Never had heard of that, and made the mistake of googling it.

I was an insurance agent before I started working for UPS . I sold quite a bit of insurance and was doing quite well I thought . Then a buddy of mine started working at UPS as a PC driver and he told me how much he was making per hour . He said they are high on veterans (which I am one of) . I applied and in about a years time I was wearing that brown also . I liked the idea of a nice fat check weekly , that insurance business was up and down .
Plus a pension

I have a double major in finance/economics. Spent two years at a very nice brokerage firm. Hated every day, so went back to hospitality. Worked my way up at a very nice restaurant and parlayed it to an Food&Beverage manager at a high end country club. Did that for 5 years till the stress became too much(every event was 100k plus and employees never showed up). Tried my own business after that was mildly successful but insurance cost were getting out of hand. So tried seasonal driving at UPS(hardest job of my life) Hours maxed out every week. Body hurt daily and on my one day off I did nothing which pissed the family off. But strangely liked the job.
5 years later I have a nice route with zero stress. I really like my job. Even when dispatch messes it up. It's still a super easy zero stress job. I do know I got lucky and never had to do the p/t route. Doubt I'd be a driver if I had to do it that way
The job isn't for everyone, but once you can get to the "it'll get done when it gets done" phase. It's really friend@#king easy

Probably can count on one hand how many general membership meetings you've been to your whole career.

One here. They were always on a week night at 6:00-----3 hours away. Then again the Union only showed up at our building a couple of times when they were pushing the DRIVE crap and maybe twice before an election to buy beer and pizza-----and votes.

You got that right,how could I forget that . Looking back on those days that I wanted to quit . Just over whelmed with to many stops and to many miles to go. That pension makes it now worth it . We make more in retirement than a lot of people working 40 hour a week jobs . Thanks for the reminder !
