[QUOTE="Signature Only, post: 3554380, member: 21043"] [FONT=Verdana]I think the big reason I've lasted is my childhood. My father was a contractor and started us working at least 4 hours a day when we were 6 years old. I can remember reaching up to push the lawnmower. By the 6th grade it was at least 8. If we weren't in school we were working. After we grew up he apologized for being so hard on us. He just wanted to be sure that we could take care of ourselves and earn a living no matter what. And he did us the greatest service, although we didn't think so at the time. But it has certainly paid off. UPS isn't that bad for me physically because I was already used to long hours and hard work. But it took 10 years or so to get conditioned to the mental stress dished out by management. It's the mental punishment, directed at drivers without cause or reason that wears you down. You'll have to learn the contract, don't believe management promises and file when they step over the line[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
