[QUOTE="ducky13swing, post: 109181, member: 6028"] Don't worry about your PPH, that will come. Keep showing up for work on time every day, you will not be fired for your PPH not being up to par. A good unload rate is 1000 to 1500 PPH. If you get to that level, you should be fine with no problems. As for P/T Supervisor, it is a lot of stress. Finish your senior year before you attempt P/T Supervision. You do not need the additional stress. Also, if you go from Unloader to Supervisor, you are limiting yourself as to the knowledge you have. After you get through your first 30 days, you could ask to go to the load area, irregs, PSC (based on what I saw when I was there, they could always use help in PSC). Work as many jobs as they will let you, that way you can put that on your resume to become supervisor. They like versatile people who have experience in more than one area. It helps you grow with the company. ADVICE for Unloading: I also started in the unload. Never do anything that will cause you or anyone else any harm. Always SAFETY First. You set the pace for the building, so your supervisor will be yelling to get you motivated (not to mention the noise level in the building, they cannot talk and expect you to hear them). Drink plenty of water year round, your body needs it. Wear comfortable clothes, loose but not baggy. No jeans, sweat pants or shorts. Follow the methods, work on getting your rythym, it will suddenly hit you one day and you will be surprised, before you know it, you will be the one new hires come to for advice. Always watch the wall in front of you, the rollers and the belts will not move, the wall will come crashing down on you and hurt you. You will get a feel for where the rollers and belts are, so you wont even have to look at the rollers or belts. If you place the packages squarely on the rollers or belt, you will most likely not jam up. Do NOT throw packages, you could be fired for this. IF A PACKAGE IS FALLING, DO NOT TRY TO CATCH IT. I have seen so many people get hurt while trying to catch a falling package. The contents can be replaced your health cannot. When you are within the last 5 to 10 minutes of the each feeder, be ready to brace yourself. A shifter will be hooking up to pull it off the wall, and they don't know what is happening on the inside of the feeder, be ready. Over 70s, if you cannot handle an over 70 package, get help, do not be a hero, if you cannot get help, leave it alone. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
