Runner gunners

Not even that, just time takes its toll on you, can't avoid it

Also. We are human forklifts

Runner gunners

Stepping up and down over and over will aggravate them

That's the truth

It is good buddy

We have five guys out right now probably are not going to ever be able to come back to work

Most of my ups related ailments disappeared in about 6 weeks

 

[textat3]

It took me awhile, but I ultimately realized that 90% or more of the so-called stress of being a package car driver was stress I created for myself.

Once I surrendered to the clock, took it one delivery and package at a time, took all of my personal time daily, empowered myself by enacting all contractual protections, a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders, legs and back.

I made more money, did less work and the quality of all my time was greatly increased.

Not everyone is capable of this epiphany, but I have always offered my testimony to anyone willing to listen and invited them to heed the mindset I described.

I hope at least one person who reads this finds value in it.

bingo

I've had both of my knee's scoped because of those forking things.

Tear in the medial meniscus on my right knee, and a tear in the lateral meniscus on my left knee.

I was no runner. It was just the repetitive motion of getting in and out of those trucks.

A lot of drivers with bad knees after 30-40 year careers

It is a zen state that younger drivers struggle with. I have seen veteran drivers fizzle and fall out due to the mental stress.
