[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 419318, member: 5938"] OK, that explains the death. Unfortunately, this young man must have worked at too fast a pace long after his body told him to slow down. There's much competition and testosterone at UPS. People ignore the signs of fatigue in order to prove themselves. Don't cave in to that BS. Two thousand per hour is absurd. UPS pulls numbers out of their rears and says you must make them. They are often near impossible so just work at a safe, steady pace. Do try and follow the methods they teach you - many of those can be helpful. The safety information they'll feed you doesn't quite jibe with the real life work they expect you to do. Learn to balance that while always making sure you're safe. If too warm, stop and take a sip of water or gatorade. Slow down if necessary. In cold weather wear layers - t shirt plus a hoodie is good because you can peel it off when too warm. Yep, those trailers are cold but your constant activity will help keep you warm. Wear gloves year 'round. [/QUOTE]
