[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 268537, member: 12912"] [b]The best tips for preload:[/b] - Don't break yourself. As my friend and Local President says "you set the bar". Play stupid, the less you do, the better off you'll be - get friendly with the guys/gals around you. Make jokes, esp about supervisors - if you're going to sit down, do it inside the car where management can't see you ;) - if you get backed up or completely destroyed aka "blown out", just start stacking the stuff in front of your trucks and remove any path you have into the vehicle/vehicles. if the supervisor has any brains and motive to make his bonus, he'll get you help. If you start moving quickly or even "running", you're definitly working too hard. Take a break for safteys sake! [b]The best tips for unload:[/b] - Don't knock walls down if you have someone in the trailer with you.

When management tells you to "get going" "hurry up" "is that the best you can do", slow down a bit more.
