[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1452317, member: 12508"] Yep. Repetitive stress injuries are an integral part of the job. That's why you don't see a lot of older UPS drivers or career FedEx drivers. We hire lots of older couriers now, but they are new to the business. Knees, backs, shoudlers and other body parts aren't designed for constant pounding. Oh, and when you finally require corrective action, FedEx will gladly show you the door if they can. Let's say you need a rotator cuff operation, which has a long recovery period. Chances are good that you can't rehab in 90 days, so you end up getting displaced unless you can use your vacation days to add to your recovery time. They'd prefer to just get rid of you. [/QUOTE]
