God blessCouldn't have said it better myself Jangles. I was raised as a social security kid by my grandparents who didn't really didn't have a pot to piss in, while mommys boy going to private school dad was mia, along with drug attic mom who ive seen 4 times in 38 years was mia also. All I know is to stay hungry, im like a stray dog who hasn't ate in a week, super hungry all the time, and that feeling will never go away or be lost in my inner conscious. Lifes valuable lesson learned at a very young age. Sucked going through it but that lesson I learned and endured only made me a super strong soldier mentally.
Why are so many drivers such whiners?

Oh Yeah
Its all good dude, the obstacles and roadblocks you endure as you ride the ride only make you grow stronger and a better wiser more mentally stronger person. Things that come easy to ya in life don't help ya grow they only make your drive and desire to work harder to achieve things less of an effort, which doesn't help ya grow mentally and spiritually as a person.

I don't whine but instead file grievances.

Management whines just as much as drivers do.

I think having the protection of seniority and being in the union allows us to freely express our opinions on some of the stupidity that takes place.
It also appears to me that more often than not the drivers that whine tend to get what they are asking for. If it didn't work,they wouldn't keep doing it.

Squeaky wheel get's the grease. Unfortunately the more you bitch and moan the better off you will be. I always tried to be super helpful, until I realized there were drivers with less seniority than me that were punched out before they even asked me to help someone. (They always going to call the person first that's going to give the least grief). It sucks, but it is what it is, we have a driver in our center that is pretty low on the totem pole (granted she does bust her ass) and get's off pretty early every day. They won't even call her to help anyone anymore because she will light a fire so big the god's will see it.

You got a driver bid after 4 years??? I have been working part time for UPS for almost 7 years and have been signing bid sheets for the past 5 and I am STILL part time making welfare wages.
Quit crying about the fat, lazy, overcompensated drivers... you are one of them.

7 years?? That sucks.
11 months sounds much better.

I didn't start at UPS until I was almost 40 years old. The 25 working years before were filled with many jobs including my own business for 10 years. I understand what it's like having to pay for health insurance and not having a union to back me up if I screwed up. It's hard for these old timers to understand what it's really like out there in the real world.
