[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 455227, member: 12570"] Steve makes an excellent point. As an off-the-street hire, I never worked the preload, which would have given me a deeper appreciation for the work that they do, often with little or no recognition and for a far smaller wage. On the flip side, we had a couple of preloaders who were seasonal drivers this peak and one in particular used to hold the opinion that all we did was drive around and cash our big paychecks. It took him all of 2 days to rethink that. I don't know that I would want to work the preload at this point in my career, not even for a day, because, quite frankly, at 47, I don't think I could keep up with the pace and perform the job in the manner that I ask of myself. Plus, I used to coach the preload sup in baseball when he was a kid and he still calls me Mr., so the thought of taking direction from him just doesn't seem right. [/QUOTE]
