    I am looking for a review from any owner operating for UPS. They are advertising to hire independents in my area and would like to know how it's going.

    I seen same thing. It's actually a contractor for UPS , NOT UPS directly. Click on the blue link you see on that advertising. It's you leasing on with a contractor that has that contract.Can't remember where i seen it but think on Craigslist. Really think UPS needs drivers bad enough to advertise on there?? I haven't but prob best to actually go to UPS website.

    Ohhh Cool. That would be a nice deal. I know my area they'll be hiring like crazy cause their building a new Amazon warehouse 1.2 Million Sq.ft. just up the road. And if you seen 60 Minutes other night they constantly loading trailers non stop.

    NO WAY!!! Your telling me all them O/O getting .90cpm a load? We all know it cost more than that to run a truck. I don't believe that for a second.

    first thing you have to understand and get a grip on, there is a huge difference between UPS and UPS freight. two different animals , and the guy is right ups freight is one of those .90 to 1.00 a mile plus fuel surcharge deals.

    Have to stick foot in my mouth now !! I contacted UPS about this and already have a response and it is .90 CPM and pays 100% of FC as of today is .44 . All drop and hook and out 10-14 days. Someone please explain how O/O make any money at that figure? Cause their requirements on trucks they accept have to be pretty new. So good chance most have payments right? What am I missing here?
