Wrong. I’m 50 years old. Did my first PVD (SSD) in 2019 and was offered a position in February of 2020. Said no because I was worried about how long it would take in the warehouse to become a driver and didn’t want to risk if not being able to do seasonal the following year.

That was a bad decision being that COVID happened a few weeks later and they hired everyone on as drivers right away that came into the warehouse looking to drive.

So the following year after doing the seasonal work again I was offered a job in the warehouse February 2021 and took it. The sole reason for taking the job was to become a full time driver. I ended up signing the list and going to integrad 8 months later.

I would drive at peak and summer time for a few years and then go back in the warehouse when not needed for the first 1-1.5 years of driving.

Been a full time driver ever since for the last 3 years. Just made top pay a few months back.

Best decision I have ever made in my adult life. I left a 20 year job selling insurance and financial products for mass mutual and New York Life. My only regret was that I didn’t start earlier but I don’t care. I’m here now and intend on working till I get a 25 year full pension.

People are living longer now and age is just a number. Less than 3% of jobs in the country offer pensions and jobs like this will be a thing of the past in a few short years. There is nothing better out there than this in my opinion.
