[QUOTE="RetroDesu, post: 2140720, member: 62595"] Hey guys first post here, and I need some help. So I have been preloading at UPS for about two weeks now. Frankly I'm sucking at it, and at this rate I'm probably not going to make probation. I'm doing slide to car, and the route I'm doing has a lot of bulk that chokes the belt, and I get backed up fast. It seems for every three packages I load. I have 10 more coming down the slide. Not only that, but the huge bulk pieces on the belt below forces me to stop and secure the belt in order to get really big bulk pieces. (Like ladders and other nonsense.) I would like to keep my job, but my supervisor is on my ass constantly, and it is very frustrating because I'm not waking up at 3 in the morning to do a half ass job, but at the same time I get overwhelmed once the volume keeps coming in. It is like I can never catch up, and I end up getting sent home early. (Which is infuriating.) So how do I get better(faster?) at this area. My supervisor always yells at me saying "Use the methods I taught you!" (Such as separating at the slide and optimum carries etc.) However, I find it pretty hard to separate when there are so many packages coming down eventually separating goes out the window, and I'm forced to move whatever package I can just to unchoke the belt. Then most of the packages are too heavy to take more than once so that slows me down as well. Honestly I can work on my speed getting in and out of the car. That I admit can be faster, but other than that I just don't know how I can fix the above problems in order to increase my efficiency. I wish I could have started off on 1-2 trucks, but since day one I have done nothing less than 3-4 trucks, or 3 trucks and 1 trailer. So any feedback? [/QUOTE]
