[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 424608, member: 18708"] As far as building walls ( the actual point of the thread) There's a few schools of thought, in my experience the following works best. Waste as little energy as possible. Knowledge of general physics ( something you won't see much of working at UPS lol) is very important in being able to do your job, work safely and effectively and MOSt importantly not breaking down. This is #1. Don't run around and make sudden, jarring movements, and try to look like you're working your butt off to impress anyone. This is one thing I find funny, especially with the rookies. The goal is to make it look easy and use the least amount of movements and motions to complete the task. Much like a martial artist (one inch punch?) , or a drummer, or anything physical that utilizes "less for more", the same idea applies. Heavy boxes on bottom, light on top. Use a loadstand, always. Unless you are 7 foot something. Do not just throw 60 pounders up and hope they settle properly, they won't. =) Build a primary and secondary wall. Primary should be the sturdiest, secondary is ( as you may know ) for the lighter fare. Don't worry about "keeping up with the flow". Knock packages off your belt system if they are clumsy and awkward. Don't spend 15 seconds trying to finagle a package that just won't "go". They will still be there when you build forward, I promise. Chances are you have a hi-value person in your building, possibly delivering those packages to your load. Hopefully she's a gal, and attractive. If so, Talk nicely to her and smile. You will feel alot better about what you are doing when a nice looking woman smiles at you. Ok mind wandering...have fun , be safe, and don't waste any energy! [/QUOTE]
