[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 284939, member: 5938"] jess, I've heard that RA can cause a lot of pain. You've got courage and strength to pursue driving! Two things come to mind that could put a krink in your driving. One is medication, do you take anything that would hamper your ability to drive? DOT can be very strict about that. My husband was taking Elavil at night for pain and DOT said he couldn't drive on that dosage so he had to cut back on how much he takes. Also, being a temp, are you in the union yet? If not, I fear the contract won't cover you as far as age and physical condition. Not sure about the disability act but I'm rooting for you! Have never seen anyone with obvious disability at my center but do know that older folks and those who just don't perform well are not pushed as much as others. UPS is high profile and it's in their interest to accomodate people, at least I feel that way. Sadly, they are a "numbers" company and greed often gets in the way of common decency. No matter what, keep your cool and stay safe. Don't ever put your health or physical well being at risk for any company! And keep in mind that you're a worthwhile human being no matter what your physical condition. If UPS doesn't work out it just means there is something better out there for you. Keep in touch, stick around here and let us know how you're doing! [/QUOTE]
