It’s crazy how after a month selecting it becomes a lifestyle lol. Can get frustrating at times but shits like a game of Tetris. Once you find a good pace you good
Mane I started AWG on Friday that was my Orientation and them mfs was moving fast as hell!!! Everybody was fast pace and going hard!! Monday I start training and I really wanna do it big and do the best I can but I know it’s gone take time. Got any tips or advice? This my first time doing a job like this but I’ve always been in warehouses and I’m fit as hell. I think the stacking and the working fast enough part is what I’ll have to get used to the most
Being a retired truck driver of twenty three years I have picked up my share of fallen over pallets in the trailer from bad stacking jobs and not enough shrink wrap.
Almost 6 months of selecting now in the freezer. It's very very gritty sometimes.. some nights it's hard just fighting the tears. Shit can be brutal as fuck. Especially if you got a shitty truck with 5+ stops for only 1400 cases... you definitely have to earn your respect , seniority, and your reputation. courtesy is very very important .. also don't complain ever lol. Keep your jack close and think about each case being a quarter. How fast can you pick up quarters??? Also make every step count.... when your assignment has you "zig zag" don't fall into it. Call ahead... The faster you get your hand to that throttle the faster you are. And run out every order... The biggest orders like 200+ need to definitely be ran out. Anyways. This job is extremely hard But every one I work with is extremely hard working and fucking savages. We're fucking beast out here 💪
This is what I do. The first 2 months were rough but after about 5 months my body was conditioned to the work and now its a breeze. I easily hit production and higher for the extra money.
@@THE3ARTHSHIFTED I'm sure it depends on the DC you work for. Well you have to hit %100 to maintain your job. That is considered hitting your production numbers. Where I work you can run up to %150 of production and will get paid %50 more money on the hour. So lets say I am making a flat $20 just for running %100. If I run a %150 I will get paid $30 an hour. Hope this makes sense!
I hate being an outbound loader because the physical demands of the job. Loading goods onto outbound vehicles often involves heavy lifting, repetitive motions, and working in potentially uncomfortable or cramped spaces. This physical strain can lead to fatigue, soreness, and an increased risk of injury, which can make the job challenging and unpleasant over time. Additionally, if the workload is consistently high or if there are unrealistic expectations for productivity, it can exacerbate these physical demands and contribute to feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction with the job.
@@dsellers10 look at his stacking, look at his pallet when it's done. It looks like total ass. No consistency, big boxes all over the place, NEEDS slip sheets. Trash selector.
@@MajinFernie Lol he is successful according to his warehouse. His orders make it there, they may not look the prettiest but the man is out here hustling for his family. Not everyone takes the same approach to selecting. I’m sure not every pallet you’ve built, if any, have turned out perfectly. 🤝
damn what's he gonna go and put all that back? no way in hell he remember that size of an order. I got dumbass who been working 3 years and can't remember the next item and quantity by the 3rd one..
Everyone’s talking about this and that it’s just me and one dude pulling cases together in freezer and we average roughly 1800 cases a night a piece. Pulling about 250-270 an hour. And my incentive is shit. Pmo where you all are at🤣🤣
@@lexingtonsteele4053 No not all work that way. Some have sticker labels that have the info on them and you'll use them to mark the items you pick, and some warehouses use scanners that hang on your wrist or you carry it. But the best and fastest way is using a headset.
@@tampaafro eh, personally I would find the headset to be a pain, with sticker labels I do an average of 260 an hour. Can’t see myself sitting there yelling at the headset every time I have to go to another bin lol
@@302Truckin I'll admit the headset is frustrating as hell sometimes especially if there's a bad connection. I personally have only ever selected with a headset so I can't say anything about labels but from what I've heard the bosses say about getting production higher is the headset is the fastest. But I say as long as you're out there killing it and getting paid that's what's up.
@@ilovehonda20 grocery chain don't use labels as everything going one place but institutionalize warehouses like pfg,sysco foods,US Food,Gordon food have to use labels as goods going to different different customers
Not true at all my boy holds the items underneath the cardboard down. If you rely on cardboard and use like 4 or 5 every pallet then yes your a bad stacker.
I'm not sure mate I'm looking into jobs like this but from what I've seen they wear a headset that tells them a number reference to the place he needs to go and a quantity of item he needs to pick up and put on the pallet
Not every pallet is going to be and doesn't need to be perfect. As long as it's stable enough to keep from falling, it's fine. Lotta places have productivity standards they want you to meet and not everyone has the time to make sure the pallet they build is perfectly square, straight, zero gaps, etc.
There's no e brake on the truck. It just keeps rolling.Its like they rigged it so it'll save more time and it's very unsafe. He's using a headset that's how he knows what to take. I used to order pick like this. But with a manual pump jack. There were people that had single pallet electric jacks permanent employees. The manual jack is actually faster. Because you don't have to keep bothering to move a machine. Just saying. This video proves nothing. This guy is not fast. The double pallet jack he's using isn't designed for that it's designed to move 4 pallets stacked on top and to load trucks move massive amounts of material throughout a warehouse quickly. I'd run circles around this guy with a manual pump jack just saying lol
How is a manual jack faster explain? You’d have to keep pulling it the heavier it gets the harder it is to pull it so you’d be going slower. Electric jacks you can just coast it and keep stacking as you go.
Some of the pallet jacks have a feature to keep rolling when you get off. If you want it to do that then don't pull the brake. If you do then just hop off
There's no way you'd outpull me on a manual jack. Like, literally impossible. I'm laughing in my head just thinking about it. Walking 8 football fields with 4,000lbs for 12 hrs. Are you insane?
@Liltv2413 forreal, ditto. Lol In the freezer with like weird boxes of frozen bread or ice cream, & pizza, desert cases & cooler full of weird small assorted small medium medium and large containers, some without lids
it’s easier to stack when you’re the only one doing it and not working around someone else who doesn’t understand the concept. also, must be nice to have those layers of cardboard lol
Cardboard is a must lmao.. how hes using it is outrageous tho no amount of cardboard will fill in the 1000 gaps he has and it will inevitably fall over in produce
I've done nothing but hard labor jobs my whole life and I have to say.. without a doubt.. Walmart distribution order filling was one of the most physically demanding jobs I've ever done. Brutal!
I’m ready to transfer there from Sam’s I’m ready to make more money they say I move to fast and be scaring customers I might as well try something more aggressive since I am aggressive
This is not working it's killing your body. The way he lift those boxes and stack them, he is going to regreat. I am telling you from my 3.5 years experience in warehouse and online store. Don't work hard, work smart
Worked walmart 3 years and watching this I would have been written up attest 3 different times by stepping on the pallets, not beeping while coming around the corner, and moving the jack forward and walking infront of it lol
@@_Remiixbecause it is extremely physically demanding. Most cases you are picking are at least 5 pounds which doesn’t seem like much, but you are picking thousands of them a day. While also walking multiple miles. You start to feel it, trust me.
@Blank85289 Shit I'd love if most of my cases were 5lbs. I had 4 meat trips in a row Friday all cube 120 or so. 80% of boxes I'm calling were 70 to 80lbs a few were close to 100 and there is nothing worse than it all being meat cause you're not able to get out of lifting 60lb boxes to stack on top. Friday was fucking rough I gotta say. Was so happy when I got my 240 piece dairy and just got to stack tea cause they like feathers to meat and all square n same size. If you can't tell I fucking hate the meat cooler!
I’m sorry bro, but that stacking is horrible. the arrows need to be facing up. You literally build orders like it’s your first day… Drivers must love you ( sarcasm) Returns department must love you as well. Seems like a Kroger order
Man with all do respect, I’m surprised you haven’t been fired😅 I work at the Nampa Americold facility and my god if my GM saw half the shit you were pulling not only would he popped a blood vessel from yelling so loud but you would have been dropped in seconds. Good work though😂
I commend the people that can do this with ease in freezing conditions. I worked at Publix warehouse for 3 months and was fired because I couldn’t keep up. I totally gave up by the second month and was happy they let me go 😂 could’ve made some good money but it wasn’t worth the anxiety and freezing for me. The cooler wasnt so bad but that freezer omg f**k that lol😅 ended up with a better career anyway. Crazy experience but never again!
It’s not as bad as one thinks. Working in below zero freezers it’s actually easy to stay warm. Continuous movement builds body heat. It’s the forklift drivers who get cold mostly.
I’m a stocker at a Walmart and i had never seen the other side of things…now i know why the dairy pallets almost always come with SOME case somewhere busted up and leaking🤣. (By the way, i’m pretty sure I’d get “coached” if they saw me throwing a power jack around all nonchalant like that😅)
@@blakeswinehart4341 oh, ok. That explains that part of it. Ours don’t have sensors, so they would just crash into something if we just “threw them” forward like that and they rolled too far🤓
I hated doing this job I quit in 6 months they work you like a dog not worth my time but this was back over 10 years ago when I first worked at a Walmart distribution center
Your stacking is horrible sheesh i did this kind of work for over 15 years but it was taking to much of a toll on my body and its really not worth it at all.
Horrible stacking skills. Major gaps, nothing locked in. Boxes stacked directly on each other top to bottom. By the time product arrives to customer all those boxes will be crushed 😆
@@invalidusername_5101 lol there is no way in hell Walmart would allow employees to record in their warehouses, if their reaction to people filming in their stores is anything to go by
Cool video. This was fast! Different from the warehouse I select items to build a pallet for a grocery store. Fun job, we used a headphone to tell us how many at which slot to pick items from. We tell it which slot by using a set of check digits, then it tells us how many to grab. Plus there's usually people around us doing the same thing so we may have to pick from the same area or wait, lol or they can help us with questions and stuff about how to build a pallet correctly or wrapping them.
That's how I got fired from sysco foods $2200 a week I let my jack coast and it ran right into my good friend forklift bam immediate termination as that was my 3rd accident in 18 months
The job literally takes years off of your life- for penny's on the dollar- and the ones that's doing well, pretty much are on some kinda pills- that jobs should be one of the highest in the field, that's why these companies avoid UNIONS.
you get paid to work out and keep moving, how is this taking years off ur life, as opposed to people working 40 hr desk jobs that don't move their ass all week?
It's brutal on your body. You'll take alot of pain meds. Luckily, I did this for a unionized company and was paid well. Made about 80k per year, 40 hr week, 5 years ago. Very difficult to do this long term.
Sitting at a desk will take wayyy more years off your life than this ever would. You’re walking and lifting things. With good form it’s just a light consistent workout.
@@jvzzyj5926impossible to have good ergonomics when you have 14 cases of 40lbs+ of chicken and beef to lift from the first level of low tier racking throughout 10-11 hr shifts throughout the work week not complaining just not easy to keep the good form back brace good alternative but every once in awhile gotta come off or the back will get all jiggityjanked
I would retrain this fool. I work at Tsc dc and we are number one for our non con and I lift 10-80lbs dog bags and let me tell you I run laps around everyone and it’s sad to see that I’m the best non con picker for my dc and I still get told to slow down because your making the rest look bad.
Man is wasting so many steps backpedaling 2 bays behind his jack to pick. Wish the warehouse I worked at standard was this easy. Would be walking a 230. 😂
His lifting is horrible his stacking is horrible everything about this makes me feel gross that is what the public assumes building a pallet means and I have been doing this for 5+ years. #washington
This guy supposed to get as close to the pick slot as possible, he's walking too much and is in the middle of the aisle. Also some cases with the arrows up, he's putting them upside down. I used to pick for eight years, now im a forklift driver. No wear and tear on my body anymore!
@@gprince7953 the money is there, but if you are smart, you can get into other hustles or a side business. Im done with picking, on days on the forklift making close to 33hr with a pension. But my seniority got me to that level also
This guy is very new. He doesn't stack corners or make sure his heavy stuff is going to be on the bottom, even in a smaller warehouse you can move much more efficiently and safely. This chump is throwing cardboard on a layer is not filled. People like this shouldn't be playing tetris or driving a forklift because they obviously don't care about the product. I only made it through this video about 1/2 hoping he would do something good
Yeah dis guys is good can tell he an og. Good paste frwen. But wat if I tell u by first break I be even slower den dat. Not even rushing already only da first 2 hrs. Super sweats.
Den I chillin talkin story sleeping i da aisle. Texting my baby momma at dat time. Losing em in da aisle. Go In da bathroom dodging all da shetty shots..
Somebody get this man some training he looks like somebody who unexperienced on the 1st week ! Easy big boxes I would of done that without putting layers or having to wrap the pallet
