[QUOTE="Zowert, post: 5387268, member: 71957"] I’m not saying it takes a ton of skill to be a 22.4 or RPCD, sure almost anyone can do it if they’re trained properly. It’s just not a job for everyone, simply getting in and out of package car 200 times a day is too much for most people. Add irregulars up to 150lbs, excessive heat/cold, rain/snow, stairs, hills and traffic… That keeps the majority of able bodied people from doing this job. If there is one skill a good UPS driver has its time management, especially on commercial routes with heavy pick ups. In order to protect the integrity of our air service we have to get NDA delivered on time, every time. A good driver can not only get their air off before its commit time, they can get their ground, 2DA, etc. delivered with the air at each stop. The rest of the volume needs to be off that truck before pick ups begin, you have 26 of them. They all need to be serviced within a relative short time frame, any air picked up needs to be dropped at a specific time or shuttled back to center yourself before the air dock closes. People pay a lot of money to have their items shipped via Next Day Air. You can’t undervalue the importance of this service, a lot of stuff shipped NDA is extremely important or time sensitive like medication, specimen samples and legal documents. This stuff CAN NOT be late and a solid UPS driver will never let it happen. This is why we are paid more than anyone else. Sure we are union but UPS wouldn’t be paying us up to six figures a year if it wasn’t in their best interest. As corny as this may sound a good, consistent and hard working UPS driver is worth his/her weight in gold to the company. The fact that it is technically an unskilled job is irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
