IS 48 too old to start @ UPS?

[brown_trousers]

I bet its doable at 48. But at high risk to your knees, back, shoulder, etc...

Add in a few weeks worth of intermittent FMLA and short term disability. I think its possible

I agree . if you are a potential scab then you are not welcome in my book.

otherwise i started here at almost 38 and left at almost 59. glad i left when i did. was taking a toll on body and i was in feeder.

Toll on your body in feeder?

Would that be EAS?

I started at 47yo. Preload for 6 weeks, then won a utility bid. Coming up on my BIG raise.

It was very tough to start, my body hated me. My body still hates me, but in different spots.

The best advice I can give you, that no one gave me is this... 9.5 list for your whole career. It might be possible to make it to 20 years at 67 with 9.5 for 10 months a year.

The best thing about starting at 48 is that you don’t already have 30 years of UPS wear and tear on the body.

Be as disgusting as you wish. The medical benefits are a positive for working in package in your 50's.

Big deal my scout leader in boy scouts gave them out for free every Friday.

fixed it for you

 

[old levi's]

Yes, you are too old for ups, find something else.

If you were 20 years old, I would not recommend this job.

Look elsewhere.

If you work that hard, pace at any other business you own the amount of money you make will make more lot more money .

Plumbers, Electricians, mowing, window cleaning fill in the blank.

Andre the Giant was size 23 wide feet.
