[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 447328, member: 13254"] Steve, please don't take this as criticism, cuz it ain't. I was 38 when I started driving, at 43 I felt fine, at 49 I felt fine except for that damaged sciatic nerve that kept me home for 5 1/2 months (caused by the wonderful seats in P5s and the quality roads I had to drive), at 56 I felt fine except for the sciatica and the rotator cuff that had to be repaired because my cat like reflexes stopped a falling box from a shelf. Today at 58 I fell fine except for the sciatica, the tight shoulder that never healed fully, the carpal tunnel in my left wrist, the back aches and sore muscles, and the hearing loss due to almost 20 years driving very loud trucks, and the lack of rest from working 10-11 hours a day doing very physical work. The point I am making is that working at UPS can wear you out to the point there is no return to full "feeling fine" status. The older you get the longer it take to recover from everything. They say , "you are as young as you feel", I reckon I'm closing in on 85 real fast. Sorry for the rant like post, (I wasn't really ranting) and for the hi-jack. [/QUOTE]
