[QUOTE="35years, post: 4339305, member: 60822"] I was hired by UPS and Fed Ex in the same week, over 30 years ago. My buddy signed on with FedEx the same month. He got to go driving right away, I put in 5 years in the hub at UPS. My higher income when driving allowed my wife to quit working when we started having kids, and I am so thankful she did. He doesn't make the kind of money I do but he was allowed to transfer to another location. He moved to a great fishing lake near a small town. He never faced the kind of harassment or the physical beat down we endure at UPS delivering heavy industrial stops and working 12-14 hours a day every peak. I would say only 1/2 the guys I started with were able to make it to retirement, so don't regret your decision. That being said, I am in a good spot since my pension will pay $50,000 to $60,000 a year depending when I go. Right now I am enjoying my cushy rural route and all the perks of being high seniority.
