[QUOTE="preloader, post: 143246, member: 7558"] Well, maybe i went to school a lil longer than the basic UPS sup, but by MY math, you...and they.... have it all wrong. But lets start with your numbers. 76 hours per preloader per year. This is absolutely true. However, when you have 4x the number of drivers on the belt making 3x what a preloader makes, thats 12x the price of a loader in my eyes, therefore every minute spent by EACH driver on the belt COULD have paid a loader for 12 minutes. How many times have you been on the line for a half hour loading? Thats a LOT of time the preload could have spent loading. 6 Hours in fact. This does not include the fact that many businesses are going to claim for late airs, some customers may get fed up with our tardyness so much they decide to switch to the purple and orange people. All this costs our company MUCH more than a few preloaders bringing home $250 a week insted of $225. The way i figure it if you pay these guys a few more pennies, you save a whole lot of dollars in the long run. BTW, im a 13 year senior loader, im happy to leave as soon as i can in the mornings, unlike a few we all know who like to milk that last cent out of our company. Im there to do a job, not take 30 mins to do a 5 minute task. I just wanna see things work out better for everyone, but as the old addage goes....he who rocks the boat is usually the one to fall out.
