Second, if I do international flying(probably contradicts above?). One of the things I really like to do at my current gig is bring home food from the various countries. Thailand Curry, New Zealand Lamb, Japanese Fish. We eat really well here, and I'm lucky as there are little to no rules here about what I can bring back. Is this possible at UPS? How are the customs when you arrive? Is it typical US B.S.? Am I gonna have to forget about this?
For your first question, I'm in my first year on the bus holding reserve living in domicile. Last month I was home 24 days out of 30, this month expecting 20 or 21 days home. YMMV but that's what I've been tracking. Couldn't be happier, good luck!
