How long have u worked at UPS and how many years do u have left until retirement?

[Oldtimer]

Thanks for the replies. I have seen so many changes at this place in the last 45 years. I remember wool work pants to wear all year, bow ties , and leather hats. I got to meet Jim Casey and made many friends along the way. It's a different UPS now...Good luck to all of you!

I started in November 1976 as an unloader/porter. Did that for 14 months, and took advantage of a package car opening that came up. (there were only 3 part timers working in my small building) Did the package car thing for 9 years on the same route. Went into feeders in 1986. Stayed in feeders till I retired Feb 3rd, 2014. I had actually planned to stay a couple of more years, but I tore my rotator cuff in April of last year while pulling a 5th wheel. A combination of several lingering injuries (knees mostly, back and shoulder) and I just decided to hang em up. I ended up with 33 years safe driving and at age 59, I'm looking forward to doing whatever I want for a change. haha.

Congrats on your exit with a pension!

I too was a May I'm outta here employee!

I took it a step farther tho, I went out 05-05-05 sometimes I cant remember what happened on Cinco De Mayo.

Altho for some reason I know that is the last day I ever held a job!

Started preload in '87 at 18, full time driver in '90. Retired at 49, June 1, 2018. Was walking around the house just yesterday saying to myself, "Life is good." Doesn't get much better than that!

Must be from the Western..retiring at age 49 is a pipe dream for most of us...

 

[Karma...]

are there any locals that include medical either zero cost or a reasonable cost once you retire ?
