[QUOTE="Jstpeachy, post: 4144109, member: 76958"] I’m a female on preload- best thing I can suggest is workout attire. I wear exercise Capri type bottoms paired with a tank top. It’s hot depending on where you live (I’m in the southeast so it’s gross all hours of day here) Non slip shoes are required. I opt for steel toe work shoes based on preference but steel toe isn’t required. We are allowed to bring in a bag (I use a small backpack kind of like the purse type ones) but that may vary based on your building. Bring water- a refillable bottle is good. Hydration is important. I also bring Bluetooth headphones to play music on my phone but that may or may not be allowed where you work idk. The beginning sucks. Boxes can be heavy. Tires and oversized stuff comes down the belt so be prepared- if it’s over 70 lbs ask for help if you need to. Training is minimal at best usually so ask other loaders or drivers for tips and stuff. Don’t expect to be great your first day, do your best and seek feedback mostly from peers instead of supervisors on loading because the sups don’t seem to care about the day the driver will have based on how you load. Good luck! Ive been here about 3 months, lost 28 lbs so far lol and gained some muscle. It’s hard but not impossible. [/QUOTE]
