[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 5120739, member: 79761"] For sure, I hated being at the top of the belt (loaded for just under 9 years before I went driving.) So! As far as people getting in your way... my fix for that is an official no-no but so long as I kept my pull clean I never caught too much :censored: for it-- I would build a wall at the top of my pull and another at the bottom. :censored: that egress up and make it so they [B]can't[/B] walk through, but always keep an exit through or between your trucks so that you can get away if need be. The split that gets pushed past your pull every day will go down in flames and the people behind you will likely complain to a supervisor, who's then going to head your way. Keep a level head and explain as calmly as you can why you're stacking out (don't blame people walking into your pull, blame it on the volume and pace they're trying to run preload.) Tell them you're doing the best you can as safely as you can, and that you're more than willing to accept a little help to get cleaned up. At that point they'll either help you themselves, send some help your way or leave you to carry on drowning in cardboard. Always put these things back on management, especially if you know you're always giving an honest effort. *This advice is really only suitable for permanent employees with a seniority date. As a temp/seasonal, it might lessen your already slim chances at a permanent position. [/QUOTE]
