[QUOTE="Dr.Brownz, post: 2339010, member: 52793"] Yes being a driver is a very physically demanding job. Literally all you do is lift and lower packages or walk packages up steep driverways. Packages can be up to 150lbs. We work atleast 8.5 hours a day but 9 or 10 or 11 is more common. Overtime pay but I think I make enough in 8 hours to live just fine. It can be a good job but you have to learn to not let the companies propaganda to go faster and work unsafely affect you. They will preach safety but at the same time they will do everything they can to push you to do more work. Your body will break down if you work the fantasy pace they want you to work. After you pass probation go safe and slow and join the union. The only reason I stay at this job is because it pays $34 an hour plus benefits and vacations. Don't let them pressure you to go fast. Good luck. PM me if you have more questions. I'm fairly certain UPS has social media accounts on this site to spread UPS propaganda (in their minds "protect the company image") [/QUOTE]
