depends on your state and even city, the Toledo hub had the worst union deal, no break or "lunch" [ its hard work n you need energy], and you gotta load trucks for about 10 years before you can drive. And when you load trucks its a 5hr min, try n live off 5hrs a day.
Though if you could make it past the 90days, once in the union, long as you showed up on time you were untouchable.
union guys would stomp a test package right in front of a boss for sending it down the wrong shoot on purpose. The had just lost the hickory farm account when I started cause they ate it all but I did get the fun of nightly gumball fights when someone was dumb enough to ship em easy to open.
Was during that Gateway computer rage, I member the union way to load them, kick em off the belt into the belly of the truck. as if you tried to load anything proper you got backed up. Dunno how any of them things worked.
RPS/Fedex was a much nicer place, no slave drivers trying to break you in your first 90 days, half the belt speed so you could actually load a package proper, 110% less stress. Same hrs and pay.
