[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 3260030, member: 49302"] You'd have to start inside like everyone else... and that will probably be a physical and mental adjustment (depending on the shift you work and what your job is now). You'll work in the middle of the night (unless you work twilight)... and pretty much be a box moving machine for at least a year for very few hours, very little money, and no holidays, vacation, or insurance for that year. Depending on where you work, you'll wait anywhere from a year to 8 - 10 years (in smaller buildings) to get the chance to try and become a driver. You have to go to training, and then go through your trial period. Lots of people don't make it. That said, you can definitely do it at 36... it's entirely dependent on your ability to survive on next to nothing (or work 2 jobs) until a spot opens up, your ability to put up with UPS's nonsense, and what the people in your life are willing to sacrifice in order for you to get where you want (and even more so once you get there).
