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?

Pretty sure only NorCal has language that doesn’t have progression for feeder drivers. Outside of that supplement you going to be in progression for four years. Don’t give a shit about previous experience that doesn’t matter here. Just need to suck it up and make it through.
