how long til you are able to drive tho? i heard fed ex will start you as a driver right away but UPS has a waiting line of like 3 years.. so youre a loader until you find an open spot. Dont you have to be 21 and over to drive too?

termite exterminator pays 18 an hour starting.. and you only work 3 hours but get paid the full 8.

TO BE A FEDEX DRIVER YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR OWN TRUCK.. (i think the company can help you pay for it somehow) DRIVERS ARE NOT FEDEX EMPLOYEES JUST CONTRACTORS.. IF YOU'RE A EMPLOYEE YOU'LL HAVE TO QUIT THEN BECOME A DRIVER.. UPS DRIVERS ARE DETERMINED BY SENOIRITY

WELL THE DOWNSIDE OF FEDEX IS THAT THERE IS NO 401K BENEFITS (i found this out after i got hired) THERE ARE FULL BENEFITS BUT YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE 1,000 HOURS OR ONE YEAR OF EMPLOYMENT... NOT MUCH ROOM FOR ADVANCEMENT.. BUT THE WORK IS TOUGH YOU WILL LOOSE WEIGHT AFTER WORKIN THERE AWHILE.. UPS IS A BIGGER COMPANY THEN FEDEX BUT FEDEX STARTS YOU OFF AT 10.00 AN HOUR V.S. 8.50 AT UPS... 12 BUX AN HOUR IS THE MAX OF A PACKAGE HANDLER SALERY UNLESS YOU WORK PRELOAD WHICH STARTS OUT AT 11 BUT ENDS AT 13 AN HOUR..
