[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1113786"] I thought all this was standard operating procedure at UPS? Happens every day at my center, man. The trucks on my belt start maybe 20 feet from the sort aisle so I have a birdseye view all day. Sometimes my voice grows hoarse yelling "JAM ON YELLOW" because they're working so fast they don't place the bigger, more irregular packages on the belt in a way to ensure smooth flow. Truthfully? I thought they were just stupid or didn't give a friend*, but after reading through this thread I'm thinking it might be a problem of unloaders actively trying to work faster than the sorters. Hmm. Food for thought, I guess. I worked the sort aisle once. I felt like I kept up with the regular guys there, but after about 3 hours I found myself unable to lift anything heavier than 50lbs onto the overhead Blue and White belts. I was trying, I just lost all muscle endurance. My arms were jelly, man. So I've always respected the physicality of an unloader and sorter's job, but I truthfully haven't considered them the brightest of the bunch on the preload. I'm happy that this thread has me reevaluating that opinion. [/QUOTE]
