[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 2246235, member: 42691"] Only a street hire couldn't appreciate a preloader. Granted, most of the preloaders were garbage when I left package car, but that is on management, not the loader. Training is practically nonexistent. They throw them to the wolves and expect miracles. I preloaded for six years when you could use your brain, and I was a good loader because of it. Now they take all of the brain work out of it, and they get predictable results. It's all a numbers game. It's funny, but when I preloaded, the drivers who complained the most, were the ones who never worked part-time. That is not a coincidence. I have never had time or patience with drivers who treated their loaders like :censored:. Preloading is a tough job, no matter what the street hires think. Preloading is what gave me the real lowdown of how UPS runs their operation. I used to bust ass to clear my cages, but per usual, low staffing took its toll, and they would drag off my pull to help on the slide sort. But the good news was they only did it long enough to stuff my cages again with less than an hour before the drivers started. But I learned and adjusted, and my drivers went ballistic on their supervisors because their trucks weren't loaded until waaay after their start time. They had my back. Sounds like that is s thing of the past. [/QUOTE]
