Some of them end up with Obesity, Diabetes...then DVT--> Stroke or PE on the road.
I didn't mention about ice-skiing in Winter since the tractor-trailer runs non-stop.
Pros: Some time Feeders go home happy with free-freaking deers. I love food from Deer.

Man it's crazy to see how many of y'all stayed with UPS THROUGHOUT THE DECADES. I look forward to it too. I'm only 22, that like most of yall tenures haha.

About to hit 2 years at UPS.

Had a guy get a route at just over 6 months. Deserves it too IMO. Was working 3 jobs when he started. Has the worst route in the building by far. Never seen him without a smile on his face. The dude almost cried when he made it to his 30. I said "You made it! You should be happy!" Guy says "I am happy. I finally get to spoil my kids for Christmas."
Hired as a Local Sorter 05/2013. Started as a belt sorter, moved to smalls sorter, and I would do address corrections post sort.
Moved to the sort supervisor 09/2014. Hoping to finish up college next year and try and get a gig flying for UPS. I was promised the same thing the seasonal drivers are told during orientation, except I got the "Oh you can fly for us in no time for sure!" How naive I was back then....
Props to you guys who have gone through so many years. I can't imagine doing this so long. My grandfather was a driver in the first building they opened in CT way back when. Still tells me stories from when he was a driver. Can't believe how different everything was back then.
Started last December as preloader (what a horrible decision that was, but at least it gave me perspective?).
Intend to become PT Sup and then bail once I get my degree in 6 years, my head is too far in the clouds to stay here the rest of my life (no offense to anyone who makes this a career).

You're joking, right? You honestly think you'll have any shot at flying for UPS? Unless you have many years of flight experience, it's not gonna happen

The flight instructor I had for my private pilots license flies for UPS now and he's 25.
And? What did he do before he taught you? I didn't say anything about age, it's about experience behind the "wheel"

He went to a four year university for aviation and then was a flight instructor. He didn't have years and years of experience when he got the job. He was 3 years out of college when he started flying for UPS.
I'm not expecting to get my degree and hop into a 767 if that is what you are getting at.

So much of that depends on the attitude of the person.
My attitude always at UPS was to work hard but have fun.
Oh yeah, "Never volunteer for any additional work" and "Underpromise and overdeliver".
