[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 959662, member: 18708"] For many reasons. First, the hours. Waking up at 3am (or midnight as I had to do FT) is not easy for many people, and was virtually impossible for me. Second, the type of work. There is more pressure on the preload than any other part of operations, as those brown trucks have to get out by whatever time the higher ups dictate. Those two combinations means that many people are just flat out miserable. There are always nice people at UPS, but the % of misery always seemed higher on the preload. haha There are other reasons, but those are two main ones. Turnover is, in my experience, always highest on the preload, therefore they are always the first shift to be hiring and last to keep people working. Also, injuries are always highest. Those who work hours that cut into the natural sleep rhythms (2-5am is the peak natural sleep time for body), will suffer the greatest as far as sleep problems, health risks, and overall injuries.
