I'd like to start with a simple hello. I have been loading at the columbus hub for almost a month now. I don't really have any questions that you all havn't already answered. I'm very happy to have this job. I've lost weight and I'm starting to gain a considerable amount of muscle. That rules! My only concern is the pay. I know that in time this job will be worth it but it's just not enough to live on yet. I'm holding my breath for a driving position even though I'm sure it's unwise to do so. Either way, wish me luck people. I have a little girl who's depending on me.
New to ups and the Cafe!

Welcome.. When I started I took a big pay cut and looked down the road knowing that eventually I would be making more Money. That said..it won't be easy as you will have more demands put on you that you never would of dreamed of. I made it and retired and wonder how I made it. Not an easy path but do your best,don't complain, come to work everyday, work as directed and you to can someday say "I Made it!"

Welcome to UPS (*unofficially), and the Brown Cafe. Hey Jenzer, how old are you? Do you have another job to make ends meet? If not, I suggest you get one, as a driving position may be a ways off. Good luck on your journey.

Welcome Jenzer, good luck with your new job. It is a great way to provide for your girl, the hours can be harsh, but I know my family is worth it. I keep pic of them in my truck to remind me if I get discouraged by all the bull that comes down from time to time. Work safe, and as directed, you'll be fine, and try to keep a positive outlook.

Take a deep breath, and step away from the computer. Just keep repeating to yourself, I won't respond, I won't respond.

If it's any consolation, jenzer, there's a guy in my building that's ready to move on because he can't pay his bills. Some people will stick it out and some won't. When you look at the list of those waiting to go driving, you can whittle away a bunch of people for different reasons.
Bad licenses, won't pass the class, will quit before called upon, don't want to go driving and such. Sometimes you have to be an optimist.
