[QUOTE="pgraening, post: 52505"] Whoa. Sounds like you have a ton of issues there. I'll try to help you out - I started at UPS, working the hub as an unloader, about two months ago. I could barely lift anything over 60 pounds or so. Don't GIVE UP! You will get stronger and better as you stay with the job. As for O-70's, they are required to be loaded on the flaps on trailers. You don't have to lift them over your head then. And if you do get an O-70 under a flap, that's when you ask your supervisor to help you lift it. And yes, turnover is really high, but that's because people give up too quickly and don't give themselves time to adjust to the job. I can tell you that it's a lot easier now for me than it was at the beginning, and I'm getting better and better everday. Stay with it - it will be incredibly rewarding. [/QUOTE]
