[QUOTE="code5, post: 926954, member: 11550"] I too am 5'2 I'm also a male so I get all the short jokes and such which is all good, I can dish it out too! When I first started at UPS 18 years ago driving old P500's it did take me a while to adjust but it didn't take me long to feel comfortable driving them. I've always used my size to my strenths cause I'm very agile and I too do a bunch of climbing in the back of the car! I also have very little body fat but am in good shape with my job. My core strength is amazing but lately I'm wondering if my body structure is creeping up on me. I've always had a bulk run and pushed my body very hard over the years. I could go hard and be OK but lately it takes me a couple days to recover if I push myself too hard. Next year I turn 40. I suppose my problems are similar to anyone with different body structures doing this to myself for 18 years, but I do wonder if my body isn't as durable given my size and the physical nature of our job. I suppose I'll probably eventually have to switch to a higher residential route with smaller packages. Driving the package car however, has never been a problem. [/QUOTE]
