Very simple:
One supervises what goes out ---one supervises what comes in.
You are either in or out !!!!

Put them both together.....and you still only have half a brain........Maybe!!!

??????? not exactly ????? Hello !!
Local sorts --unload ,sort and load pickup volume from a building outgoing to a Hub.
Preload--unloads,sorts loads the Brown package cars with inbound parcels for that delivery area

and what is the respective pph? misloads?(reload sups can't run to TX to correct a misload like a preload)
Outbounding feeder movements will be a thing of the past soon...but that was never really that hard but incredibly easy to jack up.

I had several different jobs while in the Navy and three actual ratings. I started out as am undesignated seaman and struck signalman. We then were switched to Quartermaster and lastly I got out of the Navy as an aviation ordnanceman. I also carried the NEC 9545 which is Naval law enforcement specialist. I had always wanted to be a cop so I went to Master at arms school and worked as base police for a few years. Also worked as brig staff (prison guard) on the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Yeah you'll be fine... I'd say as long as your background comes back good that you'll be in. We just hired a PT sup without a degree but he was ex-mil. The three previous went through a crazy interview process(it took a freakin month and a half) before we got them. But this last one took 2 weeks. I think it is because of the vet commitment that they made public.

Ex Military- It all depends on your needs, If you take preload, you will have time to be with your family at night, if you take Local Sort your time will be gone, both jobs are responsible jobs, the Local Sort Sup. usually has to clean up after the Preload Sup, meaning platforms are left out, time and leave are charged to your Local Sort car Wash hours, you basically have to keep an eye on the Peload because when they don't make the numbers they try and charge the time to the Local sort, this happened plenty of times with me and I always had to clean it up and it gets annoying after awhile, and as far as call-ins, you have that on both sorts, don't let these guys fool you, good luck on whatever you choose, and don't think because you are ex-military the job will be easier for you either that would be a mistake. Thanks for your Service and all of those at UPS who are former Military thanks for your sacrifice for our country.

I work the preload and we do more "cleaning up" than anything. The other sorts leave irregs everywhere, the line up is almost always has an issue, slides are at 40 percent or more. Other sorts can just leave and the next sort will pick it up, but the preload is the shift where everything's gotta go.
The only time I will code out to car wash is when the line up is wrong, and my guys spend time shifting cars around to fix it.

These are preload packages you are "cleaning" up and the time to process those packages on the other sorts are charged into the total preload hours.
Leaving slides at 40% charged for the preload is basic planning and common. That way the sorters can start at the same time as unload.
A local sort cannot leave packages for the preload unless they are preload packages (not many times anyway).
On the flip side, the preload cannot leave local sort packages either.
Both can leave equipment and supplies in disarray.
It's hard to leave a mess from the preload for the local sort since most "unscheduled" visitors come in during the daytime hours.
It is refreshing to see that some things (blaming each other) has not changed in 40 years.

Not blaming them, just stating that the preload has to clean up just as much as anyone else.

UPS and the military have much in common, including "hurry up and wait".
