Can't. Turned them down earlier this year. I can't take a bid where it's not a steady shift. Even though as a driver I'm never home at the same time every night, I start at the same time every day, and I don't work weekends, and with my current family situation with the kids in school etc, I can't do the Q List. Really wish I could.

Shave, cut your hair and dish those glasses and you could go into management.
Oh yeah, you have to give up any silly idea that your beliefs have any meaning or significance.

Almost crossed over to the Dark Side, but someone I know that was a driver, became a sup, then quit the company completely dissuaded me from doing so.
in the face and lost my job….not for me

Feb of 2017 I will be 55 and have 37 years. I just hope I can hold on for 3 years.

I took the inside job a little while back(medical reasons). Blood pressure perfect now, body in general feels better, don't have to deal with snow, rain, heat, or cold, and easier work. Not much OT, but if you can handle the less pay, then I recommend it. Just pick the right job. You want to be healthy and be able to enjoy your retirement.

I had 34 years. I wanted to go 1 more year but my body was just wearing out. I have rested and healed up after retiring and feel about 10 years younger. I almost took an inside job just to add more years but I was just too tired of the daily BS. Plus I was in a position where I could leave if I wanted to. That was the UPS plan - long hours and harassment so the oldtimers would retire and most drivers with over 30 years, or even 25 left over about a 2 year period.

I could retire this year with 25 and out. Kids still in college, a couple years left on the house, wife only 28. 2019 Im gone, maybe 2018.

Worked 33 years. If you can afford to retire and, are able to retire, do so. Any additional years you work you will never get back. Just remember...Retirement is when you start working at living, not living at work!

First let me say, I understand it's entirely up to you when you retire. Having said that. I hear this same response all the time. But what is the thought here. Do you want to wait till your unhealthy and not happy to retire? I have 30, healthy, all my important parts still work. Can't wait to get out of here!

And your last check held to recover losses incurred by your actions.
Probably worth it to some.
