Any Follow ups here on female package handlers?

[burrheadd]

If hired I'll take it day by day. If I survive the first month with my mental and strength not completely disintegrated maybe I'll have a chance. I'm going in expecting the worst but giving my best.

It definitely hot as H in there but doable. I know I'll probably have my A handed to me a million times. But I'm ready for it lol

You go girl
I like your attitude

It's intensely physical, is all. I don't think you'll have your A handed to you as long as you can handle the physically. Pay close attention to the safety methods, especially in regards to lifting and lowering. Use them every time, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TIRED. You'll perform those motions thousands of times. Unless you're already teaching P90X classes, your muscles are going to hurt the first 3 weeks.
After that, your body will be accustomed to the routine, do the job to the best of your ability using the methods and NORMAL effort, and you'll be fine.

My first three hour day felt like 20 hours. Lol

When you get older the days feels like it is 24 hours long

You didn't answer my question....how long did you work preload again?

 

[twoweeled]

They will hire you. You will probably be given the easiest assignments.

That wasn't very nice - but it is true!!

Took me while to figure out what this was! I didn't know if it was upside down, sideways, or what da heck!!

 

[twoweeled]

Lol I'm not sure that would make a good impression.

I'm not sure it wouldn't!

It's in there somewhere.

An illiterate person could still be hired?

No doubt! Look at the center manager who interviewed her.

Just for you drivers who can't figure out what to get me for Christmas. Get me one of these! This is my type, FYI.
If she can drive, cook and has a high paying job. I'm good!

My tour is at 11:15 tonight

Did you tell them that's too late, and it's dark outside at that ungodly hour?

 

[twoweeled]

During my tour I saw serveral woman on sorting that definitely didn't look easy

Lol, My other job is retail they have you out during any time of day or night during holiday season. I'm originally from NY so that's like normal to me.

Interesting! Those may have been the 3 exceptions in the Continental USA I've read about!

If your in the unload, get ready for some weight loss, or looking for another job.

Sorting the "slide" or small sorts where the package size will fit through a coat hanger?

"Sort" is a vague term. We would need to know if you saw "high volume pick off", "primary sort aisle" "small sort" or "preload boxline slide sort".

They said most of us would be loading. I thought that looked worst of all. The 2 guy that were down unloading made it look like a piece of cake (but I know better ). The loading definitely scared me the most.
