I'm sure both are full of toe curling excitment.
Is being a UPS delivery driver a good career

I suppose I could pay the neighbor kid to post in fluff and I would be the reigning poster.

Worked over 10 years pt. Load unload primary sort you name it.. while working 2 other jobs most of the time outside ups. So no YOU give ME a break. Not trolling I know wtf I'm talking about. Any position at ups is demanding and I enjoy physical work, and have lived the struggle for years. Fact is going from anything to package is going from bad to ridiculous and the sad truth is it doesn't have to be that way. All we need is some union backbone regarding more routes/drivers out daily, regulate bulk, regulate over 70s. It's not rocket science. There are harder manual labor jobs, I've done them. THEY ARE NEVER consistently 10-12 hour days.

God, help us all.....
If you talk to someone who didn't work pt very long and when they did they didn't have to work another job with it or if you talk to someone who has never had a hard job an example would be a job with long hours inty weather conditions with no shade... then that person is more likely to tell you this isn't a good career, your body can't take it, bla bla bla. Talk to someone who has actually struggled and had to bust their ass at a physically demanding job and you'll get a different response. Not everyone is the same therefor not everyone can take the same punishment.
Is 12.5 years working preload, with a full time job during the day tough enough?
Is still running a route at age 63 tough enough?
I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone!

I now have a stalker that follows me and slaps me with red X's.
I feel special.

We had one fired for lying about being on jury duty. The judge had dismissed him a couple days before.

That’s Craptacular
You have no idea how management rides your ass as a driver. And you do realize that drivers also have pickups as well as deliveries? Some routes pick up more packages than they deliver.
What you don't know about UPS could fill the Grand Canyon.....lol

I definitely agree with you on that.
Regardless, I do want to just keep plugging away until I get full time warehouse or driver. I'm getting burnt out from the landscaping and honestly owning a business just isn't for me anymore

Don't leave UPS altogether, don't give up, if you really want to be a driver then by all means try seasonal or permanent, you'll have a qualifying period, within the first few weeks of that you should know whether you truly want to have that BS as a permanent part of your life or not. If you somehow get a chance to go article 22 (Inside/inside, air driver/inside) by all means do that. You might not work optimum hours for a "normal" life (maybe twilight/night, night/sunrise) but your life will still not suck as much because you won't be constantly dreading work and wondering just what kind of crap you will be walking into day to day.
