[QUOTE="opie, post: 52497"] I thank everybody for their input so far. I am thankful that I got a job because I desperately needed one, the HUB where I am at is hiring like crazy. They already hired about 80 people this year and about 30 quit. They are hiring now for peak season and replacing those who quit or got promoted. I can lift 70lbs, but not over my head. I only weigh about 120-130lbs. I am really not at UPS for the benefits. But, I need money for myself and for school. And only the Early AM shift in my HUB offers $1 more per hour and tuition reimursement. Though I have to wait 6 months for get money for school. So, I'm probably going to have to talk with the Human Resources Manager and ask if I can be placed in the Early AM shift sometime in the future. All the women at my HUB are either at unloading or sorting. But, they don't do the unloading. In the loading it's all guys. I am a little nervous. I just hope I get trained properly. I want to learn how to unload/load all those different kinds of "feeders". And know all the procedures etc. I will probably be loading, but I guess I'll find out today or tomorrow. So far, it's been okay because it's been all videos and spent some time breaking jams. I have heard horror stories, but is it really that bad?
