[QUOTE="BootsOnTarmac, post: 2330244, member: 63054"] I believe a new hire should work the sort: loading and offloading cans / trucks for at least 3 months. Regardless if they have been hired as a handler, material handler or a courier. This will weed out the poor souls who don't know what this job is about. No high School education will prepare you for this job, just a good work ethic that comes from within and most likely from your parents. Even though FedEx Express no longer requires High School / GED for handlers, I have seen many that excel at their job. My fedex wish is for those without a GED will be helped by FedEx to obtain that goal and move up. I have seen Material Handlers hired off the street, expected to operate a 50000 pound K-Loader mating to a 50 million dollar aircraft within a month or 2 of being hired. I doubt UPS or even DHL would do that in the first year. [/QUOTE]
