[QUOTE="Why???, post: 4480028, member: 80473"] I have done preload for 12 years and twilight a few times. 1. Preload is loading the package cars for delivery. It starts early in the morning between 3-5 am most places. People hate it because you are loading 3 or 4 cars with 1,000 or so pieces between them for about 4 or 5 hours. You have to place these packages on a certain spot on the floor or shelf and they are suppose to all magically fit in these locations. These packages vary from evelopes to 150 lb or greater couches, tables, ect.. 2. Preload is guaranteed a 3 and 1/2 hour shift minnimum at pretty much a set time. Twilight or local sort as we call it has no minnimum time guaranteed and no real set schedule. Local sort unloads the pickups from the day and puts the packages in trailers to go to the hubs. This can be very hard work if you are loading a trailer or unloading heavy pickups. It can also be very easy if just unloading pickups from residential areas. Plus you are not making objects fit into their magical spots in cars just taking them out of the car. 3. Yes, you can add people with insurance to your plan at least where I am. 4. Package handler is harder in that you have to make the impossible possible sometimes. However the benefits are great if you have the vision to see that far ahead. Summer is coming so if you get in the door now you will be needed greatly in most centers as a ton of people are on vacation soon. So in summary twilight or local sort is pretty much a benefit gig in my opinion. Preload is more of a benefits money combo as you will get more hours. [/QUOTE]
