R Saldivar wow and thats a supe loading it....I just ask my loader try to get my rt packages on my truck and not 10-15 misloads a fn day....and those dam furniture boxes that the label is on the floor
@@djh5630 at my hub they dont, SoCal area. The only time you get tested is if you're involved in a accident or you come to work high or drunk. They even said in orientation that if your into it keep that buisness to yourself.
@John B Ive been consistently thinking about inserts ill defiantly invest. And yes ill be stretching more from here on out. I wont bring myself to quit, i have to go as long as I can.
Lol what? Where is the endless stream of packages moving faster than humanly possible? Our centre is a total shit show, so bad guys with 5 years experience can't keep up. I figured that was how it was every where. We had the big wigs from Nashville come down and check out our centre mid shift. Dudes in super fancy suits literally climbing over packages to get from one end of the line to the other. I've never seen anything like it in my life.
courtney muse Wow nice, 4 trucks is a lot of work man. The most I've done is 3 trucks at once but the other day I did 2 trucks and a trailer that was fucking hell. This dude I work with who is the same age as me started off as a package handler and now he's a part time supevisor and only been there 3 years. I wouldn't want to be a driver though, hell to the fucking no.
Most be nice to have such a slow and low volume drop. My fucking drop doesn't stop at all. Yesterday I did almost 1400 packages in 4 package cars, 550 in just one car. Lotta bulk too.
And that's why we can never find anything. First I thought maybe diff system. Then he counted it out loud. The same. Found a 1500 in my 8k section yesterday. Yep
Preloader here from PA, this is what its like, excpet we throw your shit around ALOT. Dont buy a TV off the internet, i promise i will personally break it or someone else who works on my position, its just part of the work environment. Great job and benefits if you dont mind waking up around 3 am 5 days a week.
You dont get drug tested, thy tell you not to come in if you drank alcohol in the last four hours. You really arent "supposed" to call in sick until you have some seniority. I could tell when i first started on the belt i got placed on that no one thought i was gonna last a few days. They are my cursing comrades in package warfare every morning while the sun comes up. I love it and others do to, but it takes a specific type of person for this job. Methodical, fast and easy going. Your supervisor and drivers you are loading for in the beginning may give you a tough time but stick it out, totally worth it. Send me a specific question and id be glad ti answer @Wild card
Did you have the experience of working with any women, and if so, did they seem to manage overall with the packages? I'm not worried about the sorting.
"That's bad form Manny....have you ever done DMT?" -Seattle HUB, South Center Delivery Ops. The gnarliest of the gnarly. The magnanimous, most insane del center in 6 states. Groundhog Day. Every day is peak season. Wake up. Repeat. Peak. Manny is our spirit animal. His portrait hangs with pride in our dispatch office. In his honor, Freaky Friday has been changed to: Freakin Manny Fresh Friday.
Loading is a damn joke of a job its a way of weeding out the employees who can handle and not handle operations it’s a vital job but it really is probally the worst job in a hub
This is not my Preload!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a moving conveyor belt that runs at warp 8 speed. You have to move as fast as the packages coming at you. No standing around time and constant jumping in and out of the package car running after the next packages coming your way. This is a cake walk.
Notice how all of the boxes on the self are placed on the lip. This is called a lip load. That's important to prevent packages from falling off the shelf. At least that's what I'm told.
Man I wish our preload could move this slow. And to write the pal on all the packages is insane! Its way easier to just pull the pal and put it up or out. Try doing all the safety methods and load 4-5 trucks with 1400-1500 pieces!
103... 😐104....🧐 269.... 🤔🤔..my dude didnt explain shit about how the shelves in the trucks are set up or even where to find all these different numbers you need to sort the packages correctly🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
WOW... When I recently left UPS as a pre loader, we had cages, not slides. The cages were colored Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, White and Black. I had top blue. It was not easy sorting all of the packages in the cages at the beginning of the track-loading the packages on each truck, all the while the cages were moving AND being refilled with more packages. Our 'EREGS' were hand delivered via a fellow worker and DUMPED at the beginning of each line.
I did preload 44-49 yrs ago and it was the same- out of a cage system- smaller center in So.Portland,Me.- decent job back then as Jim Casey,company dounder,founder, alive and involved in company- was less blood- sucking going on- became a driver and co.went to Hell as Casey retired!!
no clue what you said. also literally no one who hasn't done that job before know what the black guy in the video is talking about when he starts calling out numbers. thanks to this video i lost 4 minutes of my life i will never get back. thanks for nothing you low wage poors.
We love loaders every day, just sometimes get pissed when an RDR is buried up front. Loaders have bad days just like us. We get that, but I can tell when nobody gave a crap about the load. That makes our days a living hell.
A lot of drivers come in an hour early and go through the truck... It's easy to make mistakes loading when there's no time to think... Take a 2000 and put it in 4000, or just walk into the wrong truck
I'm about to start next Tuesday . Glad this job is only 5 hours a day. Cause Amazon they have you doing the same thing but more work and it's 10hrs a day hell no lol
i worked as a preloader for 5 yrs and the pace is much faster then this..they want u to pull like 220 or more a hr and mark them and write the pal label theres no way u can do it without stacking and they dont want you to stack its a tough job but after a month or 2 you will get used to it
How long you guys have scanners we start Monday. Its sucks I think it will definitely slow us all down..this video is hilarious..who moves this fucking slow?..and where are the boxes rushing down the belt. As far as safety hahahah bullshit..as soon as that belt starts safety issues are out that building..what a fucking joke!
LMAO like any of us have time for that shit. All we have is a moving conveyor so theres no time to just let boxes sit in front of the car on that slide thing. That would be nice.
It's never that slow at UPS. Yeah, that looks pre-sorted already. The hub I used to work for from the start bell ring to the end of shift non stop. Bad memories but I give them credit cause if it wasn't for that hard core intense work out every morning I wouldn't be as good as I am now at my work. 😅😂
Why isn't this positioning completely automated - it looks like people spend most of their time looking for previous numbers they *just* put on the shelf. A light can shine on what the package you are holding should go...just say the number!
When you have only a few packages it looks far more glamorous than it actually is. I would love to see a " proper training" video with even only 2 times more. Then you can show the real stuff in actual time being done " properly" and with the employees smiling and being thrilled to be in a video that is basically nothing but deception and propaganda.

I'm about to start a job as preloader and I'm a bit concerned that since it is like an assembly line that I will not be able to use the restroom if I need to.
nate smith ummm yea..I think just looking good for the camera....my loader is at full sprint in my truck and out...tripping over shit or putting his foot right through boxes...SMH....things on the wrong shelves all day going to the same delivery 3 times a day cause u cant find the rest of the shipment...our center uses 3 full time drivers between 10-12 hrs a day just to move around misloads....about a 45-50 routes center
What a pretty, well, organized, barely "full" truck. Definitely pre Covid, and not during peak season. Shame that in 2021 that mofucka stuffed top to bottom, aisle included, with packages. You need a shovel to get through the back to find your package to deliver.
This is before the qr scanners where given out,all the scanners I'm given all are horrible its always not working or saying a package was misloaded when I know for a fact I didn't because I wrote the hin number and keep the truck behind all the packages that I sort for the truck , on top of that they don't mention e regs which basically are stupidly fucking large boxes that we need to cram in the truck the best way and 99.9 % of the time you can even walk to the front from the tailgate because it's full of e regs. They fail to mention when you start out your ups hand rag and wtv they want you to do you need to do it for your first 39 days before the union will back u up on keeping ur job , so for a month you have to kiss ass and if you need to pull 400 e regs you need to do it or lose all those benefits and opportunities. It's stupid as hell sometimes how they have you do 4 trucks that are gonna be heavy and then treat the loader like shit and then wonder why you always need people because we are given (sometimes) bullshit things that don't even get mentioned in the interview( mine at least it wasnt) and be prepared to work at 3:15 in the morning till 9 30 or 10, loading grills, baby cribs, furniture, dining room sets and other shit. Also be mindful if you go to slow even if exhausted and not used to working this intense environment you'll be let go.... yeah, even if your not misloading, putting everyoackage in the right order but if your not doing 250 packages in your first month your to slow..😑now UPS how TF IS THAT EVEB FAIR THE SPEED COMES WITH PRACTICE AND COMING IN ALL THE TIME BUT YOU CANT DEMAND SOMEONE NEW TO DO ALL THAT AND OTHER SHIT YOUR SUPERVISORS POUND IN YOUR HEAD AND THOUGHTS AND BE EFFECTIVE at the same time unless you been there for at least 2 or 3 months
I see those training sups tactics haven't changed that much!! Find a reason why it benefits the employee to follow safety protocols (in this case playing basketball with his buds in his spare time), demonstrate the appropriate technique (bend knees, lift with legs, not back), follow up with employee and re- emphasize the importance of saving his back for more enjoyable activities. That 3x5 approach in it's earliest stages...I assure you, you don't want that sup to reach level 5!! At that point the people skills are thrown out the window!!
I was a driver helper last year (2015) and my driver showed me how to load the truck. this year I'm working as a preloaded loading trucks. I've had misleads, doing good because of what I learned last year. it's not too difficult.. just have to decide where things go, mainly if there's bulk stops or alot of items per section. Good jobs fir the season.
Wait, you get training? Been preloading (and unloading and small sort) since last weds (Nov 8th, 2017) and LITERALLY have had zero training. Was thrown right in. I saw somewhere else too about hazmat/warehouse safety training first few days. Nope. Nothing. Just get thrown in every morning for the last 4 mornings since I've started. Doesn't seem right at all. Also had to pull teeth just to find out ny wage and pay periods. Facility wouldn't (or couldn't) give me the info said I should have already received that info. Told them I hadn't. Call HR, got voice mail and left message, then sent a follow up email. This was last friday after the completion of my 3rd day. Finally my email was responded to and at least I know my wage/pay periods. But have literally received ZERO other info/training. Anyone ever heard of this?
could someone summarize the step by step process they went through in terms of what they're looking at and writing on the boxes? I start work in this position on monday and I wanna learn as much as I can but the poor mic quality made it impossible to understand what terms the guy was using when pointing at different parts of the box.
@@Lu-gm9mx alright so, it's been a week and I have words of wisdom. here's what I recommend. 1# minimize all work inconveniences, no matter how small. if you have a hard time getting up at 2am (which preloaders typically do, if not earlier) down an energy drink on the way to work. with the amount of energy you use on the job, its not unhealthy. If you have work shoes with pokey heel seats, get new work shoes. basically, be in as peak condition as possible. 2# bring water. I use a gallon jug and I typically drink all of it within several hours and it all comes out as sweat. don't let that intimidate you, its just being on the move the whole time during those several work ours like constantly speed walking on a treadmill. 3# make pals with coworkers. don't waste hours on the clock doing it, but if you see someone on break whos not doing anything, talk to them. they usually have insights on your locations specifications. also, try not to nap after work if you're still getting used to your work hours. getting 8 hours of sleep really does make a difference and that's hard to do if you aren't tired. just try to stay with it. its gonna be intimidating at first, and it helps a lot if your pay is 19/hr but if you like it, it'll get easier. hope this helps.
