Nah, that's me.
Picking off on the preload shift is pretty damn fun for me, I'd say if you're good at it it's the most fun you can have at UPS. Especially the smalls bags, they're tons of fun. I always try to see how much faster I can sort through mixed bags of smalls.
OMG you worked 4 whole hours. How did you survive?
Good thing we new hires are being paid more
Weak side pick off. Even a frog could do it
Probably the easiest job in the building next to porter. Jump over to strong side on a heavy belt with slow loaders if you really want to have some fun.
Sounds like you have the toughest pickoff in the center.
Speaking of, what exactly is a weak-side pick-off? The only thing I can think of is alt-pick, the guy that flips boxes over so the labels are facing up, which isn't really a permanent position in my hub in the first place. That's not hard at all...
On a typical belt, there are 3 pick offs, 2 on the “H” and one on the “L”. The strong side H gets most of the packages because most of them come down that side of the belt. The weak side H just gets what the strong side can’t get and generally just helps him out. If you have a good strong side pickoff, then weak side does barely anything.
Used to be a dollar raise if you moved to that position from a loader....they did away with that, though.
