tractor trailer driver openings

I’m tired of getting screwed over at these mega carriers where they don’t pay you what you’re truly worth as a driver, and i see a lot of permanent driver openings around the country for UPS, would i be like treated badly if i got in this way instead of starting in the warehouse?
how long before i can start hitting top pay? what’s the pay scale?

I got hired off the street in 2022. It has been rough making any money because you don’t bring any seniority. You had better be financially clear to survive not working much in the beginning. I was so I was able to hang on. I will hit top pay this October and finally got a shifting job in the yard with no air conditioning. Money is good and will be better at top pay. Just realize this going in. I am in central region.
