[QUOTE="..., post: 4625766, member: 79151"] What [USER=76343]@Yeet[/USER] said with a few more comments. As mentioned, try putting them to the side. But if they're creating egress issues, just load them. Right next to one of the sides of the trailer tends to be best if it's down low. It's pretty good, but I don't know how they're measuring it in your building. I was a pretty good loader with combination of good quality and average to above average speed...But I was almost always in the 250-270 range. I've only broken 300 a handful of times, and 400 once. 5-6 packages per minute is what my sup always told me, but it's way over simplified. When you're loading a trailer you're probably doing closer to 20 pieces per minute, however, your average tends to evaporate when you're breaking jams, moving to other trailers, and tossing up irregs. Don't worry about it. Unless you're under 200, they're not gonna complain. If you haven't experienced it yet, you're not going to. This is something that effects people that are either out of shape or not accustomed you physical work. I always wore a plain white t shirt because they're cheap. I tucked them in to avoid getting caught on stray pieces of equipment. That always worked for me. Whether or not to wear gloves is up to you. I don't wear them as an air driver, but anytime I am asked to help local sort I do. [/QUOTE]
