[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 251596, member: 9789"] [b]Re: 45 yr old considering PT Handler job for benefits. Some questions & input desired[/b] Everbody gave you some good info but because it can be different throughout the country you should go into Human Resources (HR) they can answer all your questions for the area you will get hired in. Bring some of the info you have learned and be specific with your questions. Hey - you even got good advice about working for an airline!!! You get discounted airfare after a period of time also!! The least amount of wear and tear starting position is unloading. The company cannot guarentee you that position. You need to unload at approx 1000 packages an hour. After your initial classroom training - when you are by yourself - the first week can be compared to "hell week" in football. Get through that and the sore muscles and you will have it made. After 6 months learning the job you may want to look at a PT or Steward position. Your maturity will benefit you in a leadership role. Good Luck Bigger buildings have more movement more opportunity - a lot of different jobs to offer. Smaller buildings less positions and movement but can offer a look into what UPS was when it was a smaller company. [/QUOTE]
