I like the way I feel when the truck is finally empty. I like the dogs that know I have bisquits for them. I like the folks I see everyday that really seem to care how my day is going. I like the old people that I wait patiently for at the front door because I know they need me to. I also like the old ones that I walk in through the open door because I know they need me to. I like many of my fellow drivers because they are the only ones who really understand this job.
I agree that the old and disabled do appreciate us more when we do a little extra to make them happy but another time that I feel appreciated is when I come back from a few weeks of vacation because my cover driver is kind of an :

The people and the customers make a tough job pleasant. The satisfaction of being part of the best team out there adds to it.
The challenge of keeping that reputation invigorates and sometimes beats me down on a bad day.
One thing I see a need for as retirement becomes more prevalent is a need for a retired ups group. Support each other. Increased buying power on those senior vacations. A chance for old soldiers to tell war stories over a few beers or discuss the differences from building to building. Someone needs to get moving on this idea before I monopolize it in about 10 years.
p.s. spell check gave me a thumbs up only one spelling error this time.

I noticed that Scratch said thet he was able to watch his customers kids grow up...Yea, I get to do that too. But, it's pretty bad when you see your customers kids more than your own. At least that's how it seems to be around here.

Good question. I like the fact I determine my day. I like being able to go outside during the day. I like the real diverse group of people I deal with everyday, what other job ever really gets you into so many different peoples lives. Almost every job has a boss, so get used to the fact someone is always going to want more from you no matter where you work. And we get payed very well and have great benefits! ie vacation
