[QUOTE="35years, post: 3075737, member: 60822"] Just for reference... 30 years ago start time was 8:15 Dispatch was 8.3 to 8.4 hours unless you wanted more. There were lines of trucks waiting to park at 4:20 PM. I was a runner-gunner and got in 2:30 -3:45 everyday. Played on softball teams, got to activities like normal people. No pkg drivers worked holidays. No forced Saturdays. Peak season was from the Mon after Thanksgiving till 2 days before Christmas. No one allowed to work over 12 hrs including lunch.Most peak days were under 10 hrs. Christmas Eve was 4 hours of work and paid for 8 (and did not work it Sat/Sun). My joints are shot. I don't know how guys are going to make it working to 62 years old, 10+ hrs a day for decades. [/QUOTE]
