31 years to go until "retirement" age, which is age 64. (as of now)
Who knows, maybe we will be getting younger by that tech age.

That is amazing. Do you still have the bowtie? I worked peak season in 1988, rehired in Jan 1989. I won't tell you what I was doing in 1969.

Tuesday, September 5, 2000 at 4:00 AM was day 1 on the preload. The first package I ever loaded was for A&M Industrial Supply, 1414 Campbell St., Rahway, NJ 07065. The three trucks I loaded were 803864, 109505, and 100389. Of the drivers that day, one has been retired for about 7 years, one has about 2 years to go, the other about 10.
My first day friend/t driving was Monday, September 8, 2003. The truck number was 100890, it was a 1984 GMC 5-speed with over 300,000 miles on it. The first package I ever delivered was a NDA to an accountant named Gene Holmes.
Don't ask how I remember. I have an uncanny memory for names and numbers on what I consider important dates in my life. Now if only I could remember my wedding anniversary...

July 2nd, 1981.....10:30 a.m. Wore a suit and tie to my interview(cause my momma taught me to). They didn't have what I initially wanted, so I took what they offered........best move I ever made. I have never(to this day) worked inside a hub. I have worn ties to work(UPS) twice in 31 years. My initial interview and when I rode in the safety car with all new hire pkg drivers. August in mid-afternoon in Texas in the safety car with a suit and tie on. Stupid. I did things in that safety car that I never did again delivering packages. Left right left, every 2 seconds, every 5-8.......this that....recite this backwards, verbatum......you're behind.....hurry up....faster....you're over-allowed......two clicks....sporh.........code 14........are you on the clock?............punch out......get out of the building......what happened?
Why not continue to work as directed and make more $ doing it. Ups will own our pension in a few years anyway

worked 2 weeks unloader peak 1978. Layed off,called back Jan 30 1979 as a loader. Did that for about a year then pickoff til I went into package driving in Feb 1989. Finish line almost in sight, definitely coasting downhill towards it.

Oct 1975. Christmas hire. Behind the wheel of a package car from day 1. Retired after 32 years. All in package car. Been lurking here about 6 years. Don't know why this thread made me join and send my first post. Just trying to give you folks hope out there that there is light at the end of the tunnel and it can be done.
