[QUOTE="Homoudont, post: 353258, member: 11304"] I've been on the sort about 6 weeks.. but the weather just started to get hot . I've worked much harder on the preload but of course the weather was ideal. I've noticed I've become more tolerant of the weather then when I first started, so I am hoping that this is just my body adjusting to the weather. Also since I am the only unloader, I can unload just a little faster and shut the whole sort down and take a breather. Which I like to do often because I need my breaks. I haven't gotten to the point where I'm about to have a heat stroke, but I do get tired near the end. At which point I am usually well ahead of schedule so I take my time. Our last scan needs to be done at 8:30.. and I am can be done unloading around 7:55 if I feel good and the weather is 90 degrees all day. So when it gets really hot, I usually get the unload down closer to 8:20 -8:30. I'm not really worried about last scan because small sort is almost never done before me anyway. I'll keep drinking the liquids and try to keep cool.. but I just don't know how you UPSers do it in Key West, Miami, Dallas, Arizona etc... I love the warm weather to vacation, but to work it UGHHH..
