The deal, which was reached on July 25, will increase full-time workers' compensation to $170,000 from roughly $145,000 over five years, according to UPS' calculations. It will also boost part-time workers' salaries to at least $25.75 per hour, and end mandatory overtime, Tomé told investors on Tuesday.

By the end of the new contract, full-time UPS delivery drivers will make an average of $49 per hour, which works out to nearly $102,000 per year, assuming a 40-hour workweek, 52 weeks a year. Those employees are guaranteed an eight-hour workday, a UPS spokesperson told CBS MoneyWatch.

Drivers also receive $50,000 in benefits "that include health, welfare and pension contributions," the spokesperson said.

That places UPS drivers near the same pay grade as software developers, finance directors and physician assistants, who all earn average salaries in the $108,000 - $115,000 range, according to Indeed.

Guess I need to become a ups driver

I work in a luxury retail shopping center. We got a UPS guy that handles the stores, this man has EVERY woman working in the area swooning over him. My man is living the life, and to know he’s making $170k? A legend I might just have to ask him if he’s aware of any openings.

you’re not able to just get hired and start driving

you have to spend a few years in the warehouse, sorting packings, loading trucks ext.

Get this: they deserve more

Real talk

even before all of this discourse it was immensely better than factory work for a million reasons on top of REAL pay. outside of trades no real options that let you live well off without education

All my USP drivers better be looking like this
