[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 868767, member: 18708"] Well you just made my point. What I was trying to say is that everyone is different and has certain physical limitations as well as advantages. NO matter who you are. I have DONE all of those jobs, not just asked around. So I'm speaking from my own advantage and limitation perspective. Preload is not the hardest, but it is up there. Sorry if that disappoints you or doesn't meet your tall tales to others ;0 As hoax said, pickoffs and sort aisles can be far worse depending on setup, load, and other factors. some people only last a few months on aisles. I've had awful pain depending on the building setup ..then again in one of the smaller buildings, there was only 6 belts and like Hoax said most of the belts were waist level or below (only two top). You can tear rotator cuffs, injure shoulder muscles very easily on the sort aisle. Also pickoffs, you can get repetitve stress injury on the outside of arms (triceps) and also shoulders, back (leaning over belt)...etc. I remember losing a lot of sleep at night because of side-of-the-arm pain. Anyway, be careful and whatever work UPS finds you will hurt a little, the key is MANAGEMENT finding what your body is best designed for and utilizing people correctly. [/QUOTE]
