[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 572522, member: 22610"] The first week at UPS in any part of the operation seems insane to a newcomer. Don't expect a lot more training. Basically, there are 8 sections on the shelves, overflow, oversize, overweight and haz mats go on the floor, and there are special bulk stops with floor designations. Remember that you need to look at that first number and letter on the PAL label to make sure you get in the right car. Another poster said, you need to not have misloads, that is true. Slow down a little if that is what is needed to be accurate, and your speed will come with familarity. Finally, remember, if you were able to jump in there the first week and load four trucks without any mistakes, they would want to give you five trucks next week. It will all get easier, you will get use to the chaos. Finally, if you desire to become a driver, start volunteering to drive saturday air, morning air, anything that they need, as soon as they will let you. Keep your driving record CLEAN. Never drink and drive. Always work safe, if you aren't careful all of the time, you will get hurt, it's a dangerous place to work. Good luck, and welcome to the ups family. [/QUOTE]
