The headline is misleading. It's not actually $170k salary. It's a base salary of something like $95k and then various (mostly standard) benefits that they mark up the value of to claim it as being worth the remainder.
- olyjohn 3y agoThat still seems really high. I don't believe it. https://www.jobs-ups.com/category/delivery-driver-jobs/1187/4674/1 https://www.jobs-ups.com/category/delivery-driver-jobs/1187/... All these delivery driver jobs are $21-28/hr that I could see. I don't know how you can make anywhere near $95,000/yr unless you're getting paid mega overtime. If they are using overtime stats to prop up their average pay, that's horse shit.
- jfengel 3y agoOvertime does seem to be part of it: "drivers earned about $95,000 in pay annually on average or about $42 an hour" That's 2261 hours per year, or 43.5 hours per week. More when you take into account that most people get vacation time and holidays. Still, I don't think that's the issue you're noticing. The average is twice the starting salary. So it sounds as if they ramp up salary fairly quickly, and/or have very long careers.
