[QUOTE="Random_Facts, post: 869966, member: 30383"] (Pre-loader myself, loading the famous 4 truck). I feel your pain! (Ok to some extent at least). The best advice I can give would be the following... 1). As everyone always says safety first. I'd recommend bringing a water bottle to work. That way you can drink some and not have to go off the line every few minutes. Half gallon works the best. The one with the handle. Unless of course you're a camel and have to pee after you drink that. I just happen to sweat it off lol. water bottles are your friend! 2). Grab some totes in the beginning of the day, (those brown bins usually in small sort, they come down and the sorter usually throws them off after going through them). At least in our hub that's how it works. Anyway, grab a few of those. Place them underneath the belt/or behind the package car. When AIR comes down, (air letters/small boxes with air) NDA. Place them in those totes. Less stress for a lot of others that way. easy for the driver, and saves you a trip in the car. 3). Are you in the front of the belt? Or one of the lucky ones who get the back of the belt/ Usually next to the stop bar? If you're in the front of the belt, request to have a car taken off. As it's a pain. If you're in the back of the belt, (and if the guy in front of you doesn't miss a lot). That'll make your life a little easier. 4). Slow down, don't rush. it's not a race. So what if the guy next to you is clean. (he might have been there forever also). take a pace you feel most comfortable with, and stick with it. 5). Every hub is a bit different, but if you own a walk-man/ipod. Bring that. (just remember the one ear bud in ear rule). I never thought in a million years I would ever bring one to work. But 2 weeks ago a co-worker talked me into it. best decision I've ever made. It really does make a lot of difference. 6). If you get a huge bulk stop, and if you have a stacking board. Pull the bulk stop off and set it there till the end of the day. That way you don't have to load it down the center, and make life more complex. 7). Talk with your drivers, most are understanding people, who've been there forever (most likely). they give some of the best tips in my humble opinion. sure your supervisor should know...(wait did I just type that?). ehh. They are supposed to know, but what do they know lol. Anyway. I wish you the best of luck! Keep a positive outlook, you'll be alright. [/QUOTE]
