Brov, you need to make a whole series. This is fantastic information and it has really changed the game for me as a pre loader. New hires can definitely benefit from this wisdom because getting stuck with a trainer that may be good or a veteran but comes with a nasty attitude or thinks your just another number hired till you get fired is not it. I have great supervisors but I've seen my fellow new hires get thrown to the wolves and it's sink of swim in less than 10mins according to their logic. Thank you so much, really appreciate you taking the time out to do this video.
eh 2 months in and thats not realistic literally had one day with less then 100 in a truck but i usually have 300 in 1 250 in the other 2 and alot of bulk stops and shit in the middle because its too big and heavy to go anywhere else or theres no room
Start my Pre-Load job Thursday. Making $21 an hour, only 17 hours a week for the Union. They call you every morning to say if they need you or not depending on Volume.
Best tips from me 1. Keep long and heavy irregs out til the end. 2. Put bulk stops on floor, preferably towards the back, even if it's sheeted in front 3. Tighten up while loading, play Tetris, doesn't have to be in perfect order, the driver will find a 6500 in the 6000 Bottom line: your trucks will never have this much space... prepare for a full load with tires piling to the top shelf
I do a full walkthrough/accounting of the load if the driver actually shows up on time and makes an appearance. I leave a full accounting letting the driver know what hins are in the MFL/MFR/RDC of the truck so if it's saturated/buried they don't have to hunt for the package. I tape all boxes that need it and add cautions like heavy/sharp/fragile, especially if I had to bandage a box with scrap cardboard to ensure their safety. I put light/small rdr/rdl/mfl/mfr/rdc on the shelf to make way for a heavy package like a generator when it comes down, and then will leave notes for anomalies/heavy packages. I also use descriptions, so 6200 = Carpet RDC, so they'll know when searching for that hin right where it is. Bulk locations, adjustments based on sizing/weights. Descriptions of odd packages like mufflers, pipes, ladders, shovels, etc. If I get a stray heavy 5k/7k, I'll put them in the 2000/4000 spot and leave notes, to make it more convenient for them when lifting and so it's right there and not in the middle of a saturated load, in case they deliver it earlier on. All of this wrapped up in a neat template/cheat sheet for the drivers convenience. I also supply an energy drink if I have an extra one with me. And the drivers treat me like shit, come in while I'm preloading and flip all the boxes over hiding the hins/pals that I spent all day organizing. Take the small rdr/rdl's and throw them on the ground all pissed off, even though I probably have something heavy coming before the end of the day, and I'll have to pick them back up. And then they complain to a supervisor because a box is behind another box, even though it's always in sequential order (according to the hins/route). Your example about clearing the trip hazards and putting the boxes parallel to the walkway, it's what I do. And I make it obvious with a marker what the hin is so they are all accounted for and very obvious to see, and never bury one that may be a struggle to pull out and over from other boxes. So that's nice and all, but the drivers treat loaders like garbage. And that lip load will slip back onto the shelf if it doesn't have the perfect weight/length, and then the top box will end up on the ground. I don't know why drivers act like that isn't going to happen, it does, and then you'll have to reload your shelves on the side of a highway. Bags are also susceptible of falling off/over, and a strain to try to balance them on a lip between boxes, especially when putting in a new bag/box and having to separate/squeeze them into place. They are more secure behind the box and can be used as tensioners to spring load boxes into the shelves for a more rigid load, which is necessary when pushing the limits of a trucks capacity.
my drivers tell me I'm doing good but they will organize it themselves because they know their routes and the numbers on the shelves don't always benefit them.
yea they all have there diffrent ways of loading like some drivers help you in creating a better load but also they go around checking for misloads before they leave
Clarksville is a fictional town used in the fictionalized videos that UPS puts out. They think that fiction videos can make drivers reach the company's fictional numbers.
@@brianventura1425i work at fedex and do 3 trucks 150+ boxes, how many trucks do you? I was thinking of picking up a shift at ups but idk. If its the same as fedex ?
@146gods very late reply, but doing 3 150 trucks would be heaven on Earth at UPS! The average here is like 300 for 3 trucks and people with experience sometimes get 4...
Hello to all. In case your watchi g this thinking of working g for ups I like to help you. I'm sure some have a good experience. Most people read one and assume it's all lime that. Preloading g for them has an extremely high turnover for a reason. I'd say ask around to as many employess who work for then. Get and idea from them. Their is a reason only 3 of the 37 new hires were emoyed one month later. I was promised 22 an hour to start then told on my Second day pay is 19 an hour. That's shady. I'm glad I made the decision to move on to BETTER employment.
In what location did you work? How were you promised the $22/hr? Like was it in person, thru the application, maybe on some sheet of paper they may have given you? Aaaand where did you decide to work after moving on? Thanks if you decide to reply
Its almost peak season and today the supervisors boss gonna say im giving u another chance if in 2 weeks you dont have the methods down im gonna have to let you go
@jorgerivera1083 i quit there disrespectful i had to use the bathroom cause i ate something a day before a couple weeks ago and i was in the bathroom for 20mn i saw the supervisor twice in there when i was in the stall he was at the sink abd he lies and say u were walking around when he knew i wasnt and sent me home so i just quit damn asshole doing the truck by me i told i was going to the bathroom and to take over till i come back i came back and he threw boxes all over my 3 trucks outside inside everywhere and they blame me im like wtf
I have worked for UPS Canada for 35 years and have to say the preload is an absolute disgrace. Crappy and very unstable and unsafe loads.. They actually at one point had a precommunication screen asking if load was satisfactory and other poignant questions and room for comments. I would voice my concerns but management couldn't give a toss. They have never shown any concern. And top rate is $30.. Absolute waste of $$$$$$.
This video is pointless😂 any one applying for ups just know it’s never a time when it’s 40 packages on the truck like this video😂. Expect 250 & up on every truck.. oh yea & you’ll be likely loading 3 or 4 trucks at a time 😂😂😂😂

Im a newbie
Bro, it’s the same thing everyday, you learn as you go.
Being a UPS driver, one of the first things I heard you say wrong(lift with your back), everything else👍🏽
Now do one when it’s peak season and there’s like 400packages
I get 400 when it’s not peak 😭
While doing three trucks😂😂😂
Or 4 trucks with 130 packages even
We average 290 to 500 packages a day in Milwaukee

Very helpful as a new preloader
Good advice but...unrealistic load.
You wanted him 2 show yo slow assss anymore information?
At FedEx I tried loading everything the best i can in order for the driver, They always come in and rearange it no matter how well I organize it.
my drivers tell me I'm doing good but they will organize it themselves because they know their routes and the numbers on the shelves don't always benefit them.
yea they all have there diffrent ways of loading like some drivers help you in creating a better load but also they go around checking for misloads before they leave
75 pieces on the truck. thats hilarious. In 7 years I've NEVER seen a truck that light. NEVER. 200 bare minimum.
Here in Ohio they let us come in on Saturday and work a little on the Monday trucks so on Monday I’ll have less than 100 pieces
Bro if my trucks were that light my loads would be immaculate
Exactly, I can’t choose where to put heavy packages if the whole truck is bursting full.
Great video this was very helpful, is it to much if I ask for other video explaining tips when the load is too big thank you
Don't the packages fall off along the way?
i have never seen a truck this empty ever when preloading, that in itself is the only inaccurate thing about this
Hmm wouldn't it be easier to lift and remove a heavier package from a middle shelf as opposed to picking it up off the floor.
I don’t wanna be that guy /weirdo lmao but what do I wear ??? I feel like Ricky Bobby what do I do with my hands 🤲🏻??
Lip loading that small package is useless as its just going to slide towards the exterior wall the first turn the truck makes.
Wish me luck I start Clarksville on Tuesday
How’d it go?
Clarksville is a fictional town used in the fictionalized videos that UPS puts out. They think that fiction videos can make drivers reach the company's fictional numbers.
😉
That's impossible during peak when us preloading have to put boxes in the aisle
even when its not peak i have over 300+ in my truck and its all in the middle

As a woman I have orientation coming see as a preloader. Would you Recommend for me to get a back brace?
I would steer far away from this job
I gotta do 3 trucks at fedex how many do package handlers load at ups? The same?
My first day 3 trucks 200+ packages each
Hi,will they keep you doing preloading or ask you to do something else?

Nah do peak season from fedex ground 700 packages on few trucks last season.
Dude do one with even 200 packages.

That’s the one good thing about Amazon you load it yourself so only have yourself to blame
This video is a big waste of time UPS will never fix the pre-load it’s a broken system and it will always stay that way.
Same with purolator
That's like 47 stops
Fuck we load a minimum of 350 stops on a truck
This video is such b8
What's the pal number?

I wish they guys that load my truck would watch this maybe then i can get a decent load.
