[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1291119, member: 50088"] Now as for the OP's post, it's all well and good but easier said than done. In the sense that you may end up looking pretty bad. Lots of guys don't care I guess, but many of us do. If you are an hour+ paid over everyday, then it may appear that you're either a slacker or you can't handle the job. I find that UPS has these set of job methods we are to follow but if we actually followed them all by the book, the day would never end. They say they want us to work by the methods, but at the same time, I think they hope we don't take them all too literally, because production would be killed. That's why I highly doubt camera's will ever be implemented into the package cars because it would destroy production and end all the shortcuts required to do the job in a reasonable time. I'm not saying I or we work unsafely, but to take all the literature so literally would be silly in many respects. Imagine if you lifted every package, including those under 5 lbs, in the manner that you illustrate to a sup while doing your DOK's? Doing all 8 keys slowly and precisely. Do that for each of the 300 pieces you move each day. That's 2 hours paid over right there. Now factor in every other method and do them all slowly as written. That will be one hell of a day. My pride in myself unfortunately keeps me from looking like a loser. I refuse to be a runner gunner, but I like to come close to scratch. "Average" is fine by me, but I don't want to be that guy that can't do the job. [/QUOTE]
