[QUOTE="takesteady, post: 4855320, member: 68930"] How is your back and your knees? If you're in decent shape, show up on time, and have a good attitude, I don't see why you cant succeed. I won't lie and say it's going to be easy for you, and you will definitely face challenges your younger male counterparts won't, but the bar isn't very high. I suggest you try to go to small sort ASAP which hopefully your supervisors would have the common sense and decency to put you there anyway, but I wouldn't count on it. What are your goals at UPS? Do you want to be a driver? Supervisor? Working as a package handler as a second job will drain you physically for any other job you may have, so be aware of that. There's a 70 something year old morbidly obese woman at my hub who walks around with a cane, so if she can do it, I'm sure you can too. [/QUOTE]
