New UPS gig

[rod]

Why not? I have 40 and only 58. Normal retirement age is 62-65....max SSI at age 67. I enjoy the free insurance.....free. 7 weeks vacation......$130k.........

The only reason? See above. I'm in my highest earning potential(realized). My financial guy says don't retire now. Use your earning power. Slated to make $1million(more)(+/-) before retirement. Then SSI/Pension/Medicare=free money and Healthcare......

There it is....wonder all you want....you guys on fixed incomes. I'll enjoy what a good paying income provides(mostly on weekends though, granted) and slide on into retirement......and if I suddenly die......shrug.

Just continue to work Slugger. You are our hero.

Seriously- who really gets punished there? Those guys are idiots with apparently no life to live.

I seen a few drivers do the exact same thing

I don’t care. They’re contributing to my pension, so it’s all good to me!

I do realize you are disingenuous.....along with all the rest here. Just an old bully.....mired in your fixed income....2 for 1 at Sizzler on Sundays....

 

[quad decade guy]

Congratulations, this is a good gig. One of our best routes was similar. Pickup EarlyAM at the airport, run it, then run about a six-hour route and get off by five every day. We had a couple of other routes that started that early picking up missorts from two other local Hubs. I did EarlyAMs for a couple of years, we were dispatched lighter on our regular route and were off the clock by five.

I wish it worked this way in our building! I am 10th on the seniority list; they call us in as needed for EAMs. They never adjust our dispatch when we come in early for air. Still go out with regular stop count.

Honestly, sounds like their reason to live, doesn't it?
Kinda sad
