Have you ever seen an old UPS truck for sale ?

Maybe they contract out these days

They have so much business these days, they're having to rent trucks to keep up with the demand. I see at least 20 Ryder trucks in the sort area every day.

I've been working there about five months, the turnover there is mind boggling. Every week, they bring in 10 new people for the sort/load hub, 90% are gone before the month is out.

Why? Some get better jobs, but the younger workers split because of the work...there's no a/c in the warehouse, though giant fans are everywhere. I lose 3-5 pounds during every 4 hour shift. I dropped 20 pounds my first three months under the "UPS Workout Program"...lol.

Amazon's model works much better when unemployment is over 5%...not so much at less than 4. I'm sure their warehouse operations have as much turnover as UPS.
