At your center, what belt do new preloaders start on? Any fun preload stories?

[What The Hawk?]

I got started on belt one of three. It's a small center. A supervisor is telling me I shouldn't have been started on that belt but i think it'll make me a better preloader in the end. I really like this job so far.

We only had one belt but the packages were stacked up 5 ft high on it and were falling off the far end.

I smell reefer as I walk into the building. Preloaders smoking the wacky weed I guess?

At the end of belt three they smoke weed. Every single time i walk down there i smell it.

A belt with 3 trucks and about 600 pieces I started on. Top yellow. I have 4 trucks in 2 cages now and I think its actually easier

What are cages?

What are cages?

They go around the box line where the pkg cars are parked

Funny story.....when I was preload I would load a box, go back to the boxline, grab another box and load it in a truck. I would repeat that several hundred times a day. It was hilarious!!!

We have just the one belt so...

All new preloaders go to learn in my truck without fail. Once they become proficient they are moved immediately...

Normally new hires in our building sit in the break area for 10 minutes or so until one of the sups walking around realizes that they are there. Then they're thrown into the unload without any instruction. By break, half of them quit. After break they're moved to belts to learn how to load trucks. If they don't quit by the end of the day, they start loading 3 trucks with someone else for a day or two until they are let loose.

No wonder preload smart scanning is so successful. "Whoa, what car did I stack these two packages for again?"

You talking about the new hire preloader or the new hire PT preload training supervisor?

I had a preloader walk out on me when I was doing the safe work method on day 1. Was there less than 5 minutes. Never even said a word.

How did that make you feel?

I went into the bathroom and cried for a few hours

At first I was against the scanners because I don't like change at all. But to be fair, it makes my job so much easier loading. I can't mess up so long as the morons in the unload don't spa over the label. I haven't had a misload or a bad slap in 2 months now. Our preload manager can't say a negative thing to me anymore because I'm following UPS' methods and loading properly, writing on every single box, and working safely. Nevermind the large stack and/or pile of boxes outside of my doors because they have me loading more than everyone else nearby...
