preload

Im a young woman working preload for almost a year now. I have two months to go. We recently got a new full time and part time sup on our boxline. The full time is alright. The part time sup i thought was cool too but he has been coming after me since day one. His last interaction with me was...

Been lurking here a decent while, decided to post because like many of you i am very disappointed with this contract proposal. I have 2.5 years seniority in the preload, and on my seniority date in January i was scheduled to go from $12.00 - $13.00 dollars due to progression. My question is...

Hi all. I just started the pre-load shift last week and today was my third day. I was so overwhelmed with how fast boxes were coming in. I suppose I will get better at that with time as far as where to put them in the trucks etc. What concerns me is just how exhausted I feel from this job...

So when I first joined up the United Parcel Service it bleeping sucked. Always being expected to work at a certain pace that was alien to me, being so tired I wanted to walk out etc. I think I'm finally adjusted though. This past week I've been loading 3-5 trucks no problem. My supervisor thinks...

Update time: My full time supervisor told me he'd let me have the opportunity to switch from Preload to Sort/Unload/Loading Trailers. Loading is a bit weird for me but I'll get used to it. Unload and sort are cake. Where can I go from here though? Pt sort supervisor? What are my options for...

So let me give you my background Age:28 Ups:seniority 07-17-17 Prior to that 4 years with the #113 laborer Die hard Union, will only work union. So this new 3 month driver at my Midwest hub said he voted no on the strike authorization. At first I thought he was kidding around, and I...

So a follow up to sucking at preloading. I still can't handle 4 package cars. Its draining the life out of me. I feel like I would be better doing unload or sort. A PT supervisor told me I wouldn't make book if I asked to work other than as a preloader, but another told me I should ask to be...

Okay this is my fourth week at the united parcel service. I'm pretty exhausted after an hour or two and I was wondering if you guys recommend having a monster/redbull/5 hour energy etc? I usually don't eat before my preload shift so I can see that being a problem. I'm a pretty big guy at 250lbs...

So I got sent home for being 1 min late. I just wrote down a tracking number to prove that I reported in then went to IHop instead of home. I just had to send a picture of that Colorado Omelete and pancakes to the supervisor who cut me...LOL. Before leaving, I put myself down for an option...

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...

One of my loaders drivers left him a "surprise" under a piece of paper in RDR yesterday. His bins were packed, so I helped him for a few minutes and almost dropped an 57lb package on this "surprise." Thankfully, I noticed right before disaster struck that something was under the paper... Less...

Saturday ground. Hearing that lots of centers are scrapping the operation.

I have worked preload for about 7 months non-sat about 30-33hrs and I have a full time job on top of that. I have been thinking about becoming a driver and working preload on days I don't drive and giving up my full time job. I have asked a lot of people some say good some say driving is not...

I'm pretty sure this is going to be a waste of time as this place seems to be full of keyboard warriors, however, Im looking to see if anyone has any tips or tricks, aside from working the belt methods, to prevent misloads.

Hello all, I’ve been working the preload for roughly 3 months and one of the what seem like endless ‘bosses’ that I have has been riding me like a race horse since I started. He’s demeaning, condescending, rude and just doesn’t know how to speak to people. I’m never late, do what is asked and...

I've been a preloader for 4 months and joined the union.. At what point have I achieved seniority?

Been at ups for about 4 1/2 Years as a preloader..hours aren’t cutting it though (not enough) is it possible to work double shifts, (for example 5-9pm and then come back for the early am preload?)

Hey, I'm a pre-loader and I've been lurking this forum for about a month or so. I'm coming up for whether or not I get seniority next week. My supervisor says my biggest problem is that I have not really shown much progress regarding my PPH. It hovers somewhere from 120 to 170 (my highest)...

Hi all, has anyone been through this or something similar? So here’s the situation. I’ve got an employee who transferred from Oakland CA to Lathrop CA back when the building first opened. Up until a few weeks ago he was making the wage rate that he made in Oakland CA due to the city ordinance...

This morning at the end of my preloading shift (I load 3 cars), my lightest truck which is I believe one of the smaller 600’s had ~280 packages on it as projected. The driver to that truck was telling me how sometimes his truck looked like Helen Keller loaded it and went on and on about how I...
