[QUOTE="Sparkey86, post: 1518863, member: 55432"] Sir, with all due respect, I'm 47. Currently home now on back injury. Years of punishment on my body. Yes I have worked as safely as possible for 29 years at this job but with that said I'm human and as far as I can you are as well. UPS jobs were designed for young men/women and they want thorough breads until it's time for greener pastures ie feeders. I don't want to discourage in anyway but your body at 46 is not designed for the constant strain that will be imposed. HOWEVER I must say we do have older personnel in part time ranks at my center and they do a fine job. My loader is 50 and he is the best. Neat loads and 0 misloads. But he does that for 4 hours in the morning. A package driver endures all the elements plus the lifting and driving for 10 to 12 hours a day. Don't count your chickens etc. I admire a man/ woman that has a plan and goal but there is reality. I wish you the best of luck take it 1 day at a time or at my age, 1 stop at a time. Be safe [/QUOTE]
