Anyone who isn't a huge tool please reply

Tools are useful, and help get things done faster.

What is a cabana?

A Cuban taxi?

What kind? Reading comprehension?

Lawn care/snow removal.

Anyone can claim to own anything on the internet. I own a cabana in Fiji.

Anyone with 1k or less can "own" a lawn business. Very little overhead compared to owning a major business. I had one in college and sold it after.

@KingofFluff, Marty here just called you a tool.

Go get 'em tiger.

It was an honest question.
BTW how is your dad doing?

Doing fine. I have taken over most of the lawn care which is fine. Gives me an excuse to take the afternoon off from running misloads for me and the dog to visit and take care of things. UpState is right when he says money isn't everything. Reminds me of why I never went FT so I could have the choice of working all day or a half day. Most days I don't even feel like I work at all. Just ride around and drop packages off and visit with people. Life is great. Thanks for asking.

I guess I asked for it.

You sure did. Lighten up Francis!

Never used to be. Just like my son. Sure hope he learns sooner then I did. I was 28 before I decided to join the National Guard for the discipline and structure in my life. Did 22 years and was the best thing in my life I ever did. Besides marrying my wife. The first or second best thing that has ever happened in my life.

How long have you been with the company? They have essentially no benefits. They pay for medical and dental. If spouse has job benefits they aren't supposed to be on ups plan. They work 55 minimum hours a week but more like 60 65, only get paid for 40. Most full time supps not center management but the guys above pt management only get a 10k bonus at the end of the year which doesn't make up for the hours or verbal abuse they put up with not to mention lost time at home. A ups manager is an hourly who didn't want to do physical labor or someone who got hurt and had no choice but to go into management.

It's not quite that bad. We pay a SMALL PORTION of the benefits. For me, it's less than 100 bucks a month and 85% of that is before taxes. I had twin boys who spent 7 weeks in the NICU and hardly saw a bill, they may have tallied up over 500k in the hospital, so I'm fine with the tradeoff.
But, yea, we don't get to say the benefits are free, like drivers do, for now.

I don't see us (drivers) paying any portion of our premiums through 2023.

If you can do that and not suffer a loss in coverage, more power to you.

Some of us has lost coverage
Because too many weak and non voters
