[QUOTE="Random_Facts, post: 869283, member: 30383"] I've been a loader for almost 5 years now. (wait did I just type that in correctly!?!?!). Everyone has an 'off' day. But I agree with what most drivers have said on this post. Some loaders have it easier than other loaders. I know there are people in our building who get 3 trucks, and load anywhere from 400-600 boxes every single day. (how lucky is that?). Me on the other hand, I got the 4 trucks in the back, pulling 1100 boxes on average. (Anything under 1100 is a great day!). Those don't come around a lot though. Communication is a big thing for sure. My drivers, are really understanding. Which helps for sure. Having a driver who was a loader in the past, also helps. He knows what I'm going through. As far as the late air thing goes. What works for me is to grab a few of those brown totes in the beginning of the day. Grab 3-4 of them. Place them under the belt. Then when your air letters come on down, you just place them in there. Everyone is happy at the end of the day, and it works out the best in my opinion. Last but not least, if you're a driver who has never loaded before, be a little wary when you complain or go bananas. As your load the following day, might be a tornado touch down. Not saying to bribe your loader. But just remember a little..."hey", "How's it going", "how's life?" can make the biggest difference. we're human too! [/QUOTE]
