[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1380002"] Same here. Went from 20 hour workweeks to 35+ through December last year, barely slowing down into January. Don't remember the volume the year before that, though, I was 3 months in and dog-tired through my entire first peak, and loading four trucks outside in winter weather that the conveyor belts didn't reach, so they had about 40-50ft worth of metal rollers jutting outside the building to a row of about 10 trucks, lol. The job's easy once you've loaded outside in the middle of heavy snow or rain with temps at a max of like 40 degrees, a minimum of about 5 degrees from November to February. That BS [B]SUCKED[/B]. And those little temporary roof/tent things they prop up out there? You learn real fast that those are meant to keep the packages from getting wet, not you. :censored:in' BS is what it was... good luck on your first peak, though. Hopefully you'll have enough time in to not be thrown into the absolute most :censored:ty positions your center/hub has to offer by the time Christmas rolls around. [/QUOTE]
