That’s Craptacular
And you wonder why drivers in your building "almost kill you"?Because he's not a greedy and selfish union thug. And I used that term loosely.

$25/hour plus benefits is IMO an appropriate wage for this job.
1) Yes.
2) There are people who could replace me but they are few and far between.
Ours is job which only requires a HS diploma and valid drivers license.
"few"? No uh, I think many. If I can work in a dusty warehouse loading 1000+ packages while on my feet for the whole night, moving back and forth from trailer to trailer, to package car to package car at a constant pace, in worse weather than you drivers, I'm sure that many part-timers and I can do the job as good or better than any driver and last as long or longer than any driver can last. Plus we're doing it for chump change, while you drivers on the other hand are getting a fair days pay for a fair days work while it's very debatable that you guys are overpaid.
First of all, your WHOLE night is what 4 or 5 hours long. Try 10+ hrs everyday. In worse weather conditions?? Does it rain or snow in your building?? Chump change? Kid, you're making nothing because you've worked there what, two whole months? You think it's bad now, wait till PEAK! We worked 45-50 hour weeks last peak...craziest peak i've done so far. And, might I add, you are a 19 year old kid, i'm a woman in my 30's who's been loading for 6 yrs, looking at another 2 yrs before I can go driving. Stop thinking you're better than everyone.

I always find this argument hilarious.
Like if someone would have wasted their way through college partying and getting some lame degree like a BS in Communications they should deserve $7 more bucks an hour.
That's how society works, and I think it's just. People who have degrees or trades have a more complex knowledge than you and I - which makes them more rare, and rare things are always more expensive. Anybody out there can go out and get their driver's license in a month or two and become a great driver within 6 months or less. And anybody who is not dumb can live without committing a crime for 10 yrs or up until death.
You act as if drivers never had to work for peanuts in the warehouse. I did for 5.5 years. Get over it.
Oh please, don't come up with that crap. Back then, the wait time wasn't more than 3 yrs on average. Plus many drivers were hired off the street straight into full time, hence upstate aka dave.

Is it me or is it you changing your personality? You were once a part timer based on your prior posts, now you are a driver working 45-50 hours a week? And your whole argument is nothing but failure. The hours you work has nothing to do with how hard you work, I unload more packages than any driver has ever delivered in their whole shift in less than an hour. Driving in bad weather in a car has no effect on your body but the car.
if you READ my post, i've been a LOADER for six years. We worked 45-50 hours PRELOAD last peak. You'd know that if you ever worked a xmas peak, but oh wait, you haven't been here that long. And last time I checked, the drivers have to GET OUT of the car and walk in the rain/snow to DELIVER the packages. Or did you think every house, office and building has a drive-thru window??Is it me or is it you changing your personality.
