@P. Doherty No, during training they definitely drill safety as a major component. Then you get to trucks and sup's will tell you not to check bags and to just throw packages. That's just how it is sometimes.

This will be my third month working for UPS as a Preloader. I’m currently on probation until my review comes up which should be in a few weeks. I live in Michigan where it’s a small tourist town and the hub where I work is understaffed in terms of preloaders. Work normally starts around 3:30am or 4am depending on the trailers for week. Anyway, I’m tasked with loading 4 trucks. And let me tell you, it is not easy. Especially when my trucks have 197-230 packages per day. Granted, my miss-loads have been way better since I started back in late June. But today was not my day. Recap: As the only preloader with 4 trucks that tends to make my morning a living nightmare. As my packages come down the belt I have to be quick like roadrunner fast. But this morning I was criticized by a member of the Management team because they weren’t liking what I was doing. I wasn’t bending at the knees, I wasn’t using optimal carry, etc. Until it got to the point where I wasn’t allowed to put packages under the belt! That I had to stack my packages up against the doors. I mean, hello! There’s just no room to do that. I have to put packages under the belt otherwise I get so far behind that I just want to throw my hands up and say f*ck it! And don’t get me started on potential hires. They come in, work their first shirt and than they’re done. Or they leave as soon as break starts. I’m definitely gonna be looking at other jobs this week. Cause I just can’t keep up anymore. Sure the workout is good. But a single preloader with 4 trucks is hard.
Shit workout, studies showed that your muscle can only handle 3 workouts a week, more than that which in UPS's case WAY more will damage the muscle unless of course you're on roids.
I worked there from 1986 to 1992. I was part time for four years and a driver for two. I’d recommend getting out of that hell hole. It’s the worst company on the planet. I was offered a different job and bailed and so happy that I did.
Plus UltraMan it’s boot camp everyday of your life. I’d come in with so many packages I couldn’t close the doors on the truck and I wouldn’t get in until 11 hours with packages stacked up front with me. It’s ridiculous. The company spies on you and harassment is normal. No time for lunch or breaks, I’d go the entire day without stopping. I was so tired when I got home it was straight to bed so I could do all the madness again the next day.
I'm in my second week as a UPS package handler. I usually work 4 am to around 8:30 am. (I signed up for 3am to 9am) I do love being done so early. But, even though my wife makes good money, I need to get another part time job.
Go fulltime if u wanna be Supervisor. Normally i just double shift as a package handler but if u hella good fucking supervisors from different belts or another building will take advantage of you because you hustle better than their workers trust me man its annoying as fuck
@@i_i8924 For _drivers_ they have the luxury of that sort of protection. For the guys hauling the packages and loaded the trucks, you’re treated like gum stuck under a shoe. Guess which rank my brother was? And it wasn’t just him, they laid off about five other guys as well.
Aten Akehnaton that's a joke I'm surprised I didn't walk out after the first week. Get worked like a slave and treated like shit by the supervisors that hound constantly you like you're in boot camp for a $130 check every week. You can make the same if not more sitting on your ass sleeping or being on your phone at night as a security guard
I got the boring position were Im just small sorting everything. But basically im still in training. But luckily my position isnt totally bad. Prime week sucks.
I went to the interview but didn't go to orientation.I already told then I'm working someone else and they keep calling me.Ive blocked aorund 5 of their numbers and they keep calling me so far like 12 calls.I don't know what part of I'm no longer interested they don't get.
It's an honest job and not for everybody. I always chuckled at office people who ask silly questions about how tough it is, they have no clue and it would eat them alive. As for me, I love it, bring it on. Though after a few decades it is getting tougher.
They only did that full-time seasonal help last year it's over with now so you got lucky bro I've been there 11 years grinding loaded in a truck it's so easy now we just went automated the last year so now it's a cakewalk people that work there think it's going to be easy they have a wide Awakening to come
What's up Akemi, I'm creating an Assessment-Based Certificate Elearning program for Freight Handlers that trains and educates them on proper posture, strength, and mobility as they apply to on-the-job duties. The goal is to reduce injury and keep freight handlers working. In your experience, do you think something like this would be beneficial? If so, once I get it up and running would you be interested in taking the course at no-cost and providing your feedback? Thanks in advance for your response.

Fuck manual labor. Some people make millions a year sitting on their ass. Meanwhile you make 50k a year to bust your ass? You aren’t a role model, you are a failure
UPS manual labor puts all of their manual labor to shame in terms of intensity the weight of the package is lifted and the variations in temperature I've seen men that wear Concrete Construction Roofing you name it take off running out the door with their tail between their legs and that was only one they were on part-time

theres a difference from a good honest days work that was hard and being OVER worked like a slave packages per hour is fucking bullshit. they give benifits to part timers cause of how high the injury risk is.
This is a bit more than a hard days work. This is the equivalent of doing 8 to 10 hours worth of work in 5 to 6 hours. I work in South Florida as a Package handler for FedEx, and the young people that I work with are superb at this job. Only later in life will they feel the effects of the labor extensive work with no scheduled breaks, and not eating right. YOUR BODY IS NOT DESIGNED AS A ROBOT!

What is MDI?
what do you expect from a warehouse job? this is a normal thing and goes with the territory
That's gonna happen at any job sometimes you just get yelled at it is what it is
No, its unprofessional and there is no need for it. It also can be reported to a Union Steward and punishable.
Sorting isn't the same as loading. If your getting an hour break you must be a full timer, which is different than a p/t doubling
How heavy were the packages? Or how often were there heavy ones? I want to this as a side job but am concerned about the heaviness of the packages
Ryan's RUclips if you not planning on staying and working your way up don’t do it the pay is ass until you become a driver or something like that
