Hey folks. I seen a couple of UPS delivery people using their own cars. How does this work in terms of insurance? What do they get paid? Much less?

$21.00/hr & 50/mi.
Insurance seems to be a gray area that nobody wants to get intoNot too bad. Are they union, then? And does the company cover insurance?
I checked this insurance issue out thoroughly. Between my normal insurance and the POLICY UPS provided I'm good. Good as can be in a country full of sue happies.make sure they have the DOT placard visible on their car converting their personal car to a temporary commercial delivery vehicle........also ensure that their own insurance company is aware of this.......
So, UPS hands you an insurance card?I checked this insurance issue out thoroughly. Between my normal insurance and the POLICY UPS provided I'm good. Good as can be in a country full of sue happies.
Using his own car for what exactly? Why was he doing this?I knew a case where a driver was using his own car, got into a minor avoidable accident and ups wouldn't pay and the persons insurance company wouldn't pay meaning the company and insurance company pointed at each other to pay.....since the accident was termed avoidable ( no surprise ) the accident counted against his C.O.H. years......The driver position was since he was paying it shouldn't be counted against his C.O.H driving record .........The union did a good countenance but not good enough.....Its no wonder why accidents are hidden and drivers will take the chance.......Too bad..many great drivers have run afoul. of situations like this one and other similar ones.....

Our local does PLUS the company has to contribute to the pension as well as the Health & Welfare fund for each hour worked.Some locals have seasonal employees paying initiation fees and dues. Some locals only charge dues. Idk ask your BA. If you are in a RTW state i'd imagine a rather small percentage of seasonal employees are paying dues.
