[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 398230, member: 11476"] Lifer, I don't remeber, did you ever say how long you have been retired? I agree with DS. In my world (and I'm not trying to be a smarta$$) there is no such thing as training. I started as preload in May 05 and all I got was the safety video, a 5 min (if that) orientation on load charts. Then I was thrown to the wolves. For months my docks were a disaster. I loaded my trucks when everyone else was taking their break. We have one belt that has 17 rtes, half on each side of the belt. Let me digress a second. I say 'belt' but when I was preloading we didn't have an automated belt. We had rollers and [U]all[/U] the work was manual labor. I was bounced around from the middle of the belt to the end and then back again, loading three trucks. Of my 3 drivers 2 of them were laid back and didn't make a big deal (generally) about the loads. The 3rd driver was a real bastard to load for but he taught me the most about loading. The lead preloader/splitter was on my side of the belt. He was a bastard to work next to. He knocked me on my :censored: several times by pushing pkgs 'past' me as I was trying to pull mine off the belt. We had more than a few words on the belt. Now we are best of friends and I dearly love getting to bid on his rtes. He knows what he does. He's been doing it for along time. And this doesn't even cover driving. That's a whole different story. Same wolves though.:whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
