[QUOTE="Dirk Balloon, post: 915525, member: 37991"] I would attribute the pain to Being out of shape Bad shoes Age Weight On a slightly different note. Im 20 years old and have been pre loading for a couple months. Being a driver helper would be even easier for me. I am already used to working on my feet 6 - 10 hours a day at my previous job. I had read a little bit online about package handling before I applied to UPS. Its ironic how the job turned out to be. People online were saying that you didnt have to actually be able to lift 70+ lbs. YEAH RIGHT! I consistently have to lift 40+ lb boxes. And I am pulling things 70+ lbs off the bottom belt often. I can typically lift anything below 110 lbs without help. Asking for help every time for something over 70 would be ridiculous. People were saying that pre loading is a very difficult job. Not really. The drivers seem like the ones with tough work. Trying to beat the clock delivering packages, getting yelled at, working long hours outside. Most of all, I only had to move 70lbs from the slide to the truck. How many feet did the driver have to move it when delivering? [/QUOTE]
