[QUOTE="Sissy Brown Short Shorts, post: 5644627, member: 67435"] Drivers work twice as many hours. Outside. Rain or shine, hot or cold. I walk 12 miles a day, 30-40 flights of stairs and lift more than 1,000lbs of packages a day. I know it’s unskilled. However it’s more skilled than standing in a trailer tossing boxes onto a conveyer. This job has been so dumbed down we could easily be replaced by off the street workers with a few weeks of headaches and minimum training. That’s why I’m not pushing the issue. I’m also aware we’re paid twice as much as everyone else in the industry doing the same job. I started inside making something like 8.50$ an hour. I worked two jobs at the time. I wanted more money so I learned the sort and got a dollar raise for it. I wanted more money so I signed the driver list and went to school. I grinded being a cover driver and climbed the seniority and pay scale ladder to top rate. I put the work in to move up. If you want to make a career at the entry level position at UPS and never climb then don’t complain about the pay and your living conditions. The options are there for you to make as much money as you want. [/QUOTE]
