Never stopped you from picking on Moreluck...and she's someone's Grandma!

Oh I know...He loves to talk smack about a job he's never done..and how much better he is than me because he's a driver...lol. And then he'll go on to insult drivers too...oh you deliver QVC to hoarders . He must be sooo much fun on dates! lmao

I'm truly sorry that you had to encounter upstate on your first visit. Perhaps the depression you are now feeling will only be temporary.

Who else?? lol

bottom line- if you want this, you can do it

I started driving at 44, and most people in this job think they should be retired by 55

44 is young

44 is young-----just not on the preload.

Wondering if there are any "older", female package handlers out there and what advice you might have?

As stated, I'm 44, in decent shape and interviewing for package handler on the sunrise shift. Am I crazy in thinking I can handle this? Is there any real advancement opportunities?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

TY!

Give it a shot. If hard work and the early hours are no problem, you will be ok.

I work with two women that are older than 44. One is late 40 ' s and the other one is around 60.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

She can do it!

 

[ZQXC]

you don't know JACK about preload

 

[scrltrider]

retired by 55

I wish! I'll feel lucky if I'm retired by 75!

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

Hey, 44 is a whippersnapper to me. lol. It will probably be the most strenuous job you ever had, but you won't need no stinkin pilates if you work here. good luck to you.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Its all about conditioning. Not about age or sex. I see plenty of 20 year olds,that give up after a few days.

Mind over matter.

You haven't even been hired yet..don't start counting your chickens.

Well, I wasn't necessarily referring to UPS, just having to work in general...
