[QUOTE="NY11725, post: 616147, member: 25721"] Hey guys, just registered because I saw 700 PPH's post regarding pick off.... I am currently emplyed at the Deerfield beach warehouse in south florida. I have been a loader for 1 yr & 6 months, I as well fell in love with pick off after filling in for someone one day up there. It's by far probably one of the best positions you can obtain being a regular part time hourly employee....the extra dollar raise is also a nice part of getting pick upp...wait u get a dollar? yes u do..pick off is considered a skilled position because you have to know multiple trailer's sorts to be able to hold the position or in other words, you need to know the sort for your whole belt. Well, anyway I am not sure how the sections work in ur building but mine there is PD-1 PD-2, PD-3 and PD-4....I started at PD-2 where I filled in for the pick off maybe like 3 times. I then got moved to PD-1 which is a heavier belt with a lot more boxes...aloooot more.... Recently I found out that one of the pick off is transferring to maine for school, and they allowed him to xfer to a maine building because he was in school...so I skipped my supervisor completly and went to the manager, and told him I am interested in the postion that is opening up soon, he had me write a short letter stating why I want the positon and why I thin I would be good....so I did...he sent it in.....I had 2 ppl before me with seniority, so I was a little upset because I happened to be there longer then both of them but they were on PD-1 before me which gives me more seniority on that belt... ( if that makes sense )....turns out a week before this guy transfered, the 1st backup guy got promoted to supsevisor O.o...and the next guy didnt want to do it becuase he is sometimes usually late due to his other job....so I guess since hes late, and I actually " wanted " to do it.....I got promoted to pick-off starting yesterday 10-12-09. I am a happy camper, I now make $11.50....so i went from 8.50 to 11.50 in a year and a half...weeeee So if you are interested in picking off 700 PPH first off....if your a loader...on ur belt...stay there....dont change to unload or small sort...just load...bite the bullet...and just....load....hey 700 PHH..we need you to do these eregs.....DO IT....just bite the bullet and do w/e they want....stay on ur belt...eventually...u will be the person loading who has been loading in ur area for the longest which gives you seniority...find out who is back up pick off on ur belt....how many pick off do you have on ur belt? My belt has 2...me and another guy...some only require one...depending on the volume....find out who is back up....if no one requested back up...ask for it...take the sort test..pass it...you will get the dollar raise even for just being a back up...then ur garenteed to go up everytime if one of them or the person takes off....it always garentees you the position if for any reason the person quits..gets fired, or xfers...ur already back up so your automatically the next person to go up.... keep ur mind set to it....I thought i would NEVER get to be pick off...just too rare of a position to obtain easily....but dreams do come true man...they really do....once ur up there ur set.....they cant tell u to come down and load..because ur the most skilled on ur belt which is why ur up there in the first place.....good luck man.... MikeTbob you said " Even the pickoffs in my area hated being a pickoff person " thats is crazy man...its just insane that somoene would hate doing pick off...just boggles my mind :) [/QUOTE]
