[QUOTE="code5, post: 775342, member: 11550"] Dude, I wish you could see me. I think that is total bull (no offence). I'm just that, 5' 100 lb. Been a driver for 16 years. For the most part size has nothing to do with being a UPS driver, but work ethic does. I am strong as a bull, physically fit and work hard every day. I have seen TONS on employees that are physical specimins that are lazy as sin. Having said that, I'm my own worse enemy at times. I'm pretty much a model employee it pains me to say. I work hard every day, follow all methods, provide great customer service and make sure I never go out light. Problem is I often get taken advantage of and I know it. I never skip my break, but I'm not an overtime freak either and that is the problem. UPS can base you day more on quantity than quality. The doggers look better because they are willing to stay out as long as mgmt wants them too even when they don't accomplish what I do. My biggest downfall is that I want to go home. Me thinks I'm going to get screwed on my time study (happening next week). I have a bulk run with lots of industrial. As I sweat it out all day trying to find my packages in my mangled mess of a load, ill lose time while a resi run with an employee that can smell the roses either doing long walks or pleasant 10 min. drive between stops will be better off. Should a high physical aspect count for anything? [/QUOTE]
