[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 242875, member: 5938"] Wow, pondfish, you've got courage. I'm 50 and have been an inside worker for 15 years. The body hurts sometimes but at my age it would probably be creaking a bit no matter what the job. A desk job would probably see me at 200 pounds and sloppy muscles. You have a good work ethic and desire so give it a try. My dad used to say "Do somethiing, dammit, even if it's wrong!", when I was in a state of indecision. Are you good at navigation? Do you like to drive? Do you work well under pressure? All these qualities will help you. Another thought, UPS is now into a "quota" phase where they are trying hard to diversify the workforce. High profile company needs to be seen as giving a fair shake to all. We are seeing all ages, races and sexes coming into our center and as long as they are trying to do a good job they stay. Driving is a whole different story from inside work and not easy but you have wisdom and maturity on your side. Give it a try, do the best you can to follow instructions while keeping yourself safe. Worst that can happen is they let you go or you decide it isn't right for you. Be sure to come back here for suggestions, encouragement and friendship. The drivers on this forum have years of experience and are very supportive. There is nothing they haven't seen or heard so feel free to ask and vent. Best of luck to you and let us know how you're doing. dw [/QUOTE]
