[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1126243, member: 28388"] First, the things you're being asked to do, sorting in the sort aisle, working in small sort, etc are desirable tasks for a package handler. Most people are stuck on loading or unloading for years before they get to move on to something else. As for "pacing" yourself, being a new employee, if you wish to make it through your trial period you need to hustle. Reaching across a belt if you're doing it the way you're shown won't injure you. If you're trying to move a heavy package that is going by on a belt at your waist level, don't lift it from far away--slide it to you before lifting so you can work in your power zone. When you try to reach away and lift something they call it an end range motion which will eventually injure you. Some things that hurt a little now are because you're using muscles you haven't developed but as someone else said, that will get better as you strengthen those muscles. Advil used sparingly can help get you through the first few weeks you're getting used to it. [/QUOTE]
