Breaking senior drivers

[quad decade guy]

Brilliant idea.
Some don't have that luxury. Took me 25 in pkg before I was able to make it into feeder. 22.3's? Ha! minimum 30 years.

Ok. Took me 25 also......

Every 22.3 since they were implemented in my old building all went to high senior full timers and still does.

Every hub is different.

The OP never mentioned feeders. I wonder why. Or anything else.

They have never given consideration for age or physical condition. I'm sure you know that.

15 pkg was enough for me.

i'm guessing after 15 he decided to plan his exit. after another 10 years digging that hole with a spoon, he finally escaped.

Maybe. That's not what it sounded like. I bid every feeder bid since the day I gained seniority.

The few 22.3 jobs that we have was all taken up by low seniority part timers

FT has first pick on any FT jobs.

Worked for me. You have to use the grievance procedure to use it.

why don't you just hang it up then? where is this finish line you speak of if not at 30 frickin years?

This is the truth. If you can't find a way to retire after 30 years at such a relatively high-paying job, then you definitely have issues with spending more money than you make. Or you have too many child support payments to make. That's not subjective. That's a fact. And this applies more or less even if those were part-time years because that $8.50 an hour was worth a lot more back when the starting wage rate for part-timers was frozen there.

It took me 25 years to get a feeder slot.

15 pkg driving was enough for me. I went to feeders.

Nobody bid on them.

I am a delivery driver with nearly 30 years of service and wonder everyday how I am going to make it to the finish line. I worked with guys that stole time from this company for years and it was wrong. Todays technology eliminates that and that’s a good thing. However, when I learned my route years ago I averaged around 115 stops a day. I did the job and got off the clock. Now it’s more like 145 a day. These 30, 40, even 50 more stops a day are brutal on someone that has nearly 30 years of service and wear and tear on their body. I am at the point where I regret staying here and would not recommend this job to anyone. I could have been a lot healthier and happier making less money somewhere else.

Quad, is that you???

Moved 3 22.4s point fours up to RPCD A couple weeks ago, two of them went out and bought new vehicles with 8 or $900 payments lol. One was a Raptor the other one was A jeep gladiator

People live beyond their means. Then they wonder why they lose it all when something happens. All that money is wasted from the depreciation let alone if it gets repossessed. If they can't pay cash for it. How do they expect to pay more than cash with all the interest?

save your money young'ns. save aggressively, max your 401k, max a Roth IRA, start maxing it now not later. save and invest in indexfunds in a taxable account.

This^^^^^
Great advice right here. Listen up all you young bucks and old turtles.

Well then, don't sit in a rocking chair. I got so much to do there are days I don't know which way
to turn first. Sometimes I can't believe I used to work 10 hour days. When did I find time to do that.
Don't let the job become your life. I'll never understand these guys in the 60's and 70's still working.

Know a guy I drove with. He was older than me. Put in 42 years all in package. Stayed until he was 69.
Every time I see him he says staying that long was the biggest mistake he ever made.
