Quick question: what's the point in making all of this up? I'm seriously wondering what it is you think you have to gain by throwing out all of these random numbers that are clearly fraudulent and exaggerated. Source: unloader/loader for 5+ years in multiple buildings. One guy in particular I remember was yoked, ex-military, and even 1) working as fast as possible, 2) with help, and 3) only unloading pallets (not a floor-to-ceiling trailer with irregs, etc.), the team could barely do a 28 footer (industrial shipper, bout 600 pieces per trailer) in 20 minutes. And you're sitting here claiming you unloaded at...what...a 2500 pieces/hour rate, by yourself? With a conveyor that only goes back half-way? Come on, man. And that's assuming you aren't going to amend your wild claims to add that you're talking about 53-footers and not 28s.Preload/twilight = no difference. Heck, twilight have more volume than preload, most of the preloaders in my building get one hour because the volume is that low. Completing a large trailer in 25 minutes may not be difficult, but most people can't do it. My back was aching me like crazy when I was half way, and I pushed myself to do it. Keep in mind that I did this by myself, and the metro that I used cannot go all the way into the truck, probably like halfway or less. So I had to pick up packages and threw it onto the metro about 3-4 feet. If the Metro could reach all the way in the back, I would be done in 12-15 minutes.
Errr...back to the subject...
The heaviest crap I put on shelves when I'm loading my pickups is about 43lbs. And I appreciate not finding heavy ass crap on my shelves as well. 60lb boxes aren't like letters - they aren't going to get lost or fall behind stuff. Not on the shelf? Check the floor. Oh snap, and there it is right there.
Putting the heavy crap on the shelves and thinking "Deal with it" reminds me of the *****hats who leave 45lb'ers on bench or squat, or 100s on the leg press, etc. Not everybody at the gym wants to do that much - and even if they did, they might like to get a warm-up in first. You don't know when you're pre-loading that truck if the regular driver is out sick, and their replacement for the day is a 145lb rookie. Put your ego aside, follow the rules and understand that people are built differently.
