[QUOTE="antimatter, post: 176359, member: 118"] As a delivery driver in Irvine for 15 years in an industrial area, I wasn't burdened with 180 stops a day, like some of my co-workers who delivered residential areas. It is hard work, but the pay is good and if you like to deal with people, it's a great job. With the re-loop that took place a few years ago, the "incentive" money (bonus) pretty much vanished so you would be working "scratch". It IS a physical job and you will feel it. I've been at UPS for a while (in my 31st year) and took care of myself and didn't sustain any serious injuries. I still hike and river raft but do feel the cumulative effects of the line of work I chose... but I enjoyed it. There are a number of new faces in Irvine Center now (I drive feeder -big rigs- out of the same facility) and it looks like you could hire on as a preloader (part-time... we go through a lot of them) and then move up in a year or two. The facility seems to always be training new drivers... (many are called, few are chosen). As earlier stated, the job isn't for everyone. A. [/QUOTE]
