My Hat Goes Off To All The Veteran Drivers.

[728ups]

I went Ft in 88 and it was easier in some ways: not so many stops,same route area every day, everything loaded in the same place every day but it was also harder in some ways: no power steering,High step 1000's,no shorts in the summer heat no google maps

My mentor gets 9 weeks vacation a year

What region?

 

[By The Book]

Yea you know what I meant. ..I had career jobs as well. It still didn't last lol

I decided around your age to settle down and stay with one good company, instead of jumping ship all the time. If you want 8 weeks vacation and all the benefits and pension you need to stay. Starting over all the time will get you nowhere.

What region?

Northern California

it ain't dedication honey. it's over a 100k a year in wages and another 30k in bennies.

that would make a complete maroon dedicated.

I can say most of you guys paved the way for us new drivers. I spoke to many veteran drivers and the way they put it, it seems like the new drivers are born with a silver spoon. Although the work seems a bit tough to me in the beginning, I can't imagine how tough it was years ago with an older diad/No diad and less equipment. You did the dirty work... So my hat goes off to you. Much respect.

Remember to fill out that substitute COD tag.

Just found it funny that you would imply that someone was stupid while at the same time not being able to spell.

Go play with your thesaurus Nerd

So it's dedication.

A month???? We get six weeks, seven Option Days, and one Personal Day. I'm going to Destin, Florida the week before Thanksgiving to let my body heal up for the rest of Peak Season.

I meant a month straight, on top of all the other days.

I'm shocked that you can spell "thesaurus."

I'm shocked that you can spell "thesaurus."

he probably thinks it's some kind of dinosaurus.

May seem that way, but I have to be honest I worked maybe about 10 jobs in my lifetime (I'm 24 yrs old) and I think the longest I've stayed at job was 2 years. You have guys here (including you maybe)

You're older than him @UPyourS
