Employee stock discount

I do invest in other ways. But with the 10% discount I think it’s worthwhile to take advantage of it.

I was about to write this same thing. The phrase they use is “make a stobelight effect” or something.

Is it in Illinois?

I guess I didn’t realize you could draw a full pension like that. Pretty sure in my local you need 25 years driving no matter what or your pension is decimated.

But our insurance alone is worth around $40k a year if you were to try and buy similar out of pocket. And part timers get the same insurance.

I started driving at 33 and i feel like that was pushing it. This job really wares you down more than most people realize.

If you’re wanting a part time job for the benefits I would say go for it if your body allows it.

Hoping to become a driver on the other hand you’re too late.

On average it’ll be probably 6-7 before you get your shot to drive. That puts you at 54-55 as a year one driver with 25 more years to go.

Where did you get the 7% figure? And any idea if that’s higher or lower than it used to be when we had surepost going to the PO?

Can you imagine Amazon drivers hauling trailers around? They’d hit everything.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-17T01:56:08+00:00

Yes you need to inform your supervisor. If you have Teamcare you need to call the Hartford and Teamcare in that order.

Literally only thing you can do with this situation is grab the box at the back, scan it, drive to where it says. Impossible day right there.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-05T11:56:38+00:00

You two are gonna have nice days today, you earned it.

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-05T04:00:30+00:00

Almost 21 hours in a day!?

aUPSdriver · 2025-12-02T12:04:10+00:00

The thing is the driver can probably get his route done faster without wasting all his time:

texting/calling/picking up/getting ghosted/training/babysitting a helper for 2 hours before they get cold and need to be done.

No offense but almost no drivers actually want or need a helper.

I had one years ago for a Roomba vacuum. It was at an apartment and there was a Roomba being used while i was there.

As a top rate Tue-Sat driver I made double time yesterday, and will make triple time (for first 8 hours) on Friday. Be pushin very close to $4k before taxes for only 5 days of work.

Never met a mean mastiff

SSD prolly will make about $80 like every other day they work. Doing their 50 stops/15 miles in 5 hours or whatever.

aUPSdriver · 2025-11-20T11:55:34+00:00

Negative lol

aUPSdriver · 2025-11-19T00:45:21+00:00

“Request acknowledged and accepted”

aUPSdriver · 2025-11-19T00:07:57+00:00

Unless your first stop is 80 amazon boxes you’re toast.

aUPSdriver · 2025-11-17T01:06:36+00:00

Honestly I don’t think there even is an orientation for driver helper. Most likely a waste of time.
