[QUOTE="mathematics, post: 245375, member: 10356"] I'm a p/t supervisor at the Island City 1119 HUb in NYC. You are working the night sort, I see (same as I). You will likely be unloading trailers or loading trailers. In a rare case, you might be sent to the sort aisle, or to small sort. Unloading is a no-brainer. You take packages out of the trailer and place them label up on a conveyor belt until all the packages are off. If you load trailers then you are on the tail end of those conveyor belts loading packages onto empty trailers going to other buildings. What happens is this: the shift before night sort (Twilight) processes packages that come in from customers that are going all over the country. these packages are loaded onto trailers that go to other building's night sorts. the night sort then processes these packages to go to the surrounding local areas to go out for deliveries on the shift after the night sort (Preload shift). For instance, in my hub in NYC, we get trailers from twilight sorts around the country. We then sort out all the mixed work for the area that is going to manhattan, the bronx, brooklyn, staten island, and long island. we then send this work out on trailers to preload sorts in manhattan buildings, long island buildings, the brooklyn building, etc. the preload sort is the sort that loads the packages onto the brown package cars we all know and love, stopping at our homes with the latest toys we order online HAHA. hope this clears up what goes on at the night sort. bring something that will hold a LOT of water. it gets very hot inside of the building and even hotter inside the trailers.
