[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 868627, member: 7966"] Depends on the building you get hired at. If sorting involves lifting packages above the shoulder or placing them on a floor level belt, you will thank yourself later in life because your shoulders and back will feel much better. Sorters sort at around 1000 packages per hour or more and if half of those packages go to top belts or bottom belts, that will take it's toll on most people. If sorting is pretty much set up as a push or pull on a waist high belt, then this is not that bad on your body. Unload is hot, dusty job but you manage to keep most packages in your power zone. Pretty much the same for load. Preload is a mixed bag but almost as bad on your body as sorting. Small Sort - pretty easy on your body until you start carrying 3 or 4 bags over to the gathering/return belt. [/QUOTE]
