[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5203524, member: 59074"] I came to the realization a few years ago that even if you work always by the methods, take your full lunch, file 9.5, work at a pace you can maintain for 30 years. Even if you do all that, you will still be in pain when you get home. Your stop counts will lower a bit, and management will eventually leave you alone and send you the help you need. But your body will still be in pain. For me, the answer was to become a feeder driver. The only real physical aspect to feeders is your left leg will be a little sore from shifting a manual tractor, a little arm workout from raising the landing gear, and lifting a dolly which is like doing squats. But those feel like little exercises because it is short and quick, not like the knee and back pain and body stiffness you get from package. So I would look into feeders if I were you. Read the Feeder Driver FAQ on Browncafe. Ask drivers at your building about the job, find out what the wait time is for the bid list and hang in there because it can be better for you at UPS.
