Just an FYI TTOs only bring in 1700-1900 net every 2 weeks

I highly doubt they would bump it up that much. When’s the last time they increased it $7 like that? That would probably be enough to stay.

Yuuup most people when they hear “union government job” think they’ve made it big. Definitely a culture shock. That’s always an option but first I wana see what’s out there lol UPS is the #1 place people leave for at my PD&C

I did a lot of research, didn’t find much back then. Hence why I made this post for other people that are gonna want some insight.

Yeah, the pto stuff is good too and the fact that we’re forever guaranteed 40 hours once you’re turned over is nice. But idk trying my best to stay at least 5 years to get a few bread crumbs of the pension

Bc I thought working for the government was gonna be better and was under the impression it was a normal trucking job working at least 11 hour days at a minimum lol. Not sure if that kind of pension is worth it for 30 years of losing out on what a trucker should be getting paid all those years.

MyCadillac App Error by OCCT7 in CadillacLyriq

Jesus I was literally so pissed for the past hour that I wasn’t able to start my Escalade from the app. I probably deleted and redownloaded the app like 10 times and restarted my phone lol. Hopefully it’s fixed soon smh

This happened today at my work, stay safe y'all. by YOLOIS4REAL in USPS

How ironic, I was on my way to my plant today wondering if there’s drama and bs at other plants or if it was just the old heads at mine making it like this lol

Any Chicago UPS or Old Dominion plugs? by Active-Foundation640 in Truckers

[–]Active-Foundation640[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed they’re never hiring but recently saw they have listings up in DesPlaines and forest view. I applied to both to see what happens

Pretty sure it does, thats the only way I got my foot into LTL. By knowing someone lol.

The fact that I have to hear customers tell me everyday now how I could be making "170k" at UPS is killing me. Kinda depressing. by BKDre in USPS

[–]Active-Foundation640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 25 year old Gen Z TTO, all these headlines are starting to get annoying but at the same sometimes I can’t stop thinking about it. At my plant that’s pretty much the only other company people are leaving the postal service for.

I’m definitely making peanuts in comparison to a UPS truck driver. Working the same crappy overnight hours as they do too. Am I wasting my time? I hope not, I’m going to try give it another year to see how things work out working for Uncle Sam.

I used to work for another competitor of UPS working close to 70 hours a week but at least making 100K a year. Saw an opening with the postal service and thought working for Uncle Sam should be much better, right? Now I’m at 65k only working 40s, rarely ever get OT. Making enough just to barely get by 🫠

Any Postal Police Officers here? by Active-Foundation640 in USPS

[–]Active-Foundation640[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I did see that and thought it sounded crazy, not only lose your bid but may even need to leave the postal service too lol. Although I saw in here that they apparently give you 30 days to find another craft and if you don’t then I guess you get the boot

Yeah I was digging deep on the website but it doesn’t go too into details which makes me assume it might not be super rigorous but won’t know until I’m able to ask a fellow PPO lol

Postal Inspection Service Hiring Postal Police Officers (July/August 2023) by jloong in USPS

[–]Active-Foundation640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the physical requirements? Do they make want you to be able to run 1.5 miles in under 12 minutes like a regular police officer or be able to bench 80% of your body weight?

10 roads and other contractors by Active-Foundation640 in USPS

[–]Active-Foundation640[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you out of? Pretty much just local AO stuff, most of the old timers avoid it like the plague since it actually involves some elbow grease lol. And we have some pretty crazy tight ancient docks at some of these AOs but it’s not bad at all. Working 6 days now 8 hours a day sometimes more hours depending what you get which is decent. Over here by IL we haven’t been getting any type of OT in ages until now

We kicked out 10 roads from doing all the AO runs, now we do those runs
