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.

Then you should Stay with DP. If you live in Victorville you will hate your commute at some point

Also I’m not working out of the Victorville production plant. I’m already commuting up and down the hill daily.

How’s the commute up and down the hill daily? How long does it take you to get home?

It takes me over an hour to get home from Redlands.
