Lmao. Get lost
First, who is viewing the driver as a career accomplishment? My management team certainly doesn't view us as prestigious. For pt'mers it may or may not be their wish to become drivers. As far as pay goes versus college graduates there is a lot of drivers here that have a degree that chose driving. Believe it or not this company was much better to work for twenty years ago.I understand one has to work himself up from the bottom (pt handler) to the top (driver) but why is the driver viewed as a career accomplishment and something of some prestige. There is nothing prestigious about a UPS driver. I do not go out of my way to bow to them. I do not acknowledge them. They are neither bad or good to me, they are just there. It is also a grueling job with long hours where you can be lifting heavy packages throughout the day
I never understood why the driver is THAT position to aspire to, yet I bet if you take a straw poll of 100 pt package handlers, 90 + will say the goal is to be sitting in that truck one day.
Nothing special or grandiose about it imo.

Again, do not respond if you are not capable enough to stay on topic.
One can be an accountant and not ruin his body and make more money than a driver, so I'm not buying that.
I want to know why becoming a driver is viewed as something that is some sort of reward for all the work you put in for years, building yourself up.
Congrats for busting your ass all these years, you get a driving job where you work 50 + hrs a week tearing your body apart.
I never understood the reward angle they push and see it as propaganda more or less. Why not aspire to get one of those office jobs at UPS instead?
Lol go away
This same guy was asking about being a Ground slave yesterday over on our side. Beware the troll underneath the bridge.

I don't have a problem with UPS. Just seems like they promote the driver as being some god like position when it really isn't.
But as I understand with the union bidding system, you are just bidding to be another part in a cog somewhere with production in a spider web until eventually a driver retires and you have tenure.
One does not work as a pt package handler for 10 years and wait it out, correct?
whose they? I didn't see it on any national ad campaign. I didn't get it at today's PCM. What makes you think drivers are being shone some kind of special light? Now, if you are comparing the drivers to oc sups then it may be because the sups now days don't actually manage. They are told what to do when to do it. It actually is sad because some of them could really make a difference by using common sense which seems that they are not allowed to do. But that is another story.I don't have a problem with UPS.
