[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 52504"] Opie, the first thing you do is only work and only do what you have to do outside of work, put the rest that can be on hold. Be ready to be beat til death til you get in shape. Look at it as a paid work out, you will never need to pay a gym. And if you cant lift 70 pds no matter how skinny you are, it is a blessing that you got this job. I work with skinny guys who can and do lift 150, but not over your head! And guess what, there ARE women who work there and there is no discrimination there, if you cant do it male or female you are gone..........I am a woman, and I can lift 150 if I have to, but you dont have to, there are ways, and you dont get help from your supervisor, once you are in the union you get help from a fellow teamster, til then get help where you can. Dont let anyone tell you the am shift is easier, besides being strong, you must also think. Tough to do that time of day if you party til start time, which will also get you dismissed. All UPS work is hard and stressful, but the benefits also outweigh the negative things. And it isnt really negative, but it sounds like you are a soft city boy, you'll find out the real world here, and the reason there is a turnover is because it is hard and too many 20 yr olds are way too soft. They would rather flip burgers and work hard for 5.50 than actually use your body and make 10, and be healthier for it, and its only 3 to five hours, who couldnt do that? Good Luck OPIE [/QUOTE]
