Stretching a lot and exercising help. At 40, you might be best suited to get any FT job, then bid into 22.3. It may take many years but the FT rate will be 30/hr+ by then. Current over 27.**
The sort aisle is a lot easier on your body. Some people are a bit intimidated by all the ZIPs to learn. After a week most sorters can do it in there sleep.
A loader that is 25 is old. I see a lot of 25 year old unloaders, but no 25 year old loaders. At least not after the first week.What's really amusing to me is "40" and "old guy". I guess at UPS a loader at 40 is old. In most places it is not. How does 39 sound? Still young? 40, old? Funny.

Sorry, I meant hub loaders. Loading trailers. Our preload have a lot of older pre loaders. Many in their 40's and 50's. Don't see that in the hubs.We have quite a few loaders in their 20's who do a good job using PAL labels but would be lost if they had to go "old school".
40 the new 30.
Sounds like a plan. The only thing that keeps a lot of drivers coming back everyday is the money. Not worth it to be miserable.I'm in it so save some vacation money and get my ass back into the workforce. I figured if I can endure UPS for a few months an accounting job Would be a walk in the park. Any job for that matter would be cake after this. 14 days left until I turn in my brown for some peace and relaxation.

I've seen guys in their sixties that could run the kids into the ground. depends on your outlook and conditioning.Hey guys,
I'm in need of a second career at age 40 and I've been a Loader for two months. No problem. I'm wondering if old guys like me can do this for 4 or 5 years and then become a driver. Any thoughts or concerns I should have about this?
Thanks.

A pregnant wife and a big house payment will do that.UPS does not like their drivers to not feel trapped.
It helps with compliance.
