I work on a reach truck in a freezer currently at -20 the best way to get through these jobs is to have a purpose when going to work. Know that this job is not going to last you forever its hard on the body and mind but if you go in there with a mindset of being the best worker and moving up or sayin u will be there for 2-3 years to get your money up or eliminate debt it becomes easier. Stay warm and good luck to all
@@ohworrrd9830 yes I’m still in the freezer it’s year 3 for me I’m currently making $25n hr in the Indianapolis area. Staying here long term was never my plan though I was paying off debt and saving 5-6 months on emergency funds. I now have a business I run on the side. I’ve started to invest my money into real estate and I’ve bought a couple atms that I’ve put in barbershops I’m making a little over 1200 a month off of these assets. I’m going to keep investing in real estate until I have enough properties to cover all my monthly expenses and then I will be leaving my company here for good and just focus on my business and no longer the owners in which I’m working for now
Best advice ever I started as a order selector when i turned 20 I instantly knew what kind of position those jobs were expected of. First job i lasted 3 yrs before the company got bought out and went too shit and hrs got cut then I went to a new job where I lasted 6 yrs and had to leave because my health was not at is best that job honestly used up my body like nothing and I was top picker overall in that warehouse for quite awhile until I couldnt no more... Basically Im saying is when you at these jobs is get your paper up pay off your debt and get the fuck out of that job because being a order selector once your older isnt going to be pretty
Yes bro your absolutely right. I literally try to be better everyday. It’s my second month selecting and I’m glad I finally complete orders pass the 100% range. The checks make me smile and is also another motivation to get the job done! Nice video 💪🏾
Bro on god I remember when I was a selector a Publix and I went in the gas station first thing I said to the clerk for he could even say anything Was say again
@@Bikini_bottom_strangler same here I keep thinking I have a headset on, I keep saying "say again " everywhere i ago, last time I was at the store I picked up a box and said One! Outloud.
He's also not following proper warehouse safety, 'hopping off the jack while it's in motion' and 'standing in front of the machine while he's making it go'.. granted he's pretty quick, I foresee an accident soon with this guy.
Gee Qew Its impossible to follow safety standards and run enough production to make you're incentive. I've tried and I can only run a 105 "safely". At the DC where I work, 130% is the goal, that's the cap for incentive pay. Wanna make that $300-$500 extra a week? Fuck the rules. Watch out for Assest Protection.
Orderfilled nights for 2 years before becoming a night shift loader for 3 more. Orderfilling put me in the best shape of my life. Loading kept me there. Orderfilling in the heat of summer will teach you a lot about yourself. Watching 20 people come in as new hires and seeing all but 2 quit within a month. Knowing that you're the only one from your new hire class still there 5 years later. Takes a certain kind of person to do this and it gets old the older you get.
I am 20 years old just started as a selector at sysco i was hired with 6 were down to 5 now and im really inti this kind of work its a great fit for me
Talkman-pick 10 case Me-breaths through nose Talkman- you said 6 I asked for 10 is this a short product? Me-no Talkman- goodnight Me-talkman WAKE UP!!!
To all those moaning about guy jumping off, clearly never worked in warehouses where you get in trouble if you don't achieve your targets. A lot of people jump off at my place, if you follow the rules and do it safely, you may as well start looking for another job as you may not stay long as your performance will be reflected in that.
@@weizerthanbud7464 right bc they don't want to lose workers, bottom line is this is in fact a shitty and depressing job no one really enjoys working in,better pay or find a better job
I've been selecting for around 8 years. Been at Sysco, GFS, CVS, and US Foods. If you want to do this type of work, just go to Sysco and make as much as you can. GFS is a close second but CVS and US Foods is garbage. Turnover in this field is crazy. Every warehouse has their own culture but generally, you don't even take time to know someone's name until they make rate(100% Production). My biggest gripe about this job is the treatment. They treat you like a low-class worker and refuse to see it as skilled labor. Then they complain about people not making rate or walking out of the job during a busy thursday shift. There's a new trend all these companies are trying to pull. Calling us "Industrial Athletes" or "Get Paid to Work Out". Bitch, please. Pay me like one of these professional athletes or cut the crap. That being said, I like picking. I take pride in my boards(pallets) and have passed my running days. It really depends on the comp plan of the company whether running is worth it or not. At Sysco, you're making bank. They feed you, they pay you well, they have good jacks and keep them maintained. But they hired you to pick and you will pick your ass off. At CVS and US Foods, they want to you be janitors, wrappers, piece pickers(fake selectors), battery technicians, and other bullshit they can find if it can save them a buck. It's all bullshit to cut cost. These are some of the things new selectors need to watch out for. Pay in this industry is going up, but slowly. Lots of managers I've talked to simply say, "The new generation of kids don't want to work." I call bullshit. Old or young, we all want to make money but one thing's for sure, younger guys have more opportunities. Why break your back in 5 years picking cases when you can go to school, get an IT degree, and smoke guys in the warehouse? My current company spends 6-8 grand on each new hire. That includes all the training, drug/background testing, etc. All for these guys to quit in 2 weeks. Hmmm, how about spending those 6-8 grand and paying the current selectors who actually want to stay? It's part ego-driven. Upper management can't stand seeing guys on the floor making more money than them. Well, they should get off their lazy asses and pick some cases then. Lastly, I believe it would take 50-100 years before we even worry about automation. Amazon is at the head of this "problem" but that's because they have the money to spend. That also doesn't affect "real" selectors aka case-pickers. Building warehouses to accommodate machines is a lot tougher and more expensive than humans and it will be a long time before this field stops existing. The pressure of newer bodies not wanting to work this job, along with the high turnover have slowly pushed for better pay. Just don't utter the word "Union" or you'll quickly find yourself on the shit-list.
Badass info bro. Lots of truth right there. The thing about "industrial athletes" (lol that's a new one) is most are on Tramadol or some other pain killer.
I worked at US foods and it was garbage brother. They set you up to fail. They didn't even take the time to train us, just showed us a couple videos on day 1 and on day 2 let us run wild without any knowledge. We had to literally figure it out and ask the veterans there when they had a spare second or two to share some secrets with us to make the rate. The headsets never worked, the same with the ryder jacks. We also had to also carry a stack of order stickers as we drove to apply on the product. We had a lot of people from Sysco come in as well. Worse thing is, is that I was being overworked and hurt my back one night selecting. I had a week off and they still tried to get me in for light duty. I refused and upon my return got fired! Fucken pussies, a week before I got hurt they told me they knew they were overworking me including the other two new guys and they were gonna let us go home after 8 completed hours so we don't burnout. And look what happened lol. If I went back to selecting I know I would make the rate this time. Yea the work is for true warriors but what makes it hard is the graveyard schedule. It interferes with your relationships. If it were during the day even if it were 12 hrs I'd be back no question.
Currently working at Stop and Shop where it's local 25, Teamsters. Shits cash, union makes sure there's money, healthcare, and pension so all I really worry about is selecting right. Honestly not bad at all working there, but since it is union literally everything operates off seniority. Plenty of o.t., plenty of benefits, and plenty of money. Can't really complain
dude im late saying this but your so fucking right i respect your comment nough said just to let you know im 170% at what i do and i feel im been cheated but thats me peace god bless....
I was a order slector for 5 years and can speak for myself stay away from these type of jobs get a CDL or something else there is no future in these type of jobs. Companies only see you as a number and after you get hurt burn out they will fire you in a heart beat. I worked 16 hours shifts in busy season there was no regular time to clock out from 1:30pm until the job was done some times 9:00 am and we still had to come in the same day. They would give you a write up if you fail to keep the average rate no matter how many hours you worked. fking nuts the money was good but your back can only hold so much beating until it gives out.
This is cool to see. I was a grocery order writer for UNFI's biggest customer for like 6 years, so I always wondered what it was like for the dudes who were putting my pallets together!
@Hector Carreon I was hired at that location one week before you guys went on strike a few years ago. They fired me after the strike was over. That's when I decided to go work on cars
@Hector Carreon Wow. I enjoy working on cars. I opened a shop in Gardena and got robbed. Closed shop and Now I work for dope shop currently. I'll open another shop in a few years.
@@thespeedjunkieo2904 You are on a time limit. Each Trip Is Timed and rated with a percentage. It is honesty slavery. Everyone i worked with had bad back problems or were always in pain. Not good for your health at all. But if your young full of energy and healthy go for it!
Have to be in shape for it I average 24-25 hours easy 40 plus at publix that's walking going slow faster guys average more I work smart not fast never got hurt eat well and get 3 days off a week and once a month I get 4 days off a week.

I worked out at Walmart DC in Nevada while going to EMT school when I got my emt job offer call at work I finished my pallet left it on the forks and walked tf out felt great don’t miss this work, and to the guys doing this thank you cause most people wouldn’t. Run hard and shoot to kill fellas best of luck out there.

Must be nice. All he needs to voice in are a 2 digit check string and quantity. Having coast is nice too, most places have it disabled now. Plenty of space in this freezer too and very clean.

Whether you're doing this or anything else, it's not your job that makes you a man. And everyone deserves respect for making an honest living, whether it's janitorial or something much higher on the pay scale.
@@ruleaus7664 And I fully agree with you, but I didn't agree with the previous comment that said that working warehouse made you less of a man because you were less intelligent than highly skilled jobs. You know? Life happens sometimes.😑
@@charliedays You're right. There are millions upon millions of people worldwide with low-skill jobs who are doing it for one reason or another. That reason, more often than not, isn't because they're unintelligent. Anyone can fall on hard times and everyone doesn't live in the same set of circumstances, so to call someone unintelligent because they don't have a fancy job title is stupid.
Good luck to you if you're doing this.. i quit after six months. I don't believe most of these people commenting on youtube about how they are hitting 130% -200%.. that's bullshit unless you're packing totes or something because if you're building pallets on double pallet jacks you'll be lucky to hit 100s. The only guys hitting 100+ are Union guys who get the easy stuff (but they paid their dues). I've seen the list showing people's production many times, not ONE hitting 100, mostly in the 70s and 80s. Even Union guys' list you see maybe a third hitting 100s.. barely. Freezer guys its a different story. Anyways prepare to work til 7am, 16 hour shifts, sleep 4 hours and get back to work.. although that happened to me only a couple times. I've never been so depressed but had so much money in my life. 10grand in the bank account depressed as hell my entire life revolved around that warehouse. There are guys in there 20+ years they don't even know their kids because they spend their entire life holed up in that warehouse. I can't do that shit, but you do what you gotta do i guess. anyways good luck if you're looking in to this
I've been doing it for almost 2 months now for HEB already looking for another job screw this although the money is good but still I already feel depressed about it and manu friends of mine have done it as well and ended up leaving but my respect to those who actually go far with it though
Yeah they try to sell you on it having “great pay” but it’s really not “great”. If you are a single 23 year old guy with no kids and minimal expenses, you’ll have more money than you know what to do with. Imo this is why it’s easy for people to get caught up in the pay, as you’re easily making much more money than a lot of people your age you know who are just starting off in their careers. There are guys who can pull 200’s and make ridiculous money doing it but those guys are few and far between and the average selector is anywhere between an 80 and a 150 which is a range of about 16 an hour to 30 an hour. Honestly from what I’ve seen most guys never make it higher than 120-130 no matter how long they do it, it’s almost physically impossible. The older you get the more of an average paying job it becomes, most people your age are making as much as you to do a lot less work, the only difference is you’re still doing the intense labor. Most of the people that say they “like it” are also not telling you the truth from what I’ve seen. People will say that but then bid into other jobs right after they say that. Overall it’s a really good temporary job, especially when you’re younger, but as a long term job it’s fairly dead end.
@@psychoticninja100 I’m 26 and I only got a car to pay for and my phone bill. That’s the only expenses I have honestly.. so this job will definitely help with that plus I’ll be able to stack. I don’t see this as long term but just long enough to stack and pay off debt
@@kiingkay good luck to you. Like I said, it’s one of the best temporary jobs you can have if you just need some cash and need it quick. But just remember to stay on your purpose outside of work so it can be just that-a temporary job🙏🏻
I use to work like a dog all day as an order selector for americold... 50k per year... in the meantime I took free programing clases at MIT opencourseware now I work writing code making 10k less but enjoying spend more time with my family...
CURIOUS EYE be happy I only make around 25,000 a year doing the same job but I also pull loads and load trucks through out the day and work 6 days a week almost the whole year with most days being around 12 hours. I'd love to make 50,000
Never worked as a full order picker, I did freezer work at restaurant depot, it had its challenges, Definitely don’t miss the cold haha, or the non stop stocking
I do this work in a freezer. You earn every penny. Anyone thinking about working in a Wal-Mart DC as a picker better get their shit together and be ready to do what this guy is doing for 12 hours straight with enough of a break to shovel a few spoons of food in their mouth
I tore my L5 disc and it can’t be fixed not even with surgery… I was out on disability for 9 months And told my dr to release me and I’ve been back to work still running circles on these young guys with a torn back ….
Yall stack pallets and dont spill em while riding? And have someone reading picks?? The riders at my job all have chewed up wheels that are heard across the freezer, and we read our orders from paper, turning pages in bulky ass gloves. Wild. Btw Any glove recommendations? I drive a reach in a freezer thats neg 20 so I extreme durability isnt a big factor. Im rocking the green rag wool thinsulate refridiwear gloves ATM. They hold up fine but arent quite warm enough
where I pick it's all high quantity picks. your pallet is complete after stopping in 2 to 6 locations because each stop you are picking multiple layers of the same case. they even disabled coast function on our Jacks. it's more of a hazard than a benefit when every stop you pick 20 to 120 cases. but when your doing all pick 1's coast is key
That must be nice, our orders only go out like that during holidays, but during the regular year you can stop at as many as 200 locations for two full pallets. Lots of tiny shit cases like chocolates, cigarettes and tobacco. I hate stacking small crap like that.
I’m a new hire been working there 3 weeks( in grocery so I deal with 3 pallets 2 now) since I’m training. But I’m no where near that high in production( if your pallet is at a standstill your not producing my trainer said). I just wanna know what it takes to get that fast I’m still learning stacking and it’s a lot tbh. Which items go there and how to create an nice even pallet? Any tips and tricks is well appreciated( I love the job and it seems like it’s not the worst) lmao!!
Order Selection is a trade , I been with GFS for 9 years now , We all know how hard is the order selection position ...... thanks to order selection It was possible to make 120 k in one Year overtime was there and of course INCENTIVE paid per case selected. Worked as Order Selector for about 5 years , definitely I missed the chance to make real money!!!
damn Gordon is paying like that? I worked with a guy at C&S that made 120 in a year but that was on SWAT all year long. The most I made there was almost 70 but that was in my own warehouse all year and i only ran for 7-8 of those montha
It’s all about time management and efficiency. Get your order quickly, sign on quickly, get good pallets quickly, know the shortest routes to your state aisle, looking for the next pick slot when you are picking the previous case. Know where you can make time, and where running like crazy is feasible. I’ve worked for the same company for 7 years now, I’ve picked all parts of the warehouse from grocery to freezer. The guys who “run around like nuts” never last, and if they do, they’re on light duty half the year from having a fucked up back. Believe me, trying to get done so you can piss off in the break room every night takes its toll on your body in a short amount of time. We had to pick 443 minutes in 8 hours, and I would make sure to be going fast enough to get done, but not so fast as to injure myself. I also tried to pick my orders and always have my jack moving when in coast mode. If you can do that and still get cases stacked and moved onto the next pick slot, you’re golden.
Yeah I work at sysco and they have treated me good I make great money I love it good opportunities with sysco I know guys that be 180 or up making great money just gotta take care of your body good sleep stay focused get lost in the sauce executed and home then all over again
I work in a freezer and wear glasses. Every time I step out my glasses inevitably condense up.. which is super annoying. I have thought about contacts but not sure if they'd do the same? Anyone else have this 'problem'and how do you cope? Have been looking for some sort of spray to counteract the condensation but no luck. Stay frosty
Def. go with the contact lenses! I never had a problem with fogging or condensation. If you use reading glasses too, try to get multi focal lenses. I don't need reading glasses anymore with them.
@@alecanderson2386 Problem is sometimes we put in a whole lot more than the employer is willing to give out. But we keep putting in thinking that there will a benefit for us later. Often times there is no benefit. Have a nice day
I clean and organize the freezer for selectors so I'm in 10° -20° all night, every night. At least these guys can stay warm. But honestly the reason I won't select is they have no home life and I got a kid so I need my daddy daughter time.
I just started sysco 3 weeks ago and Im at 40% Im trying to get to 60℅ then chill and get some experience. The problem I have is on pallets over 150 (im still in dry) I dont know what my next step is to getting the higher% im not looking to hit 100 soon
I work at a warehouse too and boy did I think that we only used to vocalet system. I start out at 120 percent but I can never end the day with 100. It's always between 70-90 depending on how fast I burn out. 🤣
as far as the pay goes I've never heard of 20k a year for a order picker in a frozen warehouse. here n Washington it's easy to finds jobs that pay above 20 n hr plus OT
$60,000 a year to be an order picker?!! That's £46,000 here and order pickers are lucky if they get more than £20,000 a year, and that includes frozen ambient.
Most of the order selector jobs get paid pretty good. Problem is, it is a very physical job that most people aren’t prepared for. It’s typically paid based off performance, so that could be the difference of making $15 an hour to $32 an hour. Freezer pay typically is only about .50¢ extra an hour.
We have to get 80items a hour to keep the job and 120+ a hour to get a bonus witch put u around 17$ a hour. We also have to scan the barcode above the item and sticker the box
Hey bro the pattern number line is hard for me and I didn’t pass my loading freight test in the beginning of orientation they make you take tests bro I failed them physically I can do the job I just don’t have the brain to do it numbers never been my thing any tips
I'm still stuck in the cooler. there's one order we pull that no matter how many times we tell them, they won't fix it. it's a cheesecake batch. 120 cases on one pallet. so heavy it caves in on itself. no matter how you stack it. got one today. 117 cases with 24.5 minute goal time. stacked it perfect. wrapped it several times still. second to last aisle the cases started collapsing. grabbed last case and as I was headed out. she started leaning more and more. then boom. entire order flopped over. that's the cooler for you. p.s. think they'll fix it now. lol
+sam art lol what I did was try to level the weight out. make sure the weight was dispersed evenly through the pallet.(of course killing my time but with this batch nobody cares about anything but getting it to the door.) then I pu cardboard down and wrapped it after the third aisle. thing was squared out gorgeous looking and chest height. but wrapped it tight. then every few aisles i wrapped again. by the last aisle it was I'd say...7 feet high. all chicken, bout 60 cases of 58 pound chicken. 10 cases of 24 dozen eggs, milk, creamer, lord knows what else. I think the lightest case I pick on that order is 40 pounds. anyway, like I said, I literally just, caves in. I'll have to snag a picture of one sometime. or get yall a video.
+Buk Lulu lol dumb part timer? you might be the dumb cause you either didn't read or can't read. it's called, I don't get to pick what I select first. it's called you can't stack meat on top of anything, meat has to go on bottom. so nearly hollow meat boxed with about 80 more cases of 50+ pounds stacked on it, it's gonna eventually give in. so as Sam and I said, it's called poor batch design. shut your mouth and stop trying to act like you know. I'm a dumb rookie? your 1 comment alone told me a lot about you, including that you have either never selected or are sorry as hell.
+Buk Lulu lol I'm not even gonna waste my time with you man. you really just said make a 1 pallet order 2 pallets? nice. so when they go to load it they'll just send that extra pallet the next day. customer can wait for the other half of their order. out excuse would be that the extra pallet wouldn't fit in the truck so give us a break. haha . you must be slow as hell.
+Buk Lulu oh my. you're just like the rest. get off their probation a period and now your are a pro. lol 2 years?! nice! (sarcasm). and you can walk with machine behind you. it's called being kn one side. dude, are you serious or are you getting your info from websites and have never selected before? lol sam, this guy's is a joke
I work at Americold for 2 years now. It’s been very very bad, not because of anything about selecting but it’s the fact that we get sent home when there’s no more work. Sometimes 4 hours into our shift sometimes 6 sometimes 3. It sucks.
Man I do this for a smaller ice cream company and we don't get paid shit ($10/hr to start, with vets not even getting to $18), and our work environment is insanely unsafe. Our racking is broken, frost everywhere (some places the roof leaks so we get ice mountains). I broke my ankle last summer because the throttle on a jack stuck AND it had no brakes engage when the handles lifted so boom there went my ankle between it and a high lift at full speed. Only reason I work there is because it's the best summer job I can find while in college.
Tom CFC Well the best thing is dress in layers because if you work hard enough you might find you get hot and you definitely don't wanna sweat in a freezer environment. If your hands get cold what I did was purchase a smaller pair of gloves to go under my big ones. Other than that it just depends on the nature of your work whether you will get really cold or not.
Jacob Daubenmire Im not sure of the exact tempreture but I think it will be similar to this video, Ill for sure make sure I wear double gloves and layers. Hopefully wearing a wolly hat is fine
Tom CFC Yeah I wore a hat like the guy in the video but if it's really cold you may want a hooded sweatshirt you can add to keep your neck warm. We didn't have headsets like they do so it wasn't difficult to put a hoodie on and take it off really quickly. Anyways best of luck it isn't all that bad once you're accustomed to it! That is as long as your work environment is safe anyways lol
The warehouse i worked in was -50 in meat and dairy and -25 in bakery. I dont miss the job, only miss being paid each week. Some of my shifts were over 24hrs straight, it was a cold nightmare of a job for a kid out of highschool
@@brandonnorris5996 🤣 fr bruh. 1 most freezers are only -10 to -25f. And 2 if my fuking supervisors had me selecting for more than 14 hours I'd just clock out and go home 🤣 they ain't loading me up like that. 24 hours that's damn near 7k cases for me
there's nothing like a scanner at the wrist, it talks to you, and shows you exactly what it is shows the number of cases, and what they are shit I couldn't imagine doing it with paper or headset that is horrible
RICO DA DON Not bad, but percentages can vary greatly from warehouse to warehouse. I seen people come from warehouses pulling 210% to around 150% at another. Same amount of effort just different time given for the job.
My official job title is Industrial Athlete , i work in the freezer -30 we have automated hilo robots actually . and I get paid Piece Rate .16 cent per case i touch . touch 1500 cases in 6 hours
Made 70k in this field last year. Covid helped A LOT. Worked 70-80 hours a week for about 7-8 months straight. Fuck the freezer though. Waaaay to cold for me.
Whatever you do, DO NOT skimp on boots. Go with Timberlands or Merrels. Cheap boots will give your aching feet and will disintegrate with this type of work.
Definitely wear a safety toe shoe. Look for shoes that have composite toe, which is a hard plastic that is lighter and doesn’t get as cold as metal. Reebok typically has a good selection with a good amount of grip (important so you’re not sliding in the freezer)
I'm going through a transition in life and am considering a physical job since office work has made me overweight. So you think someone in their 40s can be a order selector?
I worked for mclane in newnan, we were the worst mclane in al dcs lol highest turn ovr rate too. i ended up leaving after seven months, nnot cause of job, mainly management was very bad
I work as an order selector at Sysco. We have printers and scanners, we label each package, and I'm picking around 700 cases a night. Some guys are at 1000-1500. It's not a bad job, I just look at it as 10 hours at the gym. It really is crazy how quick you have to be, and it's more exhausting than concrete work, that's for sure.
Justin Kesner I've done masonry work in Tucson AZ in summer 110°. Carrying cinder blocks all day. This order selecting is more demanding physically for sure
I lost 75 lbs in less than a year doing this. Built muscle, too. But, working in a freezer can be PAINFUL, especially when your sweat starts to freeze and it feels like your hands and feet are being stabbed.
Hell yeah. I see the McClain candy pallets. Looks like every pallet is about to tip over. Barley any shrink rap. And stacked so high you can barely get it off the truck.
@@christioherstorer9480 And if an entire pallet of frozen meat or french fries should happen to fall from the upper racks and leave a pile of debris in the middle of the lane, and you have to clean it up.... you are in for a loooonngggg c-c-c-coooold day.
I worked freezer and in pack off at 32 degrees all the time..I loved my job and cant stand to work in amy other setting warehouses like the hot or even air conditioned ...too much dust..atleast in a cold setting the dust is frozen..lol
FitMotivation it depends on how hard you work. If you’re moving fast you won’t want many layers. If you’re new, you probably will start off with quite a few. I always taught my trainees to over dress in layers then take some layers off as they find out what works perfect for them based off their work style and how their bodies handle the cold. Then again I taught for the freezer but same would apply for those temps. But something I always recommend for any environment would be composite toe shoes. Not as heavy as steel toe and it also doesn’t get as cold as steel toe. Make sure it is a shoe and not a boot. You want to stay as flexible and light as possible to perform this work.
Just stay motivated, that’s the best advice I could give all my trainees. Also know that it is a skill that requires a lot of cases and going through the picking motions a lot to get good at it. Always think about efficiency. Many selectors waste too much time with the amount of steps they take, how fast they get in and out of the pick slot, time from their last pick slot to their next. Efficiency is king, stacking technique will develop with time.
I had this job in 2000 at a very young age, made decent money but had no life at all. No weekends off, never 2 days off in a row, had wed and fri off. I was as strong as bull but nowadays there too much opportunities to be working like this. Boring too, repetitive, its all muscle memory no brain.
I work on a reach truck in a freezer currently at -20 the best way to get through these jobs is to have a purpose when going to work. Know that this job is not going to last you forever its hard on the body and mind but if you go in there with a mindset of being the best worker and moving up or sayin u will be there for 2-3 years to get your money up or eliminate debt it becomes easier. Stay warm and good luck to all
Im just starting as reach truck operator in -20 . The only way to get experience :/
What is it possible to move up to tho might as well stay here after 2-3 years, and you still working on a reach truck
@@ohworrrd9830 yes I’m still in the freezer it’s year 3 for me I’m currently making $25n hr in the Indianapolis area. Staying here long term was never my plan though I was paying off debt and saving 5-6 months on emergency funds. I now have a business I run on the side. I’ve started to invest my money into real estate and I’ve bought a couple atms that I’ve put in barbershops I’m making a little over 1200 a month off of these assets. I’m going to keep investing in real estate until I have enough properties to cover all my monthly expenses and then I will be leaving my company here for good and just focus on my business and no longer the owners in which I’m working for now
Best advice ever I started as a order selector when i turned 20 I instantly knew what kind of position those jobs were expected of. First job i lasted 3 yrs before the company got bought out and went too shit and hrs got cut then I went to a new job where I lasted 6 yrs and had to leave because my health was not at is best that job honestly used up my body like nothing and I was top picker overall in that warehouse for quite awhile until I couldnt no more... Basically Im saying is when you at these jobs is get your paper up pay off your debt and get the fuck out of that job because being a order selector once your older isnt going to be pretty
Yes bro your absolutely right. I literally try to be better everyday. It’s my second month selecting and I’m glad I finally complete orders pass the 100% range. The checks make me smile and is also another motivation to get the job done! Nice video 💪🏾

Go get a real job. This is slave work
this guy is picking in quick succession and making great use of the jack coast functionality. very well done
brandon9689 He is picking more efficient then people think. Some little areas could use improvement. You don’t have to move fast to be fast.
Proper jack placement, knowing where your next case is going to go before you even grab it, now that’s fast.
He's also not following proper warehouse safety, 'hopping off the jack while it's in motion' and 'standing in front of the machine while he's making it go'.. granted he's pretty quick, I foresee an accident soon with this guy.
Thanks to shitty, surreal production standards of course. Blame the company for this shit, not the worker.
Gee Qew Its impossible to follow safety standards and run enough production to make you're incentive. I've tried and I can only run a 105 "safely". At the DC where I work, 130% is the goal, that's the cap for incentive pay. Wanna make that $300-$500 extra a week? Fuck the rules. Watch out for Assest Protection.

Orderfilled nights for 2 years before becoming a night shift loader for 3 more. Orderfilling put me in the best shape of my life. Loading kept me there. Orderfilling in the heat of summer will teach you a lot about yourself. Watching 20 people come in as new hires and seeing all but 2 quit within a month. Knowing that you're the only one from your new hire class still there 5 years later. Takes a certain kind of person to do this and it gets old the older you get.

To all those moaning about guy jumping off, clearly never worked in warehouses where you get in trouble if you don't achieve your targets. A lot of people jump off at my place, if you follow the rules and do it safely, you may as well start looking for another job as you may not stay long as your performance will be reflected in that.
He wastes alot of time walking around the rc and saying again alot. 5 mins could make a difference.

I've been selecting for around 8 years. Been at Sysco, GFS, CVS, and US Foods. If you want to do this type of work, just go to Sysco and make as much as you can. GFS is a close second but CVS and US Foods is garbage. Turnover in this field is crazy. Every warehouse has their own culture but generally, you don't even take time to know someone's name until they make rate(100% Production).
My biggest gripe about this job is the treatment. They treat you like a low-class worker and refuse to see it as skilled labor. Then they complain about people not making rate or walking out of the job during a busy thursday shift. There's a new trend all these companies are trying to pull. Calling us "Industrial Athletes" or "Get Paid to Work Out". Bitch, please. Pay me like one of these professional athletes or cut the crap.
That being said, I like picking. I take pride in my boards(pallets) and have passed my running days. It really depends on the comp plan of the company whether running is worth it or not. At Sysco, you're making bank. They feed you, they pay you well, they have good jacks and keep them maintained. But they hired you to pick and you will pick your ass off. At CVS and US Foods, they want to you be janitors, wrappers, piece pickers(fake selectors), battery technicians, and other bullshit they can find if it can save them a buck. It's all bullshit to cut cost. These are some of the things new selectors need to watch out for.
Pay in this industry is going up, but slowly. Lots of managers I've talked to simply say, "The new generation of kids don't want to work." I call bullshit. Old or young, we all want to make money but one thing's for sure, younger guys have more opportunities. Why break your back in 5 years picking cases when you can go to school, get an IT degree, and smoke guys in the warehouse? My current company spends 6-8 grand on each new hire. That includes all the training, drug/background testing, etc. All for these guys to quit in 2 weeks. Hmmm, how about spending those 6-8 grand and paying the current selectors who actually want to stay? It's part ego-driven. Upper management can't stand seeing guys on the floor making more money than them. Well, they should get off their lazy asses and pick some cases then.
Lastly, I believe it would take 50-100 years before we even worry about automation. Amazon is at the head of this "problem" but that's because they have the money to spend. That also doesn't affect "real" selectors aka case-pickers. Building warehouses to accommodate machines is a lot tougher and more expensive than humans and it will be a long time before this field stops existing. The pressure of newer bodies not wanting to work this job, along with the high turnover have slowly pushed for better pay. Just don't utter the word "Union" or you'll quickly find yourself on the shit-list.
Badass info bro. Lots of truth right there. The thing about "industrial athletes" (lol that's a new one) is most are on Tramadol or some other pain killer.
Have you worked in zenith logistics (KDC )??
I worked at US foods and it was garbage brother. They set you up to fail. They didn't even take the time to train us, just showed us a couple videos on day 1 and on day 2 let us run wild without any knowledge. We had to literally figure it out and ask the veterans there when they had a spare second or two to share some secrets with us to make the rate. The headsets never worked, the same with the ryder jacks. We also had to also carry a stack of order stickers as we drove to apply on the product. We had a lot of people from Sysco come in as well. Worse thing is, is that I was being overworked and hurt my back one night selecting. I had a week off and they still tried to get me in for light duty. I refused and upon my return got fired! Fucken pussies, a week before I got hurt they told me they knew they were overworking me including the other two new guys and they were gonna let us go home after 8 completed hours so we don't burnout. And look what happened lol.
If I went back to selecting I know I would make the rate this time. Yea the work is for true warriors but what makes it hard is the graveyard schedule. It interferes with your relationships. If it were during the day even if it were 12 hrs I'd be back no question.
Currently working at Stop and Shop where it's local 25, Teamsters. Shits cash, union makes sure there's money, healthcare, and pension so all I really worry about is selecting right. Honestly not bad at all working there, but since it is union literally everything operates off seniority. Plenty of o.t., plenty of benefits, and plenty of money. Can't really complain
dude im late saying this but your so fucking right i respect your comment nough said just to let you know im 170% at what i do and i feel im been cheated but thats me peace god bless....
I was a order slector for 5 years and can speak for myself stay away from these type of jobs get a CDL or something else there is no future in these type of jobs. Companies only see you as a number and after you get hurt burn out they will fire you in a heart beat. I worked 16 hours shifts in busy season there was no regular time to clock out from 1:30pm until the job was done some times 9:00 am and we still had to come in the same day. They would give you a write up if you fail to keep the average rate no matter how many hours you worked. fking nuts the money was good but your back can only hold so much beating until it gives out.
Exactly bro. I did that shit for 14 years good money good memories. But hard on your body and lots of stress that comes along with it.

@@charliedays
You're right. There are millions upon millions of people worldwide with low-skill jobs who are doing it for one reason or another. That reason, more often than not, isn't because they're unintelligent. Anyone can fall on hard times and everyone doesn't live in the same set of circumstances, so to call someone unintelligent because they don't have a fancy job title is stupid.
Good luck to you if you're doing this.. i quit after six months. I don't believe most of these people commenting on youtube about how they are hitting 130% -200%.. that's bullshit unless you're packing totes or something because if you're building pallets on double pallet jacks you'll be lucky to hit 100s. The only guys hitting 100+ are Union guys who get the easy stuff (but they paid their dues). I've seen the list showing people's production many times, not ONE hitting 100, mostly in the 70s and 80s. Even Union guys' list you see maybe a third hitting 100s.. barely. Freezer guys its a different story. Anyways prepare to work til 7am, 16 hour shifts, sleep 4 hours and get back to work.. although that happened to me only a couple times.
I've never been so depressed but had so much money in my life. 10grand in the bank account depressed as hell my entire life revolved around that warehouse.

I can't do that shit, but you do what you gotta do i guess. anyways good luck if you're looking in to this
I've been doing it for almost 2 months now for HEB already looking for another job screw this although the money is good but still I already feel depressed about it and manu friends of mine have done it as well and ended up leaving but my respect to those who actually go far with it though
Yeah they try to sell you on it having “great pay” but it’s really not “great”. If you are a single 23 year old guy with no kids and minimal expenses, you’ll have more money than you know what to do with. Imo this is why it’s easy for people to get caught up in the pay, as you’re easily making much more money than a lot of people your age you know who are just starting off in their careers. There are guys who can pull 200’s and make ridiculous money doing it but those guys are few and far between and the average selector is anywhere between an 80 and a 150 which is a range of about 16 an hour to 30 an hour. Honestly from what I’ve seen most guys never make it higher than 120-130 no matter how long they do it, it’s almost physically impossible. The older you get the more of an average paying job it becomes, most people your age are making as much as you to do a lot less work, the only difference is you’re still doing the intense labor. Most of the people that say they “like it” are also not telling you the truth from what I’ve seen. People will say that but then bid into other jobs right after they say that. Overall it’s a really good temporary job, especially when you’re younger, but as a long term job it’s fairly dead end.
@@psychoticninja100 I’m 26 and I only got a car to pay for and my phone bill. That’s the only expenses I have honestly.. so this job will definitely help with that plus I’ll be able to stack. I don’t see this as long term but just long enough to stack and pay off debt

Yall stack pallets and dont spill em while riding? And have someone reading picks?? The riders at my job all have chewed up wheels that are heard across the freezer, and we read our orders from paper, turning pages in bulky ass gloves. Wild. Btw Any glove recommendations? I drive a reach in a freezer thats neg 20 so I extreme durability isnt a big factor. Im rocking the green rag wool thinsulate refridiwear gloves ATM. They hold up fine but arent quite warm enough
where I pick it's all high quantity picks. your pallet is complete after stopping in 2 to 6 locations because each stop you are picking multiple layers of the same case. they even disabled coast function on our Jacks. it's more of a hazard than a benefit when every stop you pick 20 to 120 cases. but when your doing all pick 1's coast is key
That must be nice, our orders only go out like that during holidays, but during the regular year you can stop at as many as 200 locations for two full pallets. Lots of tiny shit cases like chocolates, cigarettes and tobacco. I hate stacking small crap like that.
Would have loved that. EVERY order we picked had about a hundred different types of product/case/size/shape. Often more than a hundred.
I’m a new hire been working there 3 weeks( in grocery so I deal with 3 pallets 2 now) since I’m training. But I’m no where near that high in production( if your pallet is at a standstill your not producing my trainer said). I just wanna know what it takes to get that fast I’m still learning stacking and it’s a lot tbh. Which items go there and how to create an nice even pallet? Any tips and tricks is well appreciated( I love the job and it seems like it’s not the worst) lmao!!
With experience you’ll become faster. That’s really it
Does Sysco allow you to pull extra shifts? Can you offer to come in on your scheduled days off?
Order Selection is a trade , I been with GFS for 9 years now , We all know how hard is the order selection position ...... thanks to order selection
It was possible to make 120 k in one
Year overtime was there and of course INCENTIVE paid per case selected.
Worked as Order Selector for about 5 years , definitely I missed the chance to make real money!!!
damn Gordon is paying like that? I worked with a guy at C&S that made 120 in a year but that was on SWAT all year long. The most I made there was almost 70 but that was in my own warehouse all year and i only ran for 7-8 of those montha
It’s all about time management and efficiency. Get your order quickly, sign on quickly, get good pallets quickly, know the shortest routes to your state aisle, looking for the next pick slot when you are picking the previous case. Know where you can make time, and where running like crazy is feasible. I’ve worked for the same company for 7 years now, I’ve picked all parts of the warehouse from grocery to freezer. The guys who “run around like nuts” never last, and if they do, they’re on light duty half the year from having a fucked up back. Believe me, trying to get done so you can piss off in the break room every night takes its toll on your body in a short amount of time. We had to pick 443 minutes in 8 hours, and I would make sure to be going fast enough to get done, but not so fast as to injure myself. I also tried to pick my orders and always have my jack moving when in coast mode. If you can do that and still get cases stacked and moved onto the next pick slot, you’re golden.
Yeah work smarter, not harder
Yeah I work at sysco and they have treated me good I make great money I love it good opportunities with sysco I know guys that be 180 or up making great money just gotta take care of your body good sleep stay focused get lost in the sauce executed and home then all over again

Dang, how do you know what to pick?
I, too is a Order Selector for Giant Food in Jessup, Maryland (talkman, louder, Ready, Say it Again)
$60,000 a year to be an order picker?!! That's £46,000 here and order pickers are lucky if they get more than £20,000 a year, and that includes frozen ambient.
bringerofrage It's -20f not -20c. Equates close to -29c
Most of the order selector jobs get paid pretty good. Problem is, it is a very physical job that most people aren’t prepared for. It’s typically paid based off performance, so that could be the difference of making $15 an hour to $32 an hour.
Freezer pay typically is only about .50¢ extra an hour.
It's thanks to Unions that they still make so much.
when this dude came back from work he can barley stand up because of exhausting . his knees will hurt and his back.
We have to get 80items a hour to keep the job and 120+ a hour to get a bonus witch put u around 17$ a hour. We also have to scan the barcode above the item and sticker the box
Target its 200 pieces an hour 2000 pieces for the whole day at a 10 hour shift.
But we get 21 bucks an hour
Hey bro the pattern number line is hard for me and I didn’t pass my loading freight test in the beginning of orientation they make you take tests bro I failed them physically I can do the job I just don’t have the brain to do it numbers never been my thing any tips
You guys every wake up in the middle of the night saying " say again"? Haha or is it just me
Zavala's Garage yup, say again, where am I, Jennifer repeat. Lol
Oh yeah. When I first started for few days later. I do that in my sleep. Lmfao! Finally that was over. It was torture. Lmfao
I'm still stuck in the cooler. there's one order we pull that no matter how many times we tell them, they won't fix it. it's a cheesecake batch. 120 cases on one pallet. so heavy it caves in on itself. no matter how you stack it. got one today. 117 cases with 24.5 minute goal time. stacked it perfect. wrapped it several times still. second to last aisle the cases started collapsing. grabbed last case and as I was headed out. she started leaning more and more. then boom. entire order flopped over. that's the cooler for you. p.s. think they'll fix it now. lol
dang lol. Every warehouse has that fucked up order.. slap some card board on every edge and wrap the shit out of it lol. #SaveTheCheeseCake !
+sam art lol what I did was try to level the weight out. make sure the weight was dispersed evenly through the pallet.(of course killing my time but with this batch nobody cares about anything but getting it to the door.) then I pu cardboard down and wrapped it after the third aisle. thing was squared out gorgeous looking and chest height. but wrapped it tight. then every few aisles i wrapped again. by the last aisle it was I'd say...7 feet high. all chicken, bout 60 cases of 58 pound chicken. 10 cases of 24 dozen eggs, milk, creamer, lord knows what else. I think the lightest case I pick on that order is 40 pounds. anyway, like I said, I literally just, caves in. I'll have to snag a picture of one sometime. or get yall a video.
+Buk Lulu lol dumb part timer? you might be the dumb cause you either didn't read or can't read. it's called, I don't get to pick what I select first. it's called you can't stack meat on top of anything, meat has to go on bottom. so nearly hollow meat boxed with about 80 more cases of 50+ pounds stacked on it, it's gonna eventually give in. so as Sam and I said, it's called poor batch design. shut your mouth and stop trying to act like you know. I'm a dumb rookie? your 1 comment alone told me a lot about you, including that you have either never selected or are sorry as hell.
+Buk Lulu lol I'm not even gonna waste my time with you man. you really just said make a 1 pallet order 2 pallets? nice. so when they go to load it they'll just send that extra pallet the next day. customer can wait for the other half of their order. out excuse would be that the extra pallet wouldn't fit in the truck so give us a break. haha . you must be slow as hell.
+Buk Lulu oh my. you're just like the rest. get off their probation a
period and now your are a pro. lol 2 years?! nice! (sarcasm). and you can walk with machine behind you. it's called being kn one side. dude, are you serious or are you getting your info from websites and have never selected before? lol sam, this guy's is a joke
How do you know the correct product is in the slot with no labels? Lol
I work at Americold for 2 years now. It’s been very very bad, not because of anything about selecting but it’s the fact that we get sent home when there’s no more work. Sometimes 4 hours into our shift sometimes 6 sometimes 3. It sucks.
Man I do this for a smaller ice cream company and we don't get paid shit ($10/hr to start, with vets not even getting to $18), and our work environment is insanely unsafe. Our racking is broken, frost everywhere (some places the roof leaks so we get ice mountains). I broke my ankle last summer because the throttle on a jack stuck AND it had no brakes engage when the handles lifted so boom there went my ankle between it and a high lift at full speed. Only reason I work there is because it's the best summer job I can find while in college.
Jacob Daubenmire how did you keep warm im taking a similar job
Tom CFC Well the best thing is dress in layers because if you work hard enough you might find you get hot and you definitely don't wanna sweat in a freezer environment. If your hands get cold what I did was purchase a smaller pair of gloves to go under my big ones. Other than that it just depends on the nature of your work whether you will get really cold or not.
Jacob Daubenmire Im not sure of the exact tempreture but I think it will be similar to this video,
Ill for sure make sure I wear double gloves and layers. Hopefully wearing a wolly hat is fine
Tom CFC Yeah I wore a hat like the guy in the video but if it's really cold you may want a hooded sweatshirt you can add to keep your neck warm. We didn't have headsets like they do so it wasn't difficult to put a hoodie on and take it off really quickly. Anyways best of luck it isn't all that bad once you're accustomed to it! That is as long as your work environment is safe anyways lol
Wow, that’s horrible pay. Definitely look for competitors because that pay is way too low.
The warehouse i worked in was -50 in meat and dairy and -25 in bakery. I dont miss the job, only miss being paid each week. Some of my shifts were over 24hrs straight, it was a cold nightmare of a job for a kid out of highschool
You're a liar lmao
@@grxwcannabis my mans said 24 hrs straight inna freezer 😂
@@brandonnorris5996 🤣 fr bruh. 1 most freezers are only -10 to -25f. And 2 if my fuking supervisors had me selecting for more than 14 hours I'd just clock out and go home 🤣 they ain't loading me up like that. 24 hours that's damn near 7k cases for me
FL-DC Freezer is -5 max and cooler is around 30 or so. But c’mon meat and dairy AT NEGATIVE FIFTY…
@@Rya1739 big facts
Anybody worked at kroger ralphs DC if so what are the hours like do you get hours starting off
Late as well but was curious on how picking with headset was. Im use to picking with a paper sheet.
Computer woman tells u what aisle to go to and what slot to go to, u read a 3 digit check string and she verifies it and tells u how many to pick
there's nothing like a scanner at the wrist, it talks to you, and shows you exactly what it is shows the number of cases, and what they are shit I couldn't imagine doing it with paper or headset that is horrible
I love this kind of work pallet jack is the funnest part of my day riding around on it I pick fast production rate be like 173%
RICO DA DON Not bad, but percentages can vary greatly from warehouse to warehouse. I seen people come from warehouses pulling 210% to around 150% at another. Same amount of effort just different time given for the job.
73 over is awesome! I run between 55-70 over all the time depending on how I slept
Freddy krueger Wow that’s nice, how many cubes are the pallets?
Don't lie..all u love is the money u make there.but the job is suck HORRIBLE ridiculous for dumb.not for human being. Don't be a fool.
My official job title is Industrial Athlete , i work in the freezer -30 we have automated hilo robots actually . and I get paid Piece Rate .16 cent per case i touch . touch 1500 cases in 6 hours
What place you work at
Got any tips
this is what they call freezer selector?
Great job buddy….. for those of us that still make money out of “order selector” and 13+ hours a day 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Made 70k in this field last year. Covid helped A LOT. Worked 70-80 hours a week for about 7-8 months straight. Fuck the freezer though. Waaaay to cold for me.
You left?
@@MrEpikmax Yes, I got my CDL! Far better money, and it’s waaay better on my back!
@@navybluee128 nice congrats ✅, I’m gonna look into that
@@MrEpikmax it’s a great gig. Especially if you can get into buying your own tractor!
Is this a Kroger warehouse? Reminds me a lot like the one I worked in .
I start at Kroger this week how was your experience?
I just started a job like that but we have pallet Jack's we ride on. I'm looking for warm boots but able to work 10-13hours in... -10 to -30
Whatever you do, DO NOT skimp on boots. Go with Timberlands or Merrels. Cheap boots will give your aching feet and will disintegrate with this type of work.
in -30 freezer whats the best shoes to wear for men??? average 10 hrs a day!!
sam art thanks!!
Definitely wear a safety toe shoe. Look for shoes that have composite toe, which is a hard plastic that is lighter and doesn’t get as cold as metal. Reebok typically has a good selection with a good amount of grip (important so you’re not sliding in the freezer)
Sneakers or hikers (if allowed) with composite toes with quality wool socks. Don't be cheap the socks.
Senai Acosta eh...it depends on your tolerance I work in a -30 degree freezer and i wear 1 pear of socks and Winchester muck boots
Just steel toes and some wool socks. You're spending half your time hopping on the pallet jack, so your feet aren't actually too cold.
I work for save a lot dc, u can make 70,000 with over time and perfect attendance. Our top selectors make about $27 an hour.
What company sysco
What company is this??? What is the name of the company??
I'm going through a transition in life and am considering a physical job since office work has made me overweight. So you think someone in their 40s can be a order selector?
Not a chance
It's a young person's job really. I was expected to do it when I was 50+. Not for me. Thankfully I got trained up on reach trucks
i work in the freezer at mclane, we use double jacks
which mclane are at?
Then How u feel it's too difficult or not
Donnell Taylor denver for me
Sysco and Kroger use triple jacks
I worked for mclane in newnan, we were the worst mclane in al dcs lol highest turn ovr rate too. i ended up leaving after seven months, nnot cause of job, mainly management was very bad
This looks like Walmart. I worked at Walmart DC before and every case looks the same.
Was it shit for u too
Hell yeah I pick perishable side too no freezer suit tho moving to much.
Is that mclane MBM . Cause that’s where I work now
Use every corner of the pallet
SEND ME HOME NOW! lol 🤣🤣🤣
This job will numb your mind after a while. Seriously, only go to it as a LAST RESORT
I work as an order selector at Sysco. We have printers and scanners, we label each package, and I'm picking around 700 cases a night. Some guys are at 1000-1500. It's not a bad job, I just look at it as 10 hours at the gym. It really is crazy how quick you have to be, and it's more exhausting than concrete work, that's for sure.
I made the comparison to concrete work because I've done it before, and is regarded as one of the most physically demanding occupations
Justin Kesner I've done masonry work in Tucson AZ in summer 110°. Carrying cinder blocks all day. This order selecting is more demanding physically for sure
Justin Kesner what company u work for
David Cobarruvias Sysco
Damn at pepsi we have to reach 200 cases per hour i been hitting 220 with 1600 cases a night 10 hour shift
Someone told me that working in a freezer is bad for you're body. Is it true?
what is not bad for your body in 2019?
ps : ofc it is, it can severely damage some of ur internal organs
I lost 75 lbs in less than a year doing this. Built muscle, too. But, working in a freezer can be PAINFUL, especially when your sweat starts to freeze and it feels like your hands and feet are being stabbed.
I just started 27.30 10-12 hour shifts not bad I might still do small concrete jobs with home owners only tax free
yo what job are you picking at???
🎧Say it again😂
no bs the warehouse be ducking the trailer up for the driver at Mclane
Hell yeah. I see the McClain candy pallets. Looks like every pallet is about to tip over. Barley any shrink rap. And stacked so high you can barely get it off the truck.
Hey guys i work at same temp. Can anyone tell me how long you are inside and out?
Depends on the size of the order.at times 15-30 mins or a very large order can be up to 50 mins
@@christioherstorer9480 And if an entire pallet of frozen meat or french fries should happen to fall from the upper racks and leave a pile of debris in the middle of the lane, and you have to clean it up.... you are in for a loooonngggg c-c-c-coooold day.

I worked freezer and in pack off at 32 degrees all the time..I loved my job and cant stand to work in amy other setting warehouses like the hot or even air conditioned ...too much dust..atleast in a cold setting the dust is frozen..lol
What do you wear in the 32 degree? I'm starting in 2 in produce/meat: 29-32 degrees Fahrenheit
FitMotivation it depends on how hard you work. If you’re moving fast you won’t want many layers. If you’re new, you probably will start off with quite a few.
I always taught my trainees to over dress in layers then take some layers off as they find out what works perfect for them based off their work style and how their bodies handle the cold. Then again I taught for the freezer but same would apply for those temps.
But something I always recommend for any environment would be composite toe shoes. Not as heavy as steel toe and it also doesn’t get as cold as steel toe. Make sure it is a shoe and not a boot. You want to stay as flexible and light as possible to perform this work.
it's -30 at my job lol
My job is -20 and I just wear a t shirt and 1 hoodie
Maybe double up on socks thought
I start my first day tomorrow doing this kind of work
MrDemonicTaco N good luck man, let me know how it goes
Scott Murray its hard as hell. Ive dropped a lot of my stacks and almost quit a lot. But i stuck with it and got fulltime
Just stay motivated, that’s the best advice I could give all my trainees. Also know that it is a skill that requires a lot of cases and going through the picking motions a lot to get good at it.
Always think about efficiency. Many selectors waste too much time with the amount of steps they take, how fast they get in and out of the pick slot, time from their last pick slot to their next.
Efficiency is king, stacking technique will develop with time.
I was in the fridge. Im got a bid in the freezer now.
@@mrdemonictaco5879 You still there? Im about to start this kind of work
I had this job in 2000 at a very young age, made decent money but had no life at all. No weekends off, never 2 days off in a row, had wed and fri off. I was as strong as bull but nowadays there too much opportunities to be working like this. Boring too, repetitive, its all muscle memory no brain.
What company is this?
Bruh this shit use to be fun but I got back problems from it
