[QUOTE="upsgrunt, post: 184259, member: 9295"] Brownie- No harm done here! I felt nothing of what you mentioned. I should have been more clear in my post of my intent for UPS as a company to realize that drivers are not simply hired from the neck down as I have heard from managers before. In defending what we make and the fact that we very much earn it, consider this: Have you ever considered that drivers are very much industrial athletes? Our season starts Jan 1st and last 11 months- then the grueling playoffs in December for 30 days and then a new season starts Jan. 1st. We have no "off" season. No time to heal nagging injuries. No time to get our strength or legs back. Consider also that most NBA, NFL, or other professional sports teams play for about an hour or two. We put in 9 or 10 hours every "game". For the schmuck who thinks that 30 and hour to "deliver a box" is ludicrous try this: play a 10 hour soccer game carrying a bowling ball. Do that 5 days in a row and tell me how your weekend goes! Then do it for 20, 25, 30 years and tell me that UPS doesn't get a pretty good deal for their money! [/QUOTE]
