With respect, you don't know what you're talking about. While in my LATE 20s, I worked 2 jobs while going to school...and I'm a slacker. It's not that difficult. If you need money, borrow it. You could get a 1000 student loan, pay <$50 in fees/interest, then flip the reimbursement checks from then on out.going to school is not an option. the term is REimbursement which means I have to pay it first. If I could do that, I wouldn't need another job. BTW I am in my 40's...I have bills...don't live home with mom and dad like a lot of our pt people.
The easiest way to find out if you will pass a DOT physical is to print out the forms at upsers.com, schedule a physical and take the forms. Have your regular Dr do it and see if you will pass.
Can you print the forms without scheduling the actual DOT physical?
With all due respect, being a driver for UPS is a very physically demanding and mentally stressful job.I have had 2 heart attacks. Both while employed by UPS. The medicine that I take causes insomnia. Sometimes I don't sleep more than a couple hours in days. But no, no doctor has told me I couldn't, just assumed that my issue would be a problem.
I will never be able to pass the DOT physical due to a heart condition, am I forever stuck in PT? or will they be obliged to create a 22.3 job for me when the time comes? I'm sure I can do car wash, but to get in, you have to be a fill in until there is an opening. I don't want to commit to a fill in position because I need to find full time employment. Be it 2 part times, or full time at UPS. Yes, I am there for the bennies. So leaving isn't an option. My health care is too expensive without them.
Here is an option, we have a preloader considered 22.3 job. he starts before preload, scans send agains, then does preload, then does haz-mat. It's an 8 hour shift. no driving involved, no dot physical. I don't know if you guys have that out by you. Or where you are on the seniority list. good luck
He can bid a 22.3 job that doesn't include driving if there is one in his building. But UPS doesn't have to create one for him for him to move up from the PT ranks. If he was already a driver and he suddenly got a heart condition that DQ'd him from driving things would be different.

But this whole "in my 40s" thing is an excuse, not a reason. If you suck at school and learning, then just say you suck at school and learning. But don't be pissed 5-10 years from now if you get laid off, or just decide to quit UPS, and have no discernible job skills.
A 44 yr old woman with two heart attacks???? Wow. Sorry to hear that.I actually have skills. I also have a lot wrong physically that I cannot use the skills. I was a mechanic. I worked in a deli..then cut my thumb at the knuckle severing the tendon and most of the bone. I cannot use tools comfortably. I am also at this time paying child support. 60% is coming out of my checks each week. Yes, I am a female paying child support. I am a 44 year old who has had 2 heart attacks. working 2 jobs and going to school is not an option as lack of sleep triggers my condition.
