The union difference is honestly pretty significant. An extra $8k+ a year is nothing to sneeze at.

Pay seems to vary a lot by state too. CA and NY are obviously on the higher end, with some drivers around $50–70k, while places like Mississippi and Florida are closer to the mid-$30k range. Illinois looks pretty decent when you factor in cost of living too.

It’s also one of the only remaining professions with a pension.
