[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 4354313, member: 60776"] I'd have to agree with most here and say stick it out at Express or just leave to a different company/industry if you can. Starting at UPS in your mid-40s and hoping to get a regular route quickly is just tough. I'm a similar age as you, but I've only been with Express <10 years. I know how this job already beats up my body, so I don't know if I could handle what UPS drivers do for 20 more years. I interviewed with UPS years ago and had to decline when I found out I'd be a handler for close to 3-4 years before I ever got to be a driver. That's why I ended up with Express. Hopefully you have been saving aggressively for retirement. $26/hr doesn't sound like a ton to live on and retire, but it can be done if you've done the right things savings-wise over the years. It is bull:censored: that Express hasn't topped you and many others out by now, but it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
