How long did it take you to become a driver.

[bleedinbrown58]

I drove from day 1, and made seniority right after peak (hired in October).

However, I always respected part-timers, and have never lorded over them.

Give it a break, Dave.

Don't mind Upstate...he put his manpon in sideways today. And his movie theater ran out of the butter topping for the popcorn, so I think there was a chafing sitiation...I dunno...Inde tends to mumble...lmao.

8.5 years in now, hoping to be full time before the next contract. Looks like that will be cutting it close.

Started at 18. 10 yrs PT. Package driver since 1989. Might soon be changing my screen name to 45 and out or 50 and out. 40 and out probably not going to happen.

Hey, as long as you are healthy and can do the job, why not stay and collect those fat pay checks? You will be happy you did when you turn 90.

....or you could set aside money, live within your means and retire while you can still walk....

You know if you get surgery done for your torn meniscus youll probably be out through peak right? Which isn't a bad thing lol. 12 weeks is about the norm with that surgery and this job. Don't want to come back to early with that surgery. Takes a while to get the strength and mobility back.
