[QUOTE="ZeroHandicapper, post: 4594674, member: 78261"] When I started preload last October, I was doing two trucks while training and then they started hiring a bunch for seasonal, so we loaded two trucks all the way through January. Then they took me up to the belt and had me loading three very heavy trucks. It definitely took some time to get used to. Once I figured out how to load the bulk stops (how the driver wanted it) and how to "bury" stuff, it got much easier. 4 cars? Wow!! Now I am running an AM Air shuttle and had a chance to visit a much much bigger facility. They have 40 trucks on both sides of the belt. The belt is much slower than ours and I believe they load 3-4 depending. We have a smaller facility that runs 15-20 routes and we all help each other out. I feel fortunate to come into a smaller facility because I dont know if I would have lasted in a larger one. Sorry to hear about that man. I am 46 and run circles around the younger kids, so I feel your pain. I have found alot of it depends on how well a supervisor likes you. At the end of the day, I think 4 trucks is a bit much, but they expect it. Were you stacked out with bulk or just didnt get on how to load right away? [/QUOTE]
