[QUOTE="Griff, post: 226152, member: 7111"] This board has a pretty wide variety of UPS employees, drivers are just the most outspoken group here. The "point" of this thread/poll it's to dispel myths perpetuated by people like you, blue efficacy. Some of the things you posted are exactly why people consider us overpaid and they are [I]lies[/I]. Any driver approaching or breaking the 70k marker is putting in a lot of overtime, we aren't salaried employees. The "anyone can do this job" myth continues to be dispelled in buildings all across the country on a daily basis. While the education requirements are low; willpower, stamina, common sense, pain endurance and strength requirements are high. Sorry to break it to you, but not everyone has those things and believe me you need all of them everyday. Comparing your time as a helper is highly ignorant. As a general rule, helpers are seasonal and do not work full-time hours. Add to this the fact you're doing housestops, which are the easiest part of a drivers job. Do the job 10+ hours a day for years on end, then come back and tell me how you and the chimp are feeling. Anybody can do this job for a day, it takes a certain breed to do this as a career. P.S. -- There is a 2.5 year wage progression for drivers. Anyone breaking 50-55k a year as a UPS driver is experienced and/or a veteran. [/QUOTE]
