I worked for UPS back in the mid 80's during the high holiday season rush
when they hired temp drivers along the North Miami condo canyons. Ran me and the package truck so hard for 8-10 hours straight that the transmission let loose and I lost about 10 lbs (no lunch or breaks till the last address is delivery attempted). The training supervisor who rode with me during the first week didn't flinch one bit. He kept the stopwatch ticking and hauling boxes till 1st and 2nd gear were no more. I was so exhausted by evenings end, that rolling boxes out the back onto the ground were just part of the routine. They claimed that running flat out ensures high profits, healthy salaries and hourly wages. I quit after the 3rd day and got hired by Fedex when it was called Federal Express. Drove a truck again but under totally different conditons. They didn't harass me if I strayed from the "faster" center traffic lane. So the point being is that I can empathise when I see the brown shirts on the road. I almost pity them. Would I ship with Big Brown? I'll let you decide.
