The best time to do it is up to you.....1 lb to 150 lbs.....Anything over 70 youre required help with

both would vary greatly at location BTW even on the easy shifts its not a lazy job so dont go in thinking its going to be cake

The average is probably only 20-25 pounds, but you will get bad stretches where it seems like everything is 50+.

Good luck.

Nothing is easy.
You will work your butt off.

I'm starting to think ATATBL is on to something here... Seems like 16 is just a magic number for UPS, especially when people ask subjective questions.

When I interviewed as part of a group, we were told the average package is about 8lbs. The problem is you never get an average package. Most air is under a pound and everything else is 16+.
Also, no easy shifts, although the overnight here gets away with a lot more because good help for that shift is hard to find. I chose preload because the hours worked for me. It also turns out to be one of the coolest shifts, temperature wise.

For my hub we only have two shifts. Night shift is the easiest but they get the least hours. Pre-Load is hard, but it has the best workers and best people, sups and hour-lies.
