Let me start by saying that I have worked at UPS for about 11 years now . I moved to Preload close to 2 years ago after trying to get on for about 5 years and finally making it . Since I have started having some back pain and was told by my Dr. that I may possibly have a bulging disk . I have not yet had any tests done to determine what the problem is and am scheduled to sometime around the start of the New Year when my Dr. Is back from his vacation . I have had some pain in my back , along with popping when I breath deeply and pain wrapping around my rib cage . I am still working and have not missed any days due to my injury and do not plan to as long as I take it easy and don't injure myself farther .
The Problem I am running into is the time and volume that I am being told I am required to do . I was told to be at work at 4:30 this mourning . I was also told we are required to load 250 packages an hour . My load consists of a college , and shopping center and hospital route that are mostly Dr.'s offices and medical clinics . I also have a overflow Route that is normally used for the shopping center and sometimes is used to add a route in . All of my loads are loaded the old fashioned way by the address , and not by PAL . Most of my packages are heavy and very large and I can not pick up but one at a time . This severely limits how fast I can load and its hard loading 250 - 350 packages an hour . I also have 6 stops that have a early commit time that has to be loaded down the center of the truck , these have to be stacked out and cant be loaded until the end of the day. I get heavy flow at the end of the shift and that causes my cages to fill up on the last Rev . I have told my manager , Full-Time sup and Part time sup about the situation , that no matter what I do , the heavy volume causes me to have to stack out at the end of the shift and I will always finish late , and that when I have 12-1500 packages im going to need help loading them all in time . I have tried training people to help me but no one wants to learn my route . more or less leaving me to load it by myself every night . Not even my sups or manager knows how to load my route .
Im so sick and tired of being fussed at for being the last to leave that im close to just cursing everyone out . All I hear all night is how corporate is fussing about hours and how it takes us so long to load the building wide volume . I have always loved my job , and still do . but Im getting to my boiling point . My question is mainly , what can I do to get help , or make someone understand that with the way my route is loaded I cant do it in the time it takes some mourning's ? And can I get written up for being the last to leave , even though im giving 100 percent ?
Take this for what its worth , A rant , or asking for advice , I just had to say something to someone , because its obvious no one else gives a damn .
