[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 436072, member: 13254"] For what it's worth, here is my take. I gather you are fairly young, mid to late twenties? if so, At this time of your life you are young, strong and full of energy. By the time you have made a career of driving (if that's the direction you choose) your body will be worn out, if your knees are not shot, your ankles or hips will be. The wear and tear on one's body is bad enough today, yet it keeps getting tougher each year. Now, if your direction is toward management, all I can tell you is what I have seen in my area of UPS, granted it may not hold true to all aspects of UPS management. It seems that one of the first things they look for in supervisor prospects is some one that wants to make a difference and believes they can. People that are willing to go that extra mile for the team, to dedicate themselves to UPS and put the company above personal, family and friends. Someone willing to relocate to anywhere the company wants them to be. The company higher ups require integrity from all employees below them, yet they fail to demonstrate the same day after day. Don't get me wrong, if UPS is a good fit for someone, they should by all means go for it, just don't jump in with your eyes glossed over by promises that are kept at the same rate as politicians. I can tell ya one thing for sure, with nearly 20 years of driving at UPS, I would jump at the chance to work in a clean atmosphere where you don't have to walk in snow all day or drive a non-air conditioned truck that creates as much heat as the sun for 10 hours a day.
