[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 2267411, member: 42268"] I'm going to disagree with most of the others here. Starting young at UPS is the key. Yes the job is physical and injury is possible but if your smart and careful you may never get hurt. I spent 32 years in a package car and was never on workmans comp. I think the tougher part is mental. Are you mentally tough? Showing up every day and working 10 hour days to me was the true grind of the job. Not physically, mentally. Some people see it as, well you ONLY get weekends and vacation. I saw it as, well I get my weekends and vacation. You'll know exactly what is expected of you. How you handle those expectations is the key. That will come with experience. You'll find out what things are important on the job. But you must be the kind of person who can let things roll off your back. [/QUOTE]
