[QUOTE="BadIdeaGuy, post: 3682380, member: 73381"] I want to see how short I can make this, and still include all the information. Here goes: Ask a lot of questions, because you don't know anything. Get in shape, you tub of lard. Follow the work methods, as long as it is the fastest possible way to work. [B]Work Methods: [/B] Don't throw packages, unless no one is watching. Lip load, unless you want to goon the driver. Label out, again, except when you have bad drivers. Be a dork, and talk to yourself. Don't carry packages into the wrong truck, unless you like signing things. [B]The Eight Keys of Lifting and Lowering:[/B] Walk up to the belt. Don't trip over your feet. Bend at the waist, because we want to have a bad back by 30. Grab the box off the belt with one hand, because cell phones need a hand. If it is heavy, yanking motions will provide the best short term results. Twirl like a ballerina. We aren't here to do yoga. The floor always counts as existing equipment, and should be used. [B]Keys for Avoiding Slips and Falls:[/B] Walk, because we're hourly, dumbo. Ensure firm footing when you stand on packages in the middle of the truck. The poorly named "slides" will get you fired. This isn't Chuck E. Cheese. Wouldn't need to look before stepping if you'd keep your walkpath clean! Nothing at UPS changes. Ever. So don't worry about adjusting. [B]Yard Control Rules:[/B] Only yard certified employees are allowed outside designated walkways and break areas. (Applies when Corporate is at the center.) All employees must Stay in designated break areas during break. (Unless you are stacked out. In which case, they appreciate you working for free.) All employees whether certified, or not certified must use pedestrian doors to enter and exit the building. (When I quit, someday, I'm walking out the overhead door.) All the other yard control rules do not apply to a preloader, and you don't need to worry about them. [B]Other Stuff:[/B] Don't be a jerk. We all want to enjoy our 25 years of hell, here. Show up on time if your center is overstaffed. (You become expendable.) No one will help you, so don't bother helping them. You will not maintain egress. A lot of new people manage to hurt themselves at UPS, because safety isn't important to upper management. :) Don't ask for help unless you absolutely need it. Man up, or people will talk. Load RDC last if you have a nice driver. Apparently, a requirement for being an unloader, is sending bulk down the main belts. Jump off things without fear. Your knees aren't going to go bad, right?? Get reinforced boots. If they don't weigh at least 25 pounds, get a new pair. Skip the union steward. They're useless, in most centers. My fire exit is the nearest door I can find out. Hazmats are God's way of punishing you for things you have done wrong. Signing documents for management is a form of assisted suicide. Kiss up to management, and they'll keep you in the hard jobs, instead of moving you to easier areas. The people who helped you want something. Avoid. Good grief. You know it's a classic when the abridged version is crazy long. ;) Someone can summarize the summary. [/QUOTE]
