[QUOTE="Shiftless, post: 4622072, member: 47472"] Generally speaking: This is what I saw during my tenure working at UPS. UPS drivers make very good money while not having to have a college degree. Lots of Overtime and Cadillac Health benefits with a Retirement plan. As I saw it, So many driver's would debt themselves to death when first starting out and then live a trapped cycle of debt!! New trucks , Boats, Toy's, Toy,s and More Toy's. Very few planned down the road. Fortunate for them O/T was abundant. I chose (I like choices) a different path. Learning early that as much as a new truck, Boat, Motorcycle or Plane sure is nice every 2 or 3 three years, the general outcome of living like that on UPS wages wouldn't work for US. Again its all about choices! That path allowed me to retire at my earliest date while I was 49 years old. A plan and Prudent investing made that happen. That is why leaving all that money on the table by not choosing to retire at your earliest date made sense to me. Again its about personal choice! I highly doubt anything has changed when drivers start making the big monies. Maybe they have? [/QUOTE]
