[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 858837, member: 13254"] It would depend on your end game plan. If you are just looking for a good paying job to do for a few years, goferit. If you are looking for a career that you can retire from,fergetaboutit. You are at the age that many (not all) drivers start feeling the daily pain of the wear and tear the job puts on the body and it just continues to exacerbate. True enough some people can do the job for 30 years without major problems, but they are in the minority. Don't know what kind of work you are used to doing for 12 hours a day but at UPS you are expected to go full tilt for 12 hours. I started at 35 and made to 58 before injuring my back to the point I can't do the job and the worker comp docs say there is nothing to do to fix it. I can't walk 50 yards without my right leg going numb and loosing the strength to stand up. I realize this doesn't happen to everyone but it is always a possibility. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
