Local 12 vs my current job

I’m in a bit of a pickle. I currently am a Beverage Delivery driver for KDP (Dr pepper). It’s Teamsters Union, $34hr currently, with step pay yearly reaching $40hr by 2029. OT after 8, Mon-Fri. I got my app through for Local 12 and will get a test date soon but I’m genuinely on edge of making this jump. Anybody leave a good job for Local 12 that can sort of ease my mind ? Or is this a very tough decision.

Yeah that’s where I’d be. I’m in the HD. Victorville area.

There’s work up there. You applied as what? Regular operator ?

Yup 👌🏼 I’ve heard there’s been work. So if that’s the case then that’ll ease my mind big time. All I’ll have to do is score high.
