Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
it is for the new system going in. We just got it, preloaders now have to scan their packages and those things tell you if ur in the right truck. Today was the first day I used them, you get a belt with the scanner right in the middle that hangs down to ur nuts.

It is a preload smart scan beacon. A light DOES blink on them every now and again. But they don't have cameras, mics or shock sensors in them. Just a bluetooth antenna and transmitter, and 5 batteries to keep it broadcasting for 5 years. Most of the beacon is battery.
In a week or two, you'll associate a package car and a load ID with those beacons at the start of the sort. You'll scan packages you're about to load into a "queue". If you walk into the wrong car with your "queue", the scanner will make a loud, annoying long beep. Right car, short beep, and the packages will be associated with the car. On average, they cut misloads by 2/3rds.

Don't these make for less cargo area which means one less package to load?

We've had them in our center since September. Don't scan the wrong package in the wrong truck, otherwise a horrible screaming noise will come from your crotch and sound off in regular intervals until you go into the right truck.
About a half hour later your supervisor will show up and look for a misload/no re-scan in whatever wrong truck the system thinks you put the package in.
Sometimes, when you have a heavy flow coming down the belt, you'll hear the trademark BOING sound from the scanner meaning the battery is dead or the scanner battery pack disconnected.
I have extensive conversations with my scanner, often involving a variety of profanity and descriptions of male genitalia.

Our whole scanner system went down a few weeks ago. I think we had about 40 misloads that day since most of the load staff was hired post-scanner.

Yep. Same things were said about PAS too. Imagine if THAT went down these days.

UPS has dumbed the preload job down to where anyone can do it. Except no one wants to at $10/hr.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
Now they are getting what they pay for.
