Hey I am a 46 year old package car driver. I would like to retire around 62. The oldest driver in our center is 60 years old. Hope my body can hold up.
I plan on retiring by 45, couldnt imagine going till 60
It's posts like these that make me glad I'm working as much as I can now to maximize my earning abilty while I still can so I don't have to stay here past 55.Hey I am a 46 year old package car driver.

Don't worry you get smarter and better with age. I'd go to feeders though.Hey I am a 46 year old package car driver. I would like to retire around 62. The oldest driver in our center is 60 years old. Hope my body can hold up.

From what I'm seeing, the old timers (drivers) stick around forever... doesn't matter how crippled they are, they manage to have a nice easy work day, everyday... otherwise they wouldn't stay so long.

I did just that after only 17 years. It's called "Feeders".I left at 55 after 25.. I did not want to be a cripple when I retired. Wanted to enjoy life while still in somewhat good shape..Leave as soon as you are eligible and if you have to......get a less stressfull, physical Job to get by..You can't buy time..
You keep running all them miles HANSOLO youll last 8 years instead of 16. You better protect them knees son. Im not dogging you trying to stay in shape but commonsense would tell me if im beating the hell out of my knees everyday at work why the hell would I beat the hell out of my knees outside of work. Outside running aint paying your bills UPS is. You want to run all them miles I got a better one for ya and will get plenty of exercise doing it. Its called a stationary bike. Live it, learn it, love it. Just saying dude in my opinion its idiotic to beat the hell out of your knees on top of doing this crazy job everyday. This job is a marathon you aint going to win that race in 1 day. Take care of your body and use commonsense.I work with a personal trainer one day a week. She has help me to improve my balance and strength. I run 2 to 3 miles 3 times a week. Hopefully I will be able to work another 16 years. It helps to have 6 weeks vacation as well.
