What a waste of a thread. Everyone who has ever worn the browns (and the people who supervise full-time) knew exactly what the job was about when they took it. If they didn't, shame on them for not noticing UPS trucks on the road all hours of the day, 6 days a week.

Steve is going through a divorce, is on a new route, has had late air, is rushing through his pickups, been accused of road rage and is trying to get done as early as possible so that he can, among other things, braid his daughter's hair.
You should be up to speed now.

Thanks, Upstate. I was really wondering what the guy was trying to get at when he posted a picture of a young child.

LOL, that was the comic book edition of my life.
Apparently you don't have children, a wife or any family, for that matter, or better yet, that DO matter. My daughter, in the aforementioned picture, needed Dad to spend more time with her, so instead of plopping her in front of the TV, or making her busy doing anything else, we had FACE time. You know, where you sit down and actually spend time (quality time), you being you and she being her.
In the event that you ever get a family, may I suggest this as an idea?
Oh, and yes, I am talking to you in THAT sort of tone!

I have a happy wife, a happy daughter, and another on the way. You can talk to me in any tone you so desire, the fact remains that we do the same job, and if you can't deal with what our job requires, find a new career or turn off the tears and brown up. Peace.

How is this a waste of a thread? Steve is dealing with something that many drivers at my center also deal with. The demands of the job are making it tough to spend the time he would like to with his kids.
We have several drivers at my center who are divorced with children. I don't mind taking extra work on the days they need to get home early. I am lucky enough to see my kids every night, some are not.
Don't go running off at the mouth to Steve, a lot of us here have his back and it just makes you look like a jerk.

Just a few years ago I was averaging 4-5 hours overtime a week. These hours were reasonable and expected. These last two years has seen it creep up to between 9-12 a week. Those were peak hours when I started! Glad I am as old as I am. Would hate to be just starting out in this company.

LOL @ tears. I set my priorites, and you have set yours.
Thanks t24 and Re-Raise, much appreciated!

Again, everyone who takes this job knows what it entails. You will miss certain holidays, you will get in late sometimes, you will be tired at the end of the day. Crying about it won't garner any sympathy from me, especially when a phone call is all it takes to get the day off. I make time the for my kid, my father worked a 65 hour week when I was growing up and he made it work for me and my brother and sister, too. Indulge him if you want, I'm not interested in it. If that makes me a jerk, then so be it. I've been called worse by better anyway.

Withheld: Imagine spending time with your kids if you were divorced. No wife at home to take care of those little things you take foregranted...picking them up from school/daycare, bath, homework, dinner. All that is on you after work. Is your dinner cooked when you get home? All you have to do is change clothes, clean up a bit, and sit down with the family? Having a spouse at home to do those things for you makes a big difference. My hubby used to work the 3-11 shift, now he works days. There is alot less stress added to my day worring how late I would be picking up our daughter from the sitter and going through the evening routine before 10pm.
This site is an opportunity to vent out the stresses of working for UPS. We all know what the job is, there is a unique understanding among us. We get it.....most people don't.
Steve is going through a tough time recently.....I for one will be here to cheer him up a little if I can, as I would for anyone else on here if needed.
