[QUOTE="upsman2940, post: 939561, member: 39261"] I honestly can't say we are over compensated. I been driving 10+ years . Worked on the preload for nearly 5 years. I was thrilled to get on with ups back in the late 90s, right after the strike. I was newly married with the mind set of taking the necessary steps to provide for my family to be. I agree working 2 jobs for the first 5 years was a drag. Most of my pt checks were spent on Friday night. Had this grand idea that getting that ft position would fix all. Somethings has been good and some has been bad. There is no compensation great enough to equal what we lose as a husband father, friend. Most of these pt workers don't realize the sacrifices that have to be made when accepting a ft time spot. Long long hours. No family life. My wife often says that she is a single mother Monday thru Friday. I leave the house at 745 am and return most nights at 745. I will never be convinced that I make enough money when ups sees me more than my family does. So go ahead part-timers keep telling yourselves that you deserve so much more cause the drivers are overpaid. [/QUOTE]
