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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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
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!
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.
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🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I started out in the unload and got moved over to preload after one night. UPS started on call air and I got in to the first roster of part time drivers with a DOT card. Back then I was preloading a 5 car load then had to jump into browns to deliver on call by 8AM.
That became the Early AM service. Once that service became stable I was moved to Gateway Operations to process inbound flights from SDF and occasional charter flights. Theres a lot more to brown than just picking up and delivering pkgs…
A small town station nearby me in Missouri is hiring, the choices are 430am- 930am or 5pm - 10pm. Which is better or whats the difference? Im leaning to mornings so I can get it over with and have my day, but I have always worked nights in the past and I don't really wanna get up early altho the station is literally 1 mile from my house.
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.
He's probably never really loaded a day in his life! Just another brain washed sup... who thinks they know it all. I've been doing preload 10yrs and my sup has been there 2 maybe, and she tells me all the time I'm not doing things right. But yet my drivers love when I load cause the stuff is right where their diad says it is and I took the time when I started to listen to the drivers to figure out 1,2,3,4 etc stops. I make their day sooo much easier. Why would anyone wanna be a sup?? Preload people make way more money and have much better benefits.
***** I did a year for preload and a year and a half for local sort. Made some okay money and got my college paid for, but the sups are just shit. One of my first sups moved shifts and they promoted one of the women I worked with and she went from nice to being an ass to all of us working the sort. All I know is that UPS is a shitty environment.
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.
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.
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 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!!
Dirty Dan ---- it’s going good, getting used to the graveyard hours. And my body is adjusting to the constant lifting. Money is good. Co workers are cool. All in all I’m happy at UPS.
Is it really this easy? I start next week Monday I have heard nothing but horror stories about building the wall, getting screamed at left and right and misloads. The way you explain this is really easy it makes me less anxious but I feel like it is too good to be true. I ended up being stuck with a loader job when I wanted to be an unloader since there is less thinking behind it.
yea how's it going so far? my brother worked for almost a year as a package handler for ups. now I got him to convert over with me to the good side with the usps as a cca. he said that it was too much work for meager pay. especially because he was on the busiest trailer (black belt).
Depends on the building. My building doesn't have a set up like this, they have a main belt it comes down and you pick it off the belt yourself. You also are expected to work at a much MUCH more frantic pace and it causes a lot of miss loads.
Those long package cars are too easy to load. I had to load the short ones where you had to step up to get in. Also with the bulk truck you have to climb in and out and stack your packages in different piles.
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.
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!
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?
We always throw the irregulars in at the end of the day for my hub lol also they definitely had the sorters stop sending shit to the belt or something for the video 🤣🤣
Wow this setup beats catching packages off the conveyor belt moving super fast and then having to load everything across 3 trucks.
Just boutta say that
I loaded 4 trucks, 1300 packs. now I'm a driver after 4 months. I love this job.
courtney muse work in a cube job and feel like I'm losing my mind.. really thinking about just working at ups paying my dues and be a driver!

Eddie Guizar - I thought Drivers get paid the most?
dsgb1981 They do, that doesn't mean the job is very desirable to me at least.
Missed the 6k and 7k shelf...put the RDL at the RDR....let the preloader do his job and you just watch your computer in the office buddy
thats a light ass truck. Our trucks are filled to the brim every fucking day!!!!!!
wow that is a really nice facility, a lot better than having every package roll down the belt.
Fr🤣
LMAO. That' nice. Because there is always that much time to get packages into the trucks.
Nice and easy lolol
Obviously it was done on break cause the truck is half loaded and the belts are not running. Good time to make a video
On break

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.

funny thing is everything i ordered off amazon was delivered by ups except my TV was delivered by FedEx
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.
If only my hub was this slow...
I thought the same, but it looks like they are at the end of the shift. The shelves are pretty much full already.

Where is the flow? Ive been preloading for 22 years. Never had any time like that. 4 trucks 1400 pieces non stop
I just started preloading and I really want to get better. I'd love to pick your brain if you happen to see this comment. 22 years is impressive!
There is a busted open Hazmat at 4:05. Where's your responder?!?
Damn we have conveyor belts at my hub, preload doesn’t have the slide while loading trucks, they come down a belt and you load em in.

"Get a nice optimum carry" .. misloads while working extremely slow ,
Ups is a rough job keeping up with them items but it's just that much easier to lose track of one as well. I'm late 2 days on a 2 day air shipping.
So it's important to bend the knees because you play basketball, got it!
marsdog what a JOKE
The supervisor wanted everybody watching this video that THAT THIS OTHER GUY IS HIS EMPLOYEE 😂 MAIN REASON I WOULD QUIT A JOB. “FRONTING”
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.
You can use the rest room during break time.
At min 1:15 he loads 7017 at the 5000 shelf .
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.
Hisand
great video, just started 4 days and your examples are helpful..
Yo why he put 7 in the 5 and then a 8 in the 7 lmao
Nothing like my living hell
Manny gonna need those benefits for the back surgery he will inevitably have in a few years
That's awesome load, if that's my work every day I love UPS not that I don't
Bro that's so easy 👌 thank you UPS 😎
Adrian Morales no it’s not
You make it look easy! I’m starting next week. Hope I will can do good like Manny.
Would Manny be proud?
@@Whoooodie Manny ended up quitting after 2 months
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
Same here. I start at 6am. I don't think I want to be a pre loader after watching this. I would rather be a unloader.
what number do you write on the boxes? this video is informative, but hard to see details
1:24 did I just hear the old Yahoo jingle? LOL
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!!
try 4 industrial trucks 1.5k packages
That dude put a 7000 on the 5s shelf smh smh
I just got hired as a preloader, i start 11/19/2018. I live in WA . looking forward to it. thanks for the insight
VaNDaL253 hows it going?
Dirty Dan ---- it’s going good, getting used to the graveyard hours. And my body is adjusting to the constant lifting. Money is good. Co workers are cool. All in all I’m happy at UPS.
What city? I'm thinking of applying as a preloader in the Puyallup location. How has it been so far?
Also, what was your hourly start rate? I heard it's $15/hr? $14hr + $1.00 for preloaders
I woulda told him get tf away from me
Hahaha. He put the 7710 on the 5000 shelf. That'll piss off your driver easily
Ups package handler is terrible it's so hard and it's just too much
Is it really this easy? I start next week Monday I have heard nothing but horror stories about building the wall, getting screamed at left and right and misloads. The way you explain this is really easy it makes me less anxious but I feel like it is too good to be true. I ended up being stuck with a loader job when I wanted to be an unloader since there is less thinking behind it.
so how's it going so far?
yea how's it going so far? my brother worked for almost a year as a package handler for ups. now I got him to convert over with me to the good side with the usps as a cca. he said that it was too much work for meager pay. especially because he was on the busiest trailer (black belt).
when you mentioned building walls your probably in the back loading the feeder tailers this is the preloading position.
Depends on the building. My building doesn't have a set up like this, they have a main belt it comes down and you pick it off the belt yourself. You also are expected to work at a much MUCH more frantic pace and it causes a lot of miss loads.
your doing the loading and that shit fucking sucks. good luck
no scanning packages?? cant be true.
Right!!!!!!!!
Some facilities still don’t have scanners 😂
That's what up;)! Nice video
You know how we do it.
Starting tomorrow bright and early at 4 AM, oh boy
was a good day, got behind near the end but caught up fairly quickly.
Those long package cars are too easy to load. I had to load the short ones where you had to step up to get in. Also with the bulk truck you have to climb in and out and stack your packages in different piles.
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.
Good luck, I start tomorrow lol
@@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.
Yeah it wasn’t bad, my feet were hurting, so I had to take my shoes back
Do the numbers go up to 8000? So that means he put the 8400 box on the 3000 shelf because the 8000 shelf is full?
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. 😅😂
Nice. Just got hired in this position. Will keep it for a long time.
+MIZZIJR How is it? I just applied? Is it really hard? Hows the pay?
+Bla Blah its about 11/hr. Not hard. just tedious and consistent. you get breaks. its over in no time.
MIZZIJR wow 11/hr? I read on the website each weekly check is 140 a week. That's weird. But wow, thanks
+Bla Blah im in GA. So it could be because im in a state that gets a lot of traffic.. people as well as packages..
+Bla Blah Hartsfeild-Jackson is the busiest airport in the world. So we in fact do get more traffic in terms of people. Boxes is anybody's guess
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!
good job when u drop a package?
Im doing preload . Im just started yesterday still in the training part . I need help i got to learn the 4 keys
+G.O.A.T nice. Best of luck 👍🏿
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?
@@adamsapple1982 u stilll there?
We always throw the irregulars in at the end of the day for my hub lol also they definitely had the sorters stop sending shit to the belt or something for the video 🤣🤣
I start in the Petaluma location in north cal next week I hope it’s not a major hub but I’m prepared for the worse
