  • Not many people can say they've worked at the same place for 50 years, and if they can, not many still love it as much as they did when they started.

      50 years at anything is huge. But it shouldn't be 50 it should be more like 30 to 35 , so they can enjoy their pension. Most feeder drivers will not retire till they are about to die or feel sick .

      If you can't retire after 50 years fuck it light the j and give up. It's safe to say 50 plus years of being an employee is ridiculous. I just don't think like that. What's the point of being honest if I gotta work over 50 fuckin years and don't own the company? ?? That's longer than slavery in ancient Africa. Only the west would expect you to think like this. I can't wait to see what his vacation and benefits package looks like.

      Driving isnt as physically taxing on the body as opposed to warehouse type jobs but its not a paradise. You gotta deal with traffic and the stupid drivers out there that have no disregards for anyone else
      I suggest looking for a small company that delivers local or that delivers food and groceries to restaurants
      Im currently driving a tractor with a small 38 ft trailer delivery to a pizza company here in socal
      Its steady work i dont have to worry bout not having a job later on
      Its not the best pay but as i said its steady
      I work from 3 am to about 12pm and home the rest of the day
      Ultimately i would love to get into delivering beer or my top choice which is to deliver for in n out

    • @Lincolnator721
      @Lincolnator721 6 років тому +3

      I don't think that self-driving tractor-trailers will be reliable, especially in my state. It rains like crazy where I live, snows, droughts, etc. They have another 10 to 20 years to go before figuring out how to make the robots drive in inclement weather. Someone also needs to handle the packages for the regular moving trucks or whatever you want to call them. It takes a lot of money and time to figure out how to program a robot and make it think for its self.

    he was lucky to have a good job in a period of american greatness and richness. Nowadays stress dominates america and a few cents can make a company close its doors, so the burden is on the worker. The system has changed it just cant be the same. He also probably has a good house-wife taking care of all the rest and cooking healthy food. Stress these days and fast food kills you

    50 years and they didn’t promote him? He should be at the very top after all these years of hard ass work and loyalty

      No way man, as a truck driver, i have had the pleasure of talking to many old school truck drivers, and none of them would take a desk job. This man has probably been offered many times to change positions.

    Still driving for UPS after 50 years? This dude should be an executive by now. I know his pension is going to be beautiful tho.

    Good for him, not many people can say they've help one job that long. Unfortunately UPS is a company that was ruined by the Teamsters Union who make sure to do nothing but protect the lazy man. Makes for a hostile work environment if you're a you hard working individual.

    I bet his pension is $10k a month hahahahaha good for him. I’m a driver of 5 years now and it has its moments of both good and bad. He doesn’t have to run in and out 200 times a day. CDL guys have it so easy and make $40+ an hour now. Either way good for him
