Driving is where the money is but it's definitely not a job for everyone.
Should I become a on car supervisor

Lmao... Yeah I said that wrong. It was a suggestion he made. Their offer would have to be a 95k salary. And that wouldn't happen I'm sure. So I will stick with my hourly pay.

I liked my time as a helper, but I don't wanna have to deal with all of the bull
that drivers put up with every day. There are other reasons why gaining FT employment with UPS is unappealing to me, like the hours, no transfers, etc., so my plan is to get my degree and get out. Maybe go PT sup at some point closer to the end (when I'm ready to quit) just to pad my resume.We make more money than most people with college degrees.I liked my time as a helper, but I don't wanna have to deal with all of the bull

Sometimes i feel like a nut sometimes i dont
we have 90 routes on the average and swing drivers bidding out all the time. This center is running on a shoe string of bad decisions
All the years I've been here, I've never seen so many guys quit as I had in the last couple of years.
My biggest sticking point is that I don't want to live here forever. I want to move to a smaller town, closer to family. My understanding is that once you go full-time, you have a snowball's chance in hell of transferring out of state.
I'd rather have the freedom to move, and make a little less money, than be stuck here forever...even if I am making $80k+.
I made 89k that's the most I ever made. We had several guys over 100k

I'm certainly glad, we're seeing a more emotionally stable Monkey, as a result of an extra 3 years at UPS, here on BC.
Only In America can you have a High School Diploma and make more than someone who "wasted 4 to 5 years" taking business classes they are the dopes
Not as much opportunity as there used to be. Back in the days many factory , coalminers and steel workers made more than teachers and other highly educated people

I know of at least 50 driver transfers. And a ton more who have turned down a transfer.

We can't keep new hires. The sheer harassment is too overwhelming for most of them. Make it out of their 30 day packet with little to no actual experience and then get wrote up 3 times in the first week for doing things they were trained to do, but were obviously wrong.

I think people are looking at this wrong. It isn't the degree that makes people successful in most jobs.
It is that most people who are bright and work pretty hard in high school just go to college as the next step.
If higher education didn't even exist, and kids just went to work right out of high school, I think a lot of the same people would be good employees.
Most people learn how to do their jobs after they are hired, not from a textbook in a lecture hall.
These millennials aren't going to put up with this crap

I just don't understand how no one can look at the long term benefits of this job and stick with it. It really isn't that bad. Get a bid route and it makes it so much easier.
Honestly not everyone can't handle this job. If they could we would make a lot less.

I had an Oncar for a few years, that had trashed his back as a pt'er. I always thought it would take someone really special to be able tell other people to do things (with astraight face) that they themselves had disabled themselves at with their own decisions and lifting skills.
