[QUOTE="8Keys, post: 1181282, member: 48236"] I think you are describing a pick off position. Could be a completely different building layout, and I don't really know how things flow during the preload, but this sounds a lot like pick off and absolutely nothing like our sort aisle. To me the summary of a sorter is, every time an unloader lifts a box to his waist, you are to read a label and lift a box to your head. If you can't keep up they wonder why. If you can keep up they might give you two unloaders. But the very good thing about sorting is, you don't have to bend down very often. And for a new hire the extra dollar is significant. Lots of good advice here though. The main thing with any UPS job is, come in with a good attitude and effort but don't get frustrated by falling behind. No matter what happens, you will fall behind. Management can't stand to see anyone caught up with nothing to do, so it's chaos by design. Work hard but use proper mechanics and keep your health as a high priority. Hold up the unloader sooner rather than later so less stuff falls on the floor. I would stick with sorting unless you are too short to do the job safely. They will push you no matter which job you have. [/QUOTE]
