D. BerginI worked at UPS for 11 years, 6 as a driver. It was a real stressful, high energy job. I decided after 11 years I valued my back and I wasn't really a high energy type of guy to begin with and decided it was time to move on.
I remember one town I delivered in the local USPS branch had trained their employees to be particularly nasty to us. If we had a delivery inside a Post Office they would make us wait quite awhile before deciding to accept the package............or not accept it at all. (Sometimes a P.O. Box address would slip through and we'd try to get it where it was going anyways.)
One time I had about a dozen 50+ lb. packages I had to hand deliver down a steep driveway in the rain. Partway through the delivery a USPS mail truck pulls up. The mail lady gets out and starts yelling at me for parking in front of the mailbox and making her get out of her truck to put some letters in the box...........as if I had known she was delivering in the same area. Needless to say I kept an eye out for her after that parked in front of as many mailboxes as I could find.
