[QUOTE="ups1990, post: 1631697, member: 20195"] Sigh..... All of the various feelings your experiencing, I can honestly tell you we've all had them and they continue to pop up from time to time, even from very seasoned drivers. Will the work get easier? Probably not, but the mental part of this job is the number one obstacle to overcome and master. You'll get better at controlling your emotions with time. It took me 2-3 years to feel comfortable with this job and not lose sleep. I didn't eat much early on and didn't sleep well at night. The workday morning came along win butterflies and stress due to not knowing what the day had in store for me. You have the greatest resources in the world at your disposal, your fellow drivers! Ask the other utility and cover drivers about your particular route and area. They know where to park, who signs ....... The center manager knows he can't move you around during your probation period. There's no doubt in my mind that UPS wants a younger workforce that is accustomed to delivering to different areas on a daily basis and they'll be happy when this last huge wave of drivers that were accustomed to routes that remained the same for years to retire or quit.
