[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1038928, member: 43119"] [I]PreloadNub[/I], I have been working preload for a bit over a year. When I started, I had lots of misloads. I had days with as many as ~7. I was also very slow. Misloads... slow... I'm surprised [I]I[/I] wasn't fired. I think what saved me is that my load quality was decent right off the bat. You might say misloads = bad quality, but I'm talking about the placement of packages. My drivers liked me pretty quickly. Also, management saw and acknowledged that I really was trying. I wasn't being lazy. Maybe that helped as well. If you have the opportunity (if time allows) to driver help, I suggest you do it this peak season. I don't know if you have any issues with load quality, but as ok as I was early on, helping deliver packages helped me to learn the best way to load them. A year+ later, today, I had what I would consider one of my top three best loads ever. It was absolutely beautiful. I wish the driver didn't have to take the truck. I would have liked them to leave it there for me to look at every morning. While most people who work preload do not like their job, I do "look forward" to coming in every morning. It's a physically demanding job. Most people are not like you. They don't run marathons, and most don't go to a gym. I was in absolutely horrific shape when I started. I was sore for many months. Sore, everywhere. Now, it's nothing. I only ever have a sore back, and it's mild. So yes, for you it may not be hard physically. It will be all about getting used to thinking quickly. If you aren't fired and you do not quit, you [I]will [/I]get used to it. Everyone does. [/QUOTE]
