The only numbers I worry about are the ones on my pay check each week.

I know people are going to disagree and get mad when I say this, but this is the most idiotic post I have read on here. It is not in the best interest to work as slow as possible without getting in trouble that is border-line sabotage. You work at an adequate pace and the pace that UPS has established is not rigorous, I mean come on 240 pph. That breaks down to 4 boxes a minute or one every 15 seconds. As a supervisor it is employees that go out of their way to work slow that piss everyone off (not related to drivers, have no idea how your side works). And when an employee factors in benefits you are receiving quite a decent compensation package, so to say you don't make that much money is stupid. Personally, I really hate people who come to work and don't want to put in a decent effort and I am not saying you have to load 400 pph but to say to go as slow as possible without getting in trouble makes you look like a real winner.
Rallyguy , I have loaded & unload feeders , air cans , and PC's .
I have operated just about every vehicle UPS has used in the last 30 yrs. { many which are no longer in service }. I have worked twilight, midnight, and preload in several different buildings .
And you ask such a strange question , let me give you some advice , come back and start this thread again after you have walked in my shoes .
Do you know how Production is calculated?
Its a simple formula. Take last quarters production and add a percentage gain to that. Its up to the district manger how he/she wants each division to perform. But all divisions must roll up to that district number. Then all the buildings in a division have to roll up to that division number. Then all sorts to that building number.
This number keeps going up.
Working super hard only makes work harder next year. The production requirement is never going to go down. They are not going to ask for 128 this year and 125 next. As a loader it is in your best interest to work slower and a lower overall PPH number = more employees or more hours.
Note: I was never a loader/Unloader. I was in management as a ft sup. I left about 6 months ago
Loading 300pph is easy for me but I have been here awhile its not for every one. I normally load 350 or so but that first hour I recently been hitting 500 just to see how high I can get ups loading has to be a personal challenge most people I have found have no competitive drive
Same thing I tell people. But I tell them to take 6 decks of cards, throw them all over the back seat in no order, when you get out hunt for a specific card. repeat 150 to 200 times a day.I can't speak for loaders and unloaders. People ask me all the time, as a driver, how hard is it. All I say is, get in and out of your car 150 times a day. When that is doable, start adding boxes to that.
It's really really hard.
That is beyond being a redneck.

I work at a pace i feel my body can maintain for the next 25-30 years. You keep smokin it man they will do everything they can to let u go as soon as you get hurt and are a liability.
can you name a company that would keep you on the payroll if you cannot do the job?
Alex, wouldn't that be the UAW?

Part of the auto bailout was the elimination of the job bank.
