Must be something to it. Our UPS guy that shows up everyday at work is on vacation for two weeks. Granted they bust ass all day everyday and it's brutal at Christmas time. But yeah that's a lot of money. I wonder what percentage their rate will be going up.

They are counting Insurance and benefits in that total.

This may be True, my wife was a manager at Fed-Ex for 22yrs, she made more than this, I told her to retire between the 2 of us, our yearly Taxes were killing us. She's never been happier since she retired.

Yep. Should equate to 50-65% of that. Still better than Uber I guess.

If I send something or it's being sent by UPS I know it's going to arrive

My UPS guy is awesome and earns every penny of his pay…FedEx on the other hand, they can go kick sand!

Prior to whatever the new agreement is, average pay for UPS drivers was $95k annually. It seems reasonable to me, depending on where you live.

They do have to hustle and all it takes is an accident or two and they're on the streets.
