Today I had the same 4 trucks to preload. It was hell. A :censored:ty packed box of books opened under the weight of itself and it caused me to get backed up with packages. My scanner then decided to fail and my supervisor wasn't around to help me so I asked another preloader. My supervisor was angry...
Hey there UPS family, I'm a new member of UPS in New York. Just started around 3 weeks ago. I'm currently a package car preloader and I'd like some advice to improve my work.
I've been struggling to pack the trucks, 4 cars being a bit too much to handle for me. Almost everyday my supervisor has...

Talked to a buddy in Texas who said the time at his hub is the same. In...

Is anyone running/testing the new IVIS? I’ve seen it, played around with it, but it was a tester that was being shown to me.
A couple of our tractors had the new mounts for the new IVIS installed in them, but no IVIS.

How do we get pieces of farm equipment or propellers and fireplaces that weigh 150-200lbs but have 49 or 69 lb stickers? Why does management and safety ignore it and refuse to weigh? These things seem to pop up occasionally but peak has been ridiculous. I can easily do 200lbs myself but what's...

For drivers:
