[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 114304, member: 1944"] forgot to metionTired of it all, we never downgrade anothers job. Any one who works hard deserves to be well paid. We have our uniforms paid for because ups wants us to all be uniform. Our trucks are loaded for us because with a DOT there are only so many hours we can work. Our routes are set up because it the most economical way someone set them up to be run. Most of us, who complain about things complain to others who do the same job, because with the nature of our jobs we always work alone, and dont have much time to socialize with others. Mostly this site is UPSers, although all are welcome. Do we work hard, yes we do. Are we stupid truck drivers, absolutely not. And not everyone can do it. Could I roof, lay brick, or pick up garbage, no, possibly, and absolutely not. But this isnt a site for them to complain. Are most of us uneducated idiots, No not since the big hiring frenzy of the 70s, when most of us were hired we had to be in college to get an interview. So why ever you are mad, thats too bad. No one here has ever downgraded another position, although braveheart pretty much covered anything that you said. We get paid well to do a job that is important and we are in the public eye each and every minute we are on the road. From our trucks that are not clean like they used to be, to being polite and going the extra mile for the customer, and then running the next few stops to make up for having to wait for an invalid to answer a door, to trying to deliver to a door that needs a sig with a pit bull guarding it, to using our own personal cell phone to try to contact the person so we can get it delivered. Driving in weather that puts our safe driving at risk, as well as our lives, to working in heat that would kill some people, to climbing in trucks built for Wilt Chamberlain 100+ times a day. WE get paid well, I never heard anyone say we didnt. Are there things that could be better, of course. Are there things that could be worse, definetely. But we have the right to voice our complaints and concerns, and you have the right to be jealous. And you have the right not to come here if it makes you mad. Since you have told us off, I expect we wont hear from you again, but if you are true UPS you will stay around, and converse. [/QUOTE]
