Breaking senior drivers

[PT 4 Life]

We still have two at our building

Same here.

 

[PT Car Washer]

They were inside full time combo jobs that paid about the same as driving. The first combo jobs created and they didn't make any more.

Not combo jobs. FT inside. Car wash, Feeder wash, Porters and some FT Union clerk jobs.

They are the original full-time inside jobs. In my Local, they are mainly 8-hrs of the same job content.

The jobs pay $1.69 per hr less than full pkg rate or feeders pulling singles.

The best inside jobs

They weren't really combo jobs but the ones I saw had people doing almost anything to get their hours.

You know now that you put it that way there was two or three morning people who had been there since the beginning of time that did clerk work and they worked full time hours but I don’t think we’re 22.3. Maybe 22.2?

You made a declarative statement. Prove it.

There is a difference in can't and NOT WANTING TO....

Your OPINION may vary from mine.

I know people that work until they drop. For wildly different reasons. Every bit millionaires.....

That's what I'm telling you.

Say, define "high-paying job".

The OP is saying he's not sure he'll "make it to the finish line". Sounds like he's not planning on working until he drops. And I think it's fair to say it's a high-paying job if the complete benefits package is more than 3x the median wage rate in the US. So yes, you have a problem if you CAN'T retire in 30 years. And again, OP isn't "not wanting to" retire. That's clear from his post at the start.

The game is more mental than physical. You have no choice but to play or get ate alive.

So no, maybe not.

It didn’t stick he came back. The panel was less than clear what they wanted, reading comprehension is very important. It’s clear with your attitude you need lots of lecturing . It’s not a shock why no one helped you when you were a package car driver I wouldn’t of helped you either.

Have we met? Somehow you think you know me. You don't. That is clear.

And you are not lecturing....you are bullying. That is clear also. Very.

Stick it out you big p$#%y. Do everything by the book including driving and handling the pkg`s and then they will have to send you help or lighten your dispatch. Every route is over dispatched. Call in your air to be picked up.

 

[Over70irregs]

Do what you can. Take care of your body.

 

[quad decade guy]

What's not true, the part where somebody telling a 30 year driver they should work out or the part where your body is not in good shape after 30 years

The job doesn't "kill you". 99.9% of the people that work at UPS survive and generally, live a full life. This isn't a West Virginia coal mine in the 30's. Now, bad eating habits and smoking and lot's of other factors are in play.....

So many pass up mgt. as an option. Feeders too. It doesn't take a genius to figure out a "career" of 30 years doing pkg is very likely.....after about a week....

Ask @IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U or any 35 year driver about his knees

Interesting.

To be fair....I know lot's of folks who have bad knees and backs in their 20's!

Never lifting more than a beer.

It all depends. Your knees are high wear items. Shrug.

We still have two at our building

We have 17 22.2 spots here. Same pay as driving and you work Twi and Night shifts. Spots are almost always held by top seniority drivers just trying to make it to 30 years. I won a bid for a short time when someone retired but was bumped out on the next bid. Not a bad gig at all, hours are the worst thing about it.

Wow your building is like the white unicorn! That’s where all the 22.2 jobs went to die.

I know our local has fought hard to keep them around and not have them reduced. Always assumed they were in every building, didn’t think it was as rare as it is.

Hours: (Pkg-8;00-20:00) (Feeders-14:00-2:00)( 22.2's- 22:00-10:00)

Who has "good" hours? Feeders: easy job(relatively) hours suck....even for high senior guys. 22's...you work 2nd/3rd shift.
