IS 48 too old to start @ UPS?

[Dhydratd]

We have a guy who started at 50 years old. He's 52 now and we had a conversation about how he felt and he said he still feels strong. He thinks he can go to 65. This guys a major workaholic though and a known runner which UPS clearly takes advantage of. In my opinion he has a pretty crappy route with 200+ stops a day, which according to Orion is a 9 hr dispatch. He loves his job and never complains.

He won't make it to 65.

If you plan to work past age 55, going into supervisory/management work should be your goal.

He's probably wanting benefits, so the goal of going into supervisory/management work would be a dead end.

It would take a certain kind of person to start this job at 48.... if he could do it he’d be a 1 in 100 superstar...

One in a million to survive to age 78 in a package car starting out today.

Don’t forget to get anywhere in management these days you have to be a piece of as a person.Not everyone wants to be that way

No, this is thread to give inspiration for people to save for retirement so they don’t work till they are 67.

The only thing I’m driving at 67 would be a golf cart or boat.

[wide load]

I'm healthy, active, and would want to work until 67. I'm in the interview process now, and keeping an eye on the strike. Any comments?

You should practice. Start by getting in and out of your car 200 times a day for five days straight. When it becomes a non-issue, add some weighted packages. Good luck.

 

[old levi's]

hell no, it's not too late to start...


but don't plan on finishing

 

[olroadbeech]

What do you mean by “keeping an eye on the strike?”

If we strike that’s your in?

I agree . if you are a potential scab then you are not welcome in my book.

otherwise i started here at almost 38 and left at almost 59. glad i left when i did. was taking a toll on body and i was in feeder.

Usually a guy who always wants to scratch and run is an indication that he's trying to impress and go into management, but I asked him and he has no intention. He's just got really good work ethic and he seems to fly straight. Guys who run in his delivery loop love him cause he gets most of the work when we are heavy. Dispatch can get pretty creative adding sections when they know they have a workhorse. There's no way hes going to keep up. I give him one more peak before he starts to work "safer".

If I were a swing driver, I would love to cover a route of a 67 year old.
