Is this true about working at FedEx, USPS, and UPS?

The average age of the workers in these jobs is probably 30 plus. Not sure where this type of thinking comes from
shyt like that is crazy. One minute we don't work and lazy so Mexicans are here to do the jobs we don't wanna do. The next minute we broke ass as bums for bums for working regular jobs. Goofy ass nikkas always talking about nothing.

Man I was the youngest as a driver and most of those dudes were in their 40s and 50s.

There's probably a reason though. Most younger folks will see it for a while and decide to leave and do something else.

Just because they are working that age, doesnt mean they want to.


I spent my summer college days working with some Guatemalans guys clearing land and laying foundation.

Everyone (who spoke english) to a man told me you dont want to be doing this kind of work in their 30s.

I don’t know where this cap coming from about the usps being a cake walk :skip:
Maybe in 2006-2015 before amazon
But nan nikka on here got the heart to deal with Post Office shyt on here
Especially when you have to deliver Amazon, Ups, FedEx and Dhl
Plus mail :Kd:
Don’t @ me no fukk shyt
I worked there for 15 years and you can’t tell me a muthafukkin thing:unimpressed:
That shyt is cake at my distribution center, maybe it’s different at other locations. I can’t speak on being a carrier or a PSE but the worst part about putting letters in a cage or on a belt is it just gets boring. APBS and fingers make me feel like I’m stealing money sometimes. You don’t even handle parcels the way you do at UPS

Breh you're trying to take it the wrong way.

I'm saying the younger generation's tolerance for bad working environments is short.

They know it won't get better.

I worked for fedex ground for 8 years. He’s not lying he just got unlucky. I did the heavy trailer and loading the fedex vans for a couple months, then I got to unload the trailers. My last position two positions was driving around a cart dropping off stuff at different sections and finally zip code corrections.

I worked at the Memphis hub a few years. In what may be the most physically demanding area. Started in summer, those first few months are brutal if you’re not already in shape. But you adjust and basically end up some kind of industrial athlete lol (not a coincidence that I was putting my ex through the mattress with ease then). not sure how fat and or lazy people last. also they’re crazy strict about tardiness and attendance, most of the people you start with won’t be there in a years time

oh and the injuries are REAL. mfs getting their legs crushed and losing limbs and shyt. even if you’re doing your best to stay safe, it doesn’t mean your coworkers are. My last day I was rushing and forgot to chock/brake my tug. a 6000lb+ vehicle running over your foot, even with composite toe boots :sadcam:
