[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 167727"] UPS is tough on preloaders, its not easy coming into work everyday and hearing "you suck". Obviously they don't put it in those exact words but thats the gist of it. The problem is most of us know the majority of the people who come down on us for whatever reason can't do it any better so its almost hypocrisy. I am the oldest loader on my wise (seniority wise anyway) on my line (only 2 years in, little over) and to be honest they don't bother me too much. I've learned that its all a bunch of BS and I just go about my business. The other day they started the unload/primary/slide before 15-30 min (forget which) before us and it was a disaster and they planned on doing this then had the nerve to ask us why we weren't done. I know 30 min doesn't sound like much, but on the boxline it is. Our cages are full when we get there so its nice to get that one swing (almost 1 and a half actually) to empty the cages out a bit before they go nuts and start tossing them in the cages. Its like they experiment on us trying to squeeze the absolute most they can out of us. Our line looked like a bomb hit it...they didn't do it again today thats for sure. If you don't misload they whine about your PPH, if your PPH is up they whine about your misloads, if you got both going well for you they whine because your truck isn't in complete stop for stop order or you didn't make a walkway down the middle of your truck. If you do all they'll think of something else, I'm waiting for the day they ask me to check the oil and tire pressure too...lol :w00t: The preload is a tough shift, anyone who's worked the night shift and extended onto the preload when needed said its much harder than anything else they've done on their shift. However I envy them...they don't use PAS, but they also load trailers, which I'm not sure I'd like.:wink: [/QUOTE]
