[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 955657, member: 16334"] The box line is a beast of a machine that consumes most people it encounters. Its out-dated, simplistic yet unforgiving. In todays terms, its cruel practice by a buisness that doesnt give a damn anyways. The ones who master it, fully, are known as " Master loaders ". I've seen full time drivers that get pulled in to do a few weeks/ months preloading on the boxline that straight up quit, and quickly. Are you in a middle cage, bottom or top? At the start of the charge slide or on the other side of it? Not that it matters, what color are you and what colors do they have?... just curious. Can you and / or are you allowed to stack out? Such as trays or grates behind your cars? Do they have lights for signals? Are your three cars bulk or resis? If you need help, call on your soup to get you help. They are they to get you help when its / or when its needed. Its part of their job, not to help you themselves, but to make sure everyone gets done around the same time. The problem with this, is a slow/ burdened or overwhelmed worker often calls upon other workers ahead of their work. We ( peloaders on the boxline ) will walk a very far distance before all is said and done. Thus we hold down the fort on our given task, yet only to be wisked away at a moments notice to help someone who even might have 200-500 packages less then we do. Its a load of... well you know.
