Anyone work for UPS or Fed Ex?

I’ve always wanted to drive a UPS truck. Hit the open road and deliver packages. Seems like a relaxing job that pays decent

You think relaxing is carrying heavy packages in the heat and driving a truck that has no air conditioning?

I have a buddy that's a UPS driver. He makes 100k some years but works a lot of overtime in shitty weather. He'll probably retire at 55 though and I'll still be working.

They make you be a loader first. Have fun with that

Your hours will suck as well and you work all the holidays

For anyone that answers FedEx, hurry up with my package.

I order my 40 lb bags of dog food on Amazon now. Think about that for a minute OP.

Dollys baw. Plus I lift. Will be able to skip deadlifts later on

Yes.
Very physical job.
Depending on which center/hub you work at you could be a part-timer for a long time.
All good kids like milk

You aren't getting the dolly out at every stop to carry it over a curb, around the trash cans, over the wet grass, and their gravel sidewalk that's 80' long when you need to make that 11am guaranteed delivery 2 miles down the road in 3 minutes.

Do you/they get bonuses based on delivery times met?

I'm the 90s it took ten years to go from sorter to driver at the hub in Nashville. Now it takes 1 year!!

It's been 15 years since I worked for an operator for DHL/Airborne Express...but yes, the owner had to meet certain performance metrics to get paid the full value of the delivery contract with the shipping company.
And if you missed too many of these without a reasonable excuse (late freight, broken truck, etc.) you were getting fired.

First one got “lost” once it got to the truck and was out for delivery.

Pension or no kids?

In his case no kids. Those guys are teamsters and have a pretty lucrative retirement. It's not really a job that most people could physically do at 60. They retire relatively young.
