a day time and a half, past 8pm double time, past 10pm triple time. Retirement Pension, TSP(401k), SS bridge to be able to retire early.
Its not all walking, Route style depends on area. large city like New York = relay boxes so all walking.
suburbs mostly driving routes cue in the LLVs or post trucks.
USPS has multiple Unions., NALC is the largest employee Union per Craft. So Union benefits.
Max pay is negotiated about ever 3 years and usually we get COLA and base pay increases that stagger throughout the life of the final contract. average hours for career carrier 50 hrs a week
did I mentions benefits for working for the federal government?
hope this helps
I’m a driver for ups in Illinois..Here in my 4th year i top out at 40 an hour.. currently in my 3rd year at 28 an hour..
I'm topped out here in Vegas
were you an outside hire? Im already at 33.74 and I just finally became a full time driver a few months ago will be at 40 in 4 years.
Yes I was but that’s how it for a package car driver.. are you a feeder driver?
@@carlosmendez1227 no im in the south eastern US. I drove as a cover driver before going into driving so i got locked in at 33.74 to start then about a year and a half later after driving every single day as a cover driver I became 22.4 apparently if you are a cover driver for 30 days they don't make you start at the bottom in pay
USPS pays 1.5 after 8 hrs and 2x after 10 hrs. That 70000 Max pay easily clears 100k when you calculate the overtime
Zay 75 what do CCA's make a year?
@@sandysrider1221 current base pay is just under $40000
@@Zayovaeast Thank you!
@@sandysrider1221 DON'T be a CCA !!! The job sucks b@lls ! The turnover rate is like 85% , it's rough on your body , and you'll have to worry about dogs on a regular basis.
Go into maintenance , start as a Custodian , take the Maintenance Exam and then work on the machinery. It's way easier ! Way better benefits , better working conditions and you'll climb the ladder much faster than a CCA ever will !
I started a year ago at $17 per hour as a Custodian , and within 8 months I was promoted to a Mail Processing Machine Mechanic making $31 per hour. The job is NOT difficult at all
Maintenance is the best job with USPS !
Believe it !
Yes! There are a couple regular MH at my plant who grossed over 150000 last year with all the overtime they worked.
Been with USPS for close to 12 years. Been a carrier for almost 8 of those. I know that depending on your carrier position, you top out at $34-35/hr not including COLA’s that we get annually. It takes 12.5 years top pay as well. But you also have option of wanting to work overtime or not (unless forced.) Benefits aren’t free like they are at UPS, but inexpensive and have options for great coverage whether single or family.
Second this, Im a city carrier in the bay area. Been one for about 5 years, 3 as a regular and 2 of which are CCA (Worst title)
I hated usps when I work for them the regulars are lazy as fuck they would not come to work and post master couldn’t force them and tell them shit so they expect the cca to do everything and that’s why they loose workers and they so understaff and I got a friend that did 5 years and his top pay was $20.50
I’m a former rural carrier for usps, just went to the inside to work. They’re now paying $19.50 per hour and I got a lot of overtime. Max check was $2714 after taxes
@@youngela7408 I work for USPS and a lot of the regulars are lazy 😹 but I would have never let that dictate my choices... Things like CCA or PSE are temporary titles and if you actually stuck out that lil chellenge it gets better because then you'd be a lazy regular lol
But I work in a plant not a station but still. I've been there for about 8 yrs and have never worked in a station 🤷🏿♀️
All things considered, the highest time to pay ratio is a rural Carrier with USPS. I work 8:30-14:00 every day and I get paid 9 hours.
Love your content, I just wanted to let you know I started working for USPS 3 year's ago and I'm a TTO driver ( Tractor Trailer Operator ) in Northern California/Bay Area , so I'm not a letter carrier ( mailman per say) but as a Tractor Trailer Operator the pay has improved since I started and I'm guessing is because the Postal Service was having a hard time recruiting good CDL drivers because of the low pay. Anyways I started at $22.74 per hour but as of right now I believe that the starting pay is $28 per hour. Now that I'm on my third year I'm at $31 and top pay is at around $36 per hour we will see what the next contract will bring, Also there's a lot of overtime for those who want to work it you are not forced into working it you can actually say NO! We receive 2 pay raises per year which also includes COLA ( cost- of -living -adjustment)and yes it's a cushy & comfy government job no doubt especially a TTO driver, letter carrier is a whole different ballgame and they work extremely hard and long hours but they do make closer to 100k per year because of the overtime. I hope this helps anyone who may be interested in working here. The Benefits are good not great because we pay a substantial amount out of our paychecks but we have a pension and a 401k that the Postal Service matches and I believe we have lifetime medical benefits for you and your spouse when you retire .
Whats up coworker!!! lol
USPS tops out at around 75k now here in NC. While Fed Ex and UPS may make a little more money the postal services benefits are usually way better. That is the main difference.
Do y'all pay for benefits? We don't pay for anything at UPS. Free medical, pension, 401k. I think y'all used to have the best beenfits
@@phybaoptikzI guarantee you the pension is not free and most definitely the 401k isn't either. You have to pay into those. Thats how they work.

Pretty accurate stuff, like you said it varies state to state for $ per hour, and yes lots of drivers here in the north east make over 100k$ a year after their 4 year seniority

FedEx driver here as well. I work on avg 5 hrs a day while getting my salary pay. Great pay for the amount of hrs I work but no benefits
Yep I’m fed ex express I drive the tugs at the indianapolis hub airport love it and benefits are amazing
I drive the tugs in Cali👍
In Massachusetts Amazon goes from $16.50 to $20.50 west to east. The closer to Boston the higher the pay. Benefits depend on the DSP, just like paid for the full 10 hour shift and if you get snow tires on your van or not 🙄. My local UPS driver said he makes $39.80 an hour and showed me his paycheck with a take home of over $1,500 for the week.

USPS to start now is $19 and once you become FT it tops out at $35 and you get annual general increases plus Cost of Living twice a year. You will get tons of overtime so your annual pay will be much higher.
Clocked 6 figures 2 years ago but had no personal life💸😥
I worked for FedEx ground. Str8 boo boo. Ups is the best. Factz. FedEx express 2nd place In my opinion.
I work at UPS in Jersey, start at 21, every year you get a raise, 23, 24, 28.75, 39 at the end of 2023. Every year after you hit top rate you get a wage increase due to inflation. We work long hours, but after 8 you get time in a half. Some guys make 130 k a year over here. Put in the work and you get paid.
I started with USPS as a Custodian about a year ago , making approx $17 per hour. In USPS Maintenance they promote from within the company, and I received 4 promotions in 8 months and now work as a Mail Processing Equipment Mechanic , making $31 per hour. Almost doubled my pay in 8 months ! All the overtime I can handle , if I want it ; good benefits and a lot of good training.
F' driving for these companies ; go into maintenance. Easier work , better pay , no dogs will chase you and you'll climb the ladder WAY FASTER than a driver ever will !
Seriously.
How do you get into that? I assume you need experience or school to learn
@@luisc2496 You can apply on line for the Custodian position ( USPS Careers). After you get hired , you can sign up to take the Maintenance 955 exam , after that , they will give you a general interview about maintenance. Depending on your scores , you will either stay as a Custodian , or quilify for a level 7 Mechanic , level 9 Mechanic or a level 10 Electronic Technician. You can take the test and interview every 6 months and try and improve your scores.
It doesn't take too much maintenance experience...in the interview , you can relate your experience to something as simple as working on your own car , lawnmower, gixing things around the house. Doesn't necessarily require "job" experience.
Doesn't hurt to apply.
How did you jump to mechanic so fast? Did you have prior experience, or did they train you?
@@ramongotkix2826 the current multiple choice test is easy. The test used to be tough. They used to test hundreds at a time and even seasoned mechanics/electronic techs couldn't pass the old test. The pass rate was about 1%. However, the easy test turns out terrible mechanics. The seasoned mechanics have to work harder to make up for the deficiencies of the newer mechanics. There is no training in the post office. New mechanics will say there's training (the in house training) but nothing beats vocational education getting into a maintenance field.

Thank you for the vid and work you did to share this info!
I've been a rural carrier for USPS for 23 years. At least for the rural side of the company your pay is mainly based off the size of your route and many factors such as mail/parcel volume, number of stops, seniority, mileage, vehicle government or personally owned, ect determine your pay. My route is a 47k...meaning 47hrs paid every week plus K meaning one day off per 6 day week. If you end up working your K day its an additional day of pay at 150% of route evaluation or you can choose an additional day of annual leave for future use. I always choose the money. Based off our lastest COLA raise my routes base salary is over $87,000. Now add an almost guaranteed 25-40 K days worked per year because of shortage of subs and six figures is definitely achievable. Other than Christmas time I'm still typically home by 2-3 every day. Great benefits!! Can't complain really🤷♂️
post office pay stay the same no matter where you go in the country, I work there so yea I make 59.000 after 8yrs here in cali.as a clerk, the carriers make more than clerks but if I moved to any where in the US my pay stays the same.

Thanks Tory! Appreciate the love
Very cool video! I used to drive for FedEx Ground and now drive for Amazon.
I worked on FedEx Express in México, and FedEx doesn't pay much than others delivery company, but we see a great different pay on USA
You income you need to consider cost of living for each area. Another thing to consider is what is delivered and where it has to be delivered; for example USPS is the only delivery service allowed to use a mailbox, but delivers checks, letters and anything else that is postage paid with anything not fitting in the box going to the front door, all other delivery services must go to the front porch.
Im a ups driver top pay is close to 40 in Ny but the job is not easy and you have to make into the union to get a full time position and thats based off your performance, all month ive done no less than 200 stops daily
200 stops is no joke. I felt that
What’s the max you can make in nyc as a package driver working 6 days a week?
@@DaBank did u find out yet? I also wanna know
Besides the hourly wage you have to include benefits, paid medical/dental, 401k, holiday pay, PENSION and vacation time. UPS is king of the hill, along with the fact there is a union to back you up or keep the company honest. I got 8 weeks vacation at 30 years. Vacations are 50 hours. Not worried about UPS shutting down either.
i leave 10$ on my doorstep everytime i got something super expensive.
Post office also has a 6 day work week. Time and a half over 8 hours, double time over 10 hours. I know carriers making $120,000 a year.

I remember getting a tupawear container of home made cookies from the ladies 80 year old mother bro they was so good. I had a chance to thank the lady who made them couple days later. Bless her heart! (Around amazon peak season)
Fedex Express top pay for driver is $35/hr where I’m at, but you still get yearly raises (so it’s not actually top pay) and it’s a cake walk compared to UPS and fedex ground. But it takes a very long time to get to that top rate
How long?
@@edwingarcia3250 25 years. It ain’t worth it
It must be nice, in my local top out for an RTD is 30.50 an hour. Heard we will get a 3% raise in October. That will put us at 31.42. Just another slap in the face for the front line AGF&S drivers. The company will probably raise our portion of healthcare costs so it will basically negate the raise. Same ole song and dance. 26 years in and your right, it ain't worth it.
@@edwingarcia3250 about 23-25 years it takes where I’m at

I’ve been a FXG driver for 2 years, I left for FXE and after 2 months i returned back to Ground. FXE is a great company it definitely has a corporate feel everything is about accountability and you need codes for everything you do you definitely feel like someone is over your shoulder. You’re always in constant contact with dispatch before your last stop you need to let dispatch know you’re heading to your last stop and before you return to the station you have to be cleared by dispatch. They do this just in case someone needs help either with pick ups or deliveries. Another thing is you have time commitments 10:30am-12:00pm deliveries. This means you have to deliver these packages before if not management will have some questions. Of course this is not always the case, sometimes you’ll have late freight and those commitments can’t be fulfilled. When you have late freight dispatch will let you know someone will be meeting you so you can deliver the late packages. And of course you definitely get benefits. My Ground contractor offers benefits too. I like Ground because you load your van and once everything is done you take off. Oh, another thing at Express you scan and load your packages. I’m currently getting paid $23 at Ground and I was getting paid $19.81 at Express.
but with Express there is a a possibility to unionize because you directly work for Fedex
I can’t believe anybody would work for ground!..Such a waste…No benefits..no insurance…
I started with USPS as a clerk working every day for 9+ hours…I decided that was not for me so I took a slight pay cut and went over to maintenance and became a career employee.I then got promoted and took the position as a postal police officer.I’m now looking to become a postal inspector once the portal opens up…they start off at 80k get a government car really great gig

you mean like amazon dsp that promise 10 hour pay? but i heard that they always make you do rescues to lengthen your time.

Fuck that I need hourly due to the amount you do and going out helping other workers
I worked at every one except UPS.. heres my experience lets start with Amazon since thats where I started first. The contractor I was with at the time i think it was like $15 a hr which is trash I do think they had benefits like health insurance etc though. Next USPS I started at like $17 something but after a few months was at $18 Something still trash, however USPS AlWAYS have OT so it averages out to more but still the base pay for what you have to do at the Post Office should be more. Fedex Ground the contractor was paying $20 and there was always at least 5-10hrs of OT from my experience there but the benefits wasnt so good and insurance was very expensive. Fedex Express im at $21 Something but the benefits are really good however at my station its kinda hard to get OT so it still averages out to probally just a little bit more than the others if you wasnt doing alot of OT. Now out of the 4 ive listed USPS from my experience you probably can make the most because your always working with no work life balance but at the same time have pretty decent checks so idk
Everything is trash to you stop complaining you should be grateful.

With all the postal overtime I was getting last year I made $70,000 and that was only being in for 3 years. Since then my particular office has gotten better at staffing so a lot of that overtime has gone but at least now I'm full career status and can expect a guaranteed 40 hour week with some ot here and there
So relax working for Ground, you just have to pay attention to the pick ups windows, then you can route yourself anyway you want 😌
opposite of Amazon
Wow what a great customer you have in the US in my country people barely says thank you when I deliver.
I'm a former mail-carrier for USPS and I strongly advice against working there. They will exploit you as a temporary-employer for a couple years which means all the work you'll do does not count towards retirement or pay step-increases. Even after working for 5-6 years, you'll still be at the bottom of the payscale and seniority because the years you work as a temp never counted. Basically still making $20 an hour after 5-6 years. You're better off at UPS or FedEx!
dont be a temp
Several areas have started hiring carriers starting as PTF which is a career position starting at day 1.
Maybe as a rural carrier u would waste years...Im a regular city carrier and the shortest time we converted someone was 2 months...but yes they have started hiring PTFs...I love my job...I work my 40 hours and go home..

Most USPS carriers have been working ridiculous overtime the last couple of years and make a lot more than you mentioned in the video, although it's hurting the workforce and a lot of people are quitting or taking early retirement.
I've noticed that too where I live. I joined the USPS a year ago and I've been making a lot of money due to overtime alone. But I'm afraid to switch to a bigger facility, as they are infamous for forcing their workers to go 10 to 14 days without a day off. I much prefer to be one of the guys who come in to help out. Been considering if I should switch to UPS but I think it would be best to appreciate what I've got right now.

Thanks for the video bro!
For USPS there’s 2 delivery crafts
City carriers: 20$ an hour plus+ they get benefits and overtime after 10 hours per day and double time after 12 hours
Rural carriers start out hourly and start around 20$ once you get your own route you convert to salary. After OT I know of people making over 100k$ per craft.
Overtime after 8
Double time after 10

work yoruself into early grave
Which would you recommend of the 2?
Been at UPS a little over 2 years and should be going to Driving school soon before PEAK season thank god! There is no way to start out as a driver at UPS fyi. You have to put in your time as a package handler. I wish I would have started at 18! I definitely can’t wait for the giant pay increase and I don’t know of any other company that has the benefits UPS does📦📦📦
To get your yearly salary at 40hrs a week just multiply your hourly wage by 2,080. There are 2,080 hours in a "work year". Nice video!
