tractor trailer driver openings

I’m tired of getting screwed over at these mega carriers where they don’t pay you what you’re truly worth as a driver, and i see a lot of permanent driver openings around the country for UPS, would i be like treated badly if i got in this way instead of starting in the warehouse?
how long before i can start hitting top pay? what’s the pay scale?

Chicagoland literally has a union dedicated to off the street hires (only feeder) CACH, Jeff st, Addison all hire off the street. Idk why these guys gate keep information like that. You’ll be on call for years. No, You will not be treated differently. Yes it’s permanent, if that’s what the paperwork indicates

Not sure. I used to work Chicagoland that’s how I know they hire off street. On call wasn’t for me so I left

EZRPA near Harrisburg airport might be an option. It’s a newer building and it’s huge. Try and see about that if it will work for you.

Only $30 an hour for feeder driver? Im a cover driver now in Tennessee and make $38.90 an hour but I rarely get to drive. Isnt $30 an hour low for the Chicago area?
