A UPS worker said he worked 91 hours in the week leading up to Christmas.
The package handler worked as a seasonal driver to earn over 50 hours of overtime pay.
In the end, he made $2,670 before taxes for one week of work.

Even part-timers at UPS can make big bucks during the peak holiday season.

The internet seems to love talking about how highly compensated UPS drivers are for their services, and one package handler told BI it's true — if you're willing to work 80-plus hours a week.
