A former neighbor of mine worked for UPS, and said the same thing! After he FINALLY became a driver, he was attacked by four guys who beat the crap out of him, and stole his truck! Now he has seizures, and can't be a driver anymore! So he retired, and he & his wife sold the house, (to the now deceased Herb next door) and they travel all over the U.S. in a RV! She does the driving!
i worked the graveyard shift for UPS one year, loading trucks. what a hellish job. part time work starting at 3:30am till 8:30am and physically demanding the whole time. room for growth within the company, but i was not going to load trucks for 5 years to eventually get on a waiting list to be a driver..
