[QUOTE="brownrodster, post: 619296, member: 10437"] As an unloader you unload trailers. You grab a box with average weight of 35 pounds and put it on a conveyor belt. repeat several thousand times then go home. As a loader you would grab a box off a conveyer and put it in a brown truck. Would probably load 3-4 trucks with about 800-1200 packages you have to load. The hours aren't what they say. 3:30-830 is an aproximation. One day you might work until 9AM. The next day you might get off work at 8AM. One week you might start at 3AM or as early as 1AM. And you have to stay until the work is done. If you need to get home to your children your supervisors won't care. What kind of physical condition are you in? Do you lift weights or jog? How many flights of stairs could you walk up while wearing a backpack with 35 pounds in it before you would need a rest? If it's only 1 or 2 you are in for a huge surprise. The olympic race walking team could find some talent within the UPS driver ranks. This is an extremely physically demanding job. You might want to start working out before you become a UPS employee.
