[QUOTE="anonymous6, post: 504391"] I agree with you about this being the best trucking job there is. I feel sorry for a lot of you people that have never worked anywhere else except UPS. I worked almost 30 jobs and 12 different trucking jobs before working here and there is no comparison. sure , i don't like the bs from management sometimes but I'd rather put up with it than working 20 hrs a day like I used to or be fired. fixing my company truck or be let go, working with broken fingers or toes like I have or be told to hit the road, doing a lot of work unpaid or see you later driver. working sick. a 60 hr week was a vacation. i put in a lot of 100 hr weeks for $400-500 back in the early 80's and i was lucky to get it. On my last job before UPS I was making $9 and hr driving a logging truck, No sick days, no vacations, no paid holidays. if you called in sick, you lost your truck. Even today, most non union drivers don't get half of what we get. No benefits for most of them too. most of my working life has been for non union companies and you guys think you have to put up with a bunch of crap, why don't you speak to non union drivers for a change? Most of you guys just don't know how good you have it. complain, complain, complain. after 15 years here the poor attitude becomes contagious. I try to stay away from the mopes at work. My wife laughs at me when I complain. She says "I remember when you........" If you don't like your job, then quit and try the real world. ( and I can move up ) get a reality check. Anyways, that's my rant. I love the feeder work for the most part. if only i could just come to work and do the job without any interference, it would be almost perfect, ha ha. I'll get some negatives about this but it's the truth. [/QUOTE]
