Once you load for a couple weeks, youll begin to recognize the same shapes of boxes and just automatically know where to scan the barcode and where to stack it. But in general, place large/heavy boxes at the base of your wall. Mid-size boxes go on top of them and then quicklyly scan and place your smalls on the side of your wall. They matter less so do 3-4 of them at a time. What you want to focus on is your large/heavy boxes that come down your shoot. Plus, always try to make a flush layer of boxes so you can stack another flush layer of boxes on top of that layer. I hope this all makes sense. Just focus and move as fast as possible! You got this!
@@blastomanto5687 fr just work at your own pace they can't fire you for it if you're working as "safely " as you can, you'll eventually get used to it I'm in the highest flowing trailer in the building that has to be gone and out b4 any other trailer by like an hour with one other guy and we crush it, I'm like 4th loader in the building by # of packages
bro its a small 7ft tall box truck he is loading, its easy. Nothing compared to the full 9ft tall semi trailer at amazon that you alone have to load non stop with or without a stairs.
Wow. This is a nice truck to load in. You do not have to scan the boxes, conveyor belt is waist level, and a nice slow flow and you do not have to break jams in the chute. This is heaven. I wished I worked there. I have to load 53 footers, scan the packages, break jams in the chute and handle a quick flow of boxes and irregs for hours in a heavy flow truck and do multiple 53 footers on a part time shift. I am in the wrong hub!!!. lol. It is much easier spacing your wall just a little, throwing small packages and bags behind your walls and on top and loading from right to left or left to right wall to wall and keeping boxes flushed. You are blessed to have a truck like this to load in. I am definitely the unlucky one.
the fact that people are saying its much much harder than this , and this is a slow day....is crazy, because this video itself looks like some hard damn work, lifting boxes non stop like this and putting them in spots for 4-5 hours...that is hard as fuck
@@Ianisatool i started working at ups last month on the 16th, i am unloader and not a loader and the loading side does look hard especially when i see their trailers have so much shit all over the place because they cant keep up with the boxes coming to them. I would def quit if i was a loader lol.
Bro I wrk at the Jefferson St Hub in Chicago and we have to brake jams, run rollers, scan and load by ourselves 😢😢 that shit is difficult and I been there 2yrs 💪 you make shit look easy frfr because I'm sure your management gives you helpers because I hear someone scanning frfr
I always build a wall then throw behind so basically like a foot and a half infront of the last wall and how tf do you save the boxes for later must be a low flow
The good old days, i worked at ups for 6 years as a part time loader in ny. The shit will kill your back but if ur a active person its soooo much fun. U musta had a cool supervisor kuz yo ass wasnt using the load stand, lol
RzVids depends where you work. There is so much volume at twilight where I am that each and every trailer has 4 people minimum 2 loading on each side and one scanner near front of trailer and one guy up top. With shit equipment rollers that you have to constantly manage rather than the conveyer belt shit. 1800-2200 calories burnt on an average day. 1500 or so on a slow day. 2800-3200 on a cancer day. Only a 4 hour shift. If you dont want to get fires you will be skimping on safety to an extent. Backbreaking and joint ruining work here all because ups wont upgrade this massive ass hubs equipment at all, which would literally save them money for efficiency. I came in at 200 pounds 19 percent body fat and now im 169 with a little over 8 percent body fat. Job is great for your heart and mind if you can battle through and it will get you ripped if you eat enough food / protein (takes a lot) but if you work there for years and years it will destroy your joints, elbows, back etc.. 10-20 years down the road. I started in January and covid has skyrocketed the amount of work being done here.
What ups is this. I've literally never seen such a slow flow. Within like 5 seconds I get burried in boxes falling on the floor. Then I have to dig my way out to break jams and dig my way back in. Also why you not scanning every box my guy. Wherever this is, I need to go there. If you're seeing this video thinking you wanna work here, don't be fooled. It is never this easy it's a thousand times worse.
@@fredo2x625 absolutely!!! You may get lucky, if there are enough people, to get someone in the truck to dig you out of the boxes that pile onto the floor. But yeah more often than not you're all by yourself
No because some places like where I work you have to do both and don't have a choice to work with someone to scan for you unless you get backed up then you will get help by then it's already late because you're already backed up. Not all places let you get that help. Some of us have to do both. Scan and load the boxes which is harder especially when it's going fast.
FedEx has boxes coming down faster but we don’t gotta scan each box just stack them, there are also people that fix jams so you don’t have to leave the trailer as often
This video show us what a chill day looks like i'm working in Ups as a loader (in Germany) since 2 weeks and one day we were 3 workers on one container and we can't even keep up and you have to imagine we gave all of our tempo what we had😂
Those belts should be adjustable to were you can lift them up or down. The company I work for has adjustable belts for loading trucks. You can pull them up and down with a little knob. When up high enough he boxes don't fall on the floor.
I was doing this at target distribution center shit was hard sometimes we would get 6 trailers at one time conveyors just pumping boxes in each 1. one time I had the runs smh😂 worst day ever thank God I had some buddies they helped me cleared my lines
This doesn't even do justice to it. Imagine two loaders in one truck scanning and loading every package as fast as they can go and not even come close to keeping up. I'm all for working hard, but work in America is designed to be as hard and miserable as possible to crush the workers.
i dont know why i looked this up but i’m fortunate to be working at one of the best hubs btw flow is usually not this slow and lots of other shaped packages
Don’t be deceived by this video. Those boxes come fast, and you will have nightmares about belt jams because you’re not going fast enough, and the carpet rolls….oh my Jeezus. Loading is One of the most strenuous jobs in the world.
Fedex should partner with a reputable Moving Company and have the movers teach how to load properly. Movers can look at a room of furniture and boxes, tell you how much it weighs, and how many square footage it will take up inside the truck. We load by building tiers or walls with heavy items bottom and lighter as you get to the top. Flat boxes on the walls or very top of tiers. Loading boxes is so easy for a Mover that you often hear guys saying that they will load themselves, because they have to focus more on objects and furniture that is not shaped square. If these guys think they are good loaders at UPS/ Fedex, give them Moving van to load with a house full of furniture and boxes with a garage 😀
I mean depending on your supervisor, most don’t care how messy you are because the main problem is not getting the sorter backed up. It’s pretty rare to get 2 people to help on one truck especially one with slow rate of packages coming in. Usually you get 1 person assigned to 2 trucks and you have to alternate between them to make sure they don’t get backed up. They only time you have to be neat is when the top teir supervisor comes by because they’ll make you start over if it’s not strong walls.
I agree! The Fedex I work at now have horrible trainers they took that job for the money…all the trailers look a mess…I’m so glad I came already knowing what to do. I went from hating to load bellies of trailers to being requested to fix the mess my fellow coworkers made 😓it’s such a simple job even when the boxes come fast loading them should be hassle free that’s why it’s important to properly build your wall
@@fredo2x625 at my hub, boxes are coming down so fast that you're getting barried in the trailer. You have to move 5x faster than this guy or will back up the belt.
How I think. Before the product enters the hub, they are palletized and rolled. Example: shipping leaves germany france all products to france are already packaged. when entering the truck, each pallet already has its destination, just take it out and direct it to the next hub. If you ship THIS FORM PRODUCTS SEPARETED from Germany to Spain you will have to do this procedure in the video 6 times the product is more CHANCE to be damaged.
I use to work a warehouse called At home and we did this but all furniture stuff and it was heavy stuff but I was really good at this and use to get trapped in trailer cause the people scanning just throwing boxes at me all day
Personally, I would not be pissed off if I saw load like this. Not sure why many people as saying his load is horrible. As an unloader, this is one of cleanest loads I have seen. Whenever I unload, I see trailers full of packages that are about to fall off, Irregs all over the place, packages crooked causing the load to slip and fall off everywhere which can hit the unloader head at any time. Maybe I'm just used to horrible loads at my trailer that my standards of seeing a load such as this is clean to me. To each their own.
@@Hachiro Agreed I guess everyone in the comment section is so used to clean loads this is horrible to them. While we are so used with horrendous loads this is clean to us.
@@LibertarianGamer-ff5tg the thing you don't realize is that his load looks "fine" now, but the way he's building when it takes off down the road everything falls over then you get the messed up load you're talking about
The one I did, we had to pick them up off the floor. Loaded with 2 people and it was endless boxes. We were both hustling fast. I lasted about an hour and left the job. Very miserable. The handle with care label, why do they bother having those?
At Target they give me 6 trailers at once, at 110% to 115% production (LOTS of boxes) thank god im trained in different areas now. loading can get exhausting
At my facility we don't even have to scan them we just stack them in well we decide not too supervisors suggest to but not necessary only bags if possible & bulk at the end
@@jrz1459 horrible job lol,Idk it’s probably because theres not too many people where i worked at and they had you doing multiple trailors ,they will tell me to move quicker and quicker and i was fucking sweating all over my body ,Pay rate is shit for you busting your ass
Yep still working here for 3 months now in high flow, I use to run 2 trailers and help on a 3rd trailer but was recently moved to highest flow trailer it's so much better honestly me and my buddy are in it and we close it out before break
Am i the only other loader thats lookin at this and questioning if this is actually ups i know damn well on my belt i am not able to wear a jacket its 10 degreees and im sweating like a dog throwin 120 lb workput equipment on top of those walls
First things first walls aren’t flushed, not using a load stand, seen you twist more than pivoting, not building left to right, putting heavy boxes in the wall that could be used as cornerstone packages
- urPRESIDENTEaom Because I have to scan every mf package lol and that bitch doesn’t scan half the time. If I could just load like he’a doing in the video I’d be faster.
I'm sure there's a logical explanation 🤭🤭🤭. I'm guessing we just aren't seeing upstream on the rollers far enough where all the boxes are falling off the track and laying on the floor.
@@ajwillmakeit2206 I was a package handler at UPS...for like 3 days then left that place. Knowing what I know now, after a year you can become a driver and make just as much as 100k a year with benefits.
How many people here know what happens when the driver takes that load out then slams it against the dock when he gets to his destination. Its not pretty, terrible loader!!!😬
