[QUOTE="35years, post: 4533273, member: 60822"] Well, we can only go by your words. Which included being told to pick up the pace, getting coffee on company time, and not wanting to go all out for a low paying job. Understand we all had to qualify. Running was the only way. Some would come in an hour before start time to set up their truck off the clock. All of us looked for ways to shave a couple of seconds off every stop. That is the attitude it takes to make it as a UPS driver. I had 5 friends try to make it at UPS, none could hack it. Two became drivers for FedEx and a different firm. It is a different company than others. Only the most dedicated make it. Just showing up on time and kind of trying is not good enough. Every second counts. A half an hour late is not going to cut it. Sorry that's the way it is. No one is cut slack. Try 70 hours at below zero temps and icy roads in a snowstorm with no navigation on a route you have never done. You have not scratched the surface of difficult days. [/QUOTE]
