[QUOTE="Goldilocks, post: 986452, member: 41888"] vantexan, when I started not everything was peachy. It was very difficult as a female in a male dominate company. I started out as a courier in a Major downtown market. We were scheduled to off load the ctv (there was no such thing as a Handler) we did all, then go to our trucks around 0830 then set up and hit the road. I carried 2 carts of freight at a time. Pushing one and pulling the other. Then would go back load up again. I did this pregnant. It was very difficult. Management was very stricked about sick calls and work ethics, it was so much harder back then than it is today. I have a friend with a 4 digit employee number, they had to follow UPS to get buisness for Fedex. He started in the 70's. Sure, couriers were allowed to smoke on the belt and go out to lunch with managers and maybe have a drink with lunch but times have changed. We worked much harder than today. You know the difference? We worked as a TEAM...Most stations have lost that. We had fun together at work and social events. I was in a station the other day, a very small station and they still have that teamwork.
