Hi
Iv been working as a unloader for 2 months with my full-time second shift job and it has been really hard. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to handle it better. I really like the work and the extra money is great so I'm willing to try anything. Thank you

When I work the pre-load I also work a ft job that was 4 10 hours days (3:00 pm till 1:00 am). Life isn't easy and if you want to get ahead it just gets harder...

How to handle it? My advice to you is simply understand that people may think or act like they are something else inside those four walls, but once we step outside we are all the same. Take nothing personal. Stay away from gossip. Do your job.

Bust your ass and make it to seniority. Once you join the Union, follow the methods, work safely and go at your own pace.

If they try and speed you up, tell them that nowhere in the contract does it state any requirements on PPH in the unload.

Start doing back, leg, and arm exercises. Start stretching too. You might be young now, but once your back goes, it may not come back.

Yep just as I thought. Sleep 11:10pm til 4:00am if possible, then between 9:00am til 2:40 get some sleep, then on the weekends SLEEP. You're gonna be just fine. zagfan's advice was good to.

Dont do it, stay where your at. At least this way you only have to take the screwing in one end, I mean from one side.
