As a UPS delivery driver for many years, I've experienced everything from the good and the bad to the downright ugly.

The delivery job itself is an ideal fit for me because I tend to be a loner

With the exception of the 20 minutes in the morning when I'm inside the building to pick up my truck filled to the brim with packages, I'm on my own all day without any supervisors or co-workers, and that's how I prefer it.

Seniority, which is solely based on your start date, is literally everything to drivers. As a member of the Teamster's union and a full-time driver averaging a 50-hour workweek, I gained enough seniority last year to bid on and win a dedicated route, which is a pretty big deal.
