It seems like you might be putting a little too much time into making the truck neat at the cost of ensuring accurate loads (I did the same thing at first). As long as you have the loads on the correct shelf in relative order, the driver is going to find it. I would suggest putting a bit more time into ensuring accurate loads and not worry as much about how good the truck looks. The driver organizes the truck as he/she makes deliveries throughout the day, so putting too much time into a really good looking load is a waste of time for you. Slow down and get your misloads under control and then focus for the superb standard of neatness. Furthermore, if you feel you've had to make a significant compromise in organization, just give the driver a concise rundown of any irregularities in load. Communication with your driver (whether face to face or through marking the boxes) can go a long way for less than ideal looking loads.
If it makes you feel better, when I first started loading I had like 33 misloads at first. And if that's not bad enough, the full time sup told me they were going to keep me there because I was relatively accurate and had neat/sturdy loads compared to other guys in the building. Yeah... However, over time I eventually got to the point where I didn't have misloads anymore. Months later I ended up driver helping for the driver who had my 33 misloads, when he confirmed the pen number he was parked at, I realized it was the truck I loaded. I told him it was me and that I was new to the position at the time and apologized. He was cool about it (probably since he had a few months to cool off) and told me he respected me owning up to it. So just take it one box at a time and try not to get overwhelmed. It sounds like you're a good employee with a good attitude so just keep trying to do better, most sups will recognize that even if they chew you out.
If he can't. do preload,he can alays take a part-time Sup job. 
Look. UPS isn't all that for you to be so apprehensive over. If it wasnt for circumstances, I wouldnt be here at UPS. There are way better jobs out there that isn't a requirement for you to break your back, breathe in nasty diesel gas, freeze in the winter, bake in the summer, get a 10 minute break then rush back to work. UPS is nothing but modern day slavery. The only reason why I'm here is to keep my options wide open while until I finish college and get a career.

Modern day slavery? Overly dramatic much?
Yeah, like mixing pickups with send agains, chaining the handtruck around pickups, leaving airs in the truck - mixed with grounds. leaving the handtruck in the middle of the truck, dumping pickups on the floor while there is plenty of space on the shelf. Some drivers can be complete retards and/or lazy bums.
I'm basing that off of all the places that ive ever worked at; UPS is the worst, by far. But I don't know about you, because you have it easy, lol.

I was in your shoes. You and I were hired around the same time this year, only difference, They hired me as part time not seasonal. I started out loading and busting my tail doing so, without failing to bag a few misloads or two, until one day they shipped me to primary.....blessing in disguise......It was love at first sight. Ask to be traded my friend.............you won't regret it
Poor, sweet baby. Boo-freaking-hoo.

If misloads cost UPS so much money, you would think they would actually worry about producing pal labels that you can actually read.
The new inkjet labels are a joke. And, the old ones aren't worth a darn if the printers aren't working correctly - which seems to be more often than not.
BTW, the record in our hub was ~30 misloads in one day. And, my personal best was 8.

If misloads were such a problem preload would allow the loaders the time it takes to load the cars correctly. Instead just throw the boxes into the truck and get off the clock and let the PT sups finish up.

Modern slavery? Glad your life's a successful one and your fortunate enough to come from a family and a background to be able to afford to go to college, goood for you but I on the other hand appreciate my job, I'm thankful to be able to go do manual labor and I enjoy doing it, UPS can be a career, I don't know about you but from my neck of the woods $100,00 annually is a goood pay.

Excuse me...I didn't refer to my job as modern day slavery...the poster above my post did (see post #48)...and I was calling him a dramatic little girl. Feel
