[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4560723, member: 52145"] before working for UPS for 23 years I worked for non union trucking companies for almost 14. hauling and unloading mt 55 gallon barrels in 45 ft trailers in 100 degree heat in Merced , CA. before the tomato season started. hauling doubles to Phoenix with insulation and unloading by hand insulation from 3M when it was over 120 degrees in trailers and a lot more than that. back in the 80's you unloaded your own trailers after driving all night to get to a consignee. then spent the rest of day getting a backhaul so you could drive all night again with an hour sleep here and there. but none of you ladies ever did that to earn your chops. when i first started working at UPS I used to laugh at the drivers who complained about EVERYTHING. the only ones who would understand would be the ones who have been there. so don't tell me you package drivers have it hard. the trick is to stay hydrated work the methods and take your scheduled breaks and meals and you will survive like tens of thousands before you.
