[QUOTE="big_arrow_up, post: 52785"] Its difficult to explain since I don't know what type of building you are in. Preload is almost the same no matter where you are. I'll use my small center as the example. The preload has one unloader that unloads the trailers. He/she doesn't get an extra dollar. The rest of the people grab the packages off the belt that have been unloaded and load them on to the package cars. They get the extra dollar. There is probably a clerk on the shift too. Our night shift is called reload. It's 5:00 to roughly 9:45. The shift is pretty much the exact opposite of preload. We have two people that sort packages for the extra dollar. One sorts the packages on the belt and the other sorts the smalls. Where you are might be bigger or smaller so it might be different but in general it wont be too different. Which shift people choose depends on what the rest of their day conisists of. School or another job. I've worked preload many times and I didn't like my alarm clock going off at 3am to go to work so I stuck with working nights. If it's all about the dollar for you than I'd find out which shift you'll most likely be able to get to that dollar the quickest. Most importantly make sure that the dollar isnt going away any time soon due to "technilogical change". It's happening all over. [/QUOTE]
