[QUOTE="Shiftless, post: 4597160, member: 47472"] My exit strategy started very early. I never thought I would keep working for UPS. It was just a part job when I started. Needed to support my habits while going to my local Jr. college. Then after looking around and seeing what a driver made versus working in some cubicle in an office and being able to work outside and on my own (so I thought) started to change my mind. Once in and a driver, I had an older pkg driver who was getting ready to retire at 65 years of age. Taught me many things to survive right out of the gate. Even after he retired and died 6 months later he sent a clear message to me! DONT wait to retire, get out as soon as possible!!! Altho he taught me a lot while alive, his mantra when he retired was he was gonna sit on the couch, drink beer and watch football. Sure enough 6 months later DEAD! But I got his message loud and clear from his passing! I left at 49, don't sit on couches and I stay friend - ing BUSY! [/QUOTE]
