[QUOTE="btrlov, post: 4961795, member: 29173"] what is your financial goals? at 52 , fedex wont cut it retirement wise …the pension is just not there and wont be there . TSP is comparable to 401k. Fedex might have a better match but nothing related to compensation is to be trusted in regards to fedex. They might have u load air cans evenings or unload response cans or trucks midday. Not ideal for 52. If u go fedex express, get a route learn the job , go to rtd, dispatch or management. I think morning shifts are better. Ask a lot questions at the “interview” if u go CCA ask about 204b. Regular might be faster than u think too, keep close to your shop steward. I wouldn't want to case mail and walk at 52. The 1-2 bundle system is slowing moving toward a more package friendly system. Get as much V-time and penalty time as possible and always keep ur name on the ODL list. the most recent Federal retirement is not that lucrative unless ur military or work under rail road retirement … some federal retirements(like RRR amtrak) give u a spouse benefit on top of ya regular pension. Might wanna look into that for USPS. plenty of old heads at fedex the old heads that complain but line up like robots to punch in everyday are lifers , alot are at top pay and not going anywhere anytime soon. u will be lucky if u get their cushy routes . Alot those guys did not properly plan for retirement in their adult lives so now they work to their late 60s early 70s to full SS and medicare kick in. they claim they stay because of kids college or “medical benefits” but really its just lack of preparation.
