[QUOTE="sendagain, post: 165304, member: 1695"] Nobody says you need to injure yourself, but there is a lot more riding on your job than just you getting a paycheck. We all were hired to do a job and most guys I know were happy to get hired by UPS. Enough guys don't show up and the guy next to you takes a split off your truck. If more people don't show and customers don't get there merchandise; people get pissed and switch carriers, making the hiring on of more drivers a passing thought. Promotions to driver from part time took less than a year back in the seventies. Now, they take five or six years; mostly because our competitors are taking our volume. We used to be able to count on the guys around us in the early days but now everyone wants a retirement route on his first assignment. We used to watch four or five trucks show up to handle a heavy pickup that was blown out. Now, you hope they can find one guy to lend a hand. [/QUOTE]
