[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 323724, member: 5831"] I just tell them if you do not mind working in a warehouse with no A/C for 5-8 years part time for a starting pay of $8 an hour at 17-20 hours a week like we all did then maybe you can too. I tell them how most of all started doing manual labor for all those years working nights AFTER my day job I finally got on for like $13-14 an hour. Then I tell them that was like 10 years ago, so after 15-20 years of hard work, manual labor I think I have earned it!!! I also point out that the UNION got us the good pay too. I also point out that Fed Ex, USPS, and Freight all make between $15 to $28 an hour as well. Then I mention that should only the smart college people make a good living? What about us, the truckers, roofers, plumbers, masons, carpenters, etc etc. We all have skills too. So we do not build anything, we deliver what everybody needs. We are professional drivers with people skills too. Well most of us. Remind them how they work in the A/C and we do not as the trucks DO NOT HAVE A/C!!!!!!! Remind them what it is like to lift hundreds of boxes per day climbing in and out of the truck all day and that we do deliveries and pick ups, collect c.o.d.'s, handle hazordous packages, hi-values, narcotics all while working in the rain, snow, sleet, 95 degree heat, humidity, tropical storms and even on days when a hurricane was hitting because UPS was more important than us boarding up our homes. Sure they let us go just in time to get home but no time for preperation. Remind them driving in traffic sucks and we do it all day long!! Ask them if they like getting chased and bitten by pit bulls then UPS is their kind of job. Also remind them of the dozens of injuries you have had, pinched nerves, pulled muscles, torn muscles, sprained ankles and knees, cuts, lumps, bumps, bruises, dog bites, illnesses from customers, etc etc Then I remind them about all my buddies knee, ankle, wrist, back, neck, elbow, shoulder, hernia, and hip surgeries too!!!!! I tell them about how many have had to quit playing softball and some even golf. I also tell them about all the drivers who are now permanently disabled due to this great job. Then I tell them we are always looking for part timers for $8.50 an hour go to UPS.com. [/QUOTE]
