[QUOTE="VTBrown, post: 248590, member: 11076"] Ok here we go again. 1st. I worked UPS PreLoad 10 years ago in a feeder and loading. 1A. Was a Saturday Air Driver as well. 2nd. I was a Full-Time FedEx Express Cover Driver for almost 4 years. 2A - AM and PM Sort Coordinator 2B - Saturday Coordinator 3C - Aspire participant 4D - Won the North East Humanitarian Award 5E - Spill Clean UP and HazMat Specialist 3rd. I worked as a Seasonal Temp for UPS and was hired on Cover afterwards. 3A - Sales Lead Committee Since I needed to defend my past and now you know. I've a very good idea of our industry. YES even us drivers are over paid dirty manual laborers. I've said that in another post. So you guys trying to use that against me is pretty stupid. The point of the matter IS: The bottom feeder job of PreLoad and Local Sort is considered a stepping stone by UPS. Your thought to be there because of the benefits or the opportunity to go full-time in either management or package. If you DON'T need the benefits and DON'T want to go full-time then I'm sorry you are pretty stupid for complaining about trying to make ends meet for your family. Especially when you factor in most centers have only 3.5hrs available and you have Union Dues. Another thing I've read is complaining about union dues....you Part-timers pay the same rate as us Full-timers. It's all relative. Prior to PAS we as Drivers had to sort our cars much more then we do now as most of you just threw the packages in the correct section (we hoped). Once in awhile you found a PreLoader that actually cared but they were few and far between. With PAS I hardly ever get a bad load and it's usually do to an Add/Cut done late. Most are pretty damn in sequence too. So I'm guessing that looking at a truck number and then number sequence is easier to load by. Going by my center no one is loading anymore cars then they did prior to PAS. As I said before somewhere....We both do easy jobs mine and the part-timers. We as drivers are over-paid as are the 22.3, Air drivers and feeder guys for what we do. We are dirty manual laborers.If I was looking to make ends meet for my family, Part-time UPS work would be pretty stupid unless I was looking to the future....then at that point you make sacrifices.
