[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1318660, member: 50088"] I think this idea about our hours being hard on wives is overblown. So we get home an hour or two later than a typical 5pm finisher. Those that finish work at 5 likely start an hour earlier than we do at 8am. If you are getting home at 9 then your center sucks. I'm done at 6:30-7 each night. Also to consider is that drivers make the equivalent of two average incomes therefore allowing the wife to stay home. Isn't that a far better scenario than the millions of mothers that are forced to work full time while raising kids to get by? Seems to me that UPS wives are better off. If your wife can't handle you getting home at 7pm each night, then that's pretty sad. There's tons of jobs that have much crappier hours. My brother in law is a registered nurse and works 3rd shift while his wife works day shift and they have a baby. Try that! Or how about working retail and working until 10-11pm. They can't be married either? Not sure what world many of you are living in, but take a look around. It's not sunshine and lollipops everywhere outside of UPS. [/QUOTE]
