[QUOTE="slantnosechevy, post: 523198, member: 21514"] That's a tough question to answer. I worked construction 15 years and been behind the wheel of a PC 23 years. I've watched a lot of people from the mills, ex cops, firemen, construction walk in our door and complain about how hard our job is. It takes a while to get in UPS shape. Once the ones who make it do... the job gets easier to them physically. The mental.....takes some longer than others. All I know is Physical therapists and sports doctors I deliver to tell me there isn't a job more demanding phyically and mentally than ours because it's non-stop. The daily repetative beating on joints and muscles over an 9,10, or 11 hour day is the worst thing you can do to your body. Our cardio is good but thats where it stops. I had a division mngr. tell me the divorce rate is 20% higher than the next closest occupation. Most 30 and 35 year guys have told me as they retire that there's no way they would've made it as long as they did working at the pace we've had over the last 15. [/QUOTE]
