They let me go 8-10 times and I'm still here as a driver again… like an abusive husband but he lays that pipe good. @IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U

I know the previous worst is relieved to now be the second worst!

You don't have to try your best. You just have to put stuff around where they go. Trying your best is really a double edge sword. Drivers will love you but you are much more likely to get injured and be out of a job due to increasing trucks/work etc. They can't keep preloaders. I have never even seen a preloaded get fired for preloaded no matter how bad they are.
Sure. You can be a bad preloader.
No one will stop you.
I choose to do my best. Almost 5 years and counting. I still take pride in my work.

What do you think the advantages of being a great preload as opposed to a bad preloader are? My building would reward you with 4 or even 5 trucks. If you sucked you were in easy positions.

Nothing to see here.... Move along.
Because I'm a realist who sees the world for what it is...
And I understand the nature of the job...
This is really all I ask of preload.
But this....
Shows true character of an individual.

It's important to know that the raw speed at which you can hurtle cardboard through the rear doors all the way into the cabin does not determine if you are a crap preloader or not. At some point even, the overdispatch relies so heavily on an organized preloader that it actually causes raw, unfiltered havoc every week I take a vacation.

When I split the belt on the preload that was it, there was no loading trucks. Sometimes they even sent a second splitter to help me. But our unload had 6 doors for comparison, and I was splitting to at least two dozen trucks.
When you're green they're gonna send you wherever they need a body. Just do your best. Hang in there bud. It never gets easier but you will get more capable of dealing with it.

And what do you say to the preloader who were Greta but are out of a job and day job due to injury?
There is a difference between doing your best, and working unsafely.

On some days you just won’t be able to keep up with their ridiculous production standards, which fortunately for us the union doesn’t recognize. There’s no point in working unsafely in order to impress a supervisor, you’re not getting a raise no matter how fast you are.
When they hassle you, just tell them you are working as fast as possible and to the best of your ability. But the secret is to ACTUALLY mean it. Take pride in doing your job well and safely. If you do that and don’t treat it like an empty phrase, your bases will always be covered and your job will always be safe. This mentality makes the job so much less stressful.

You must have some very soft spined managers or you're REALLY hard pressed for bodies. We have a free pass on drivers coming in 2 hours before their start times to get some extra time on the Preload cause we're so strapped for people! However my center manager will still cut someone early if she thinks they'll be a problem down the road or if they earn themselves what would be a termination later post seniority. For example just had a sit down with someone not even 50 days in and already No Called 5 times, they're no longer with the company.
What's your typical non peak volume for the building? Cause that sounds like what I used to do except they stuck me with 1 Truck(sometimes 2), expected me to help my neighbor and almost NEVER got me help unless one of my 2 bulk stops blew up suddenly.

Splitting the belt and preloading 2 cars sounds extremely crappie for a new hire ask management nicely since your in your probation period if you can just load a set. Sounds like your better than what you give yourself credit for. Prove your worth and make some driver the perfect load. And transfer to my hub and become my preloader..
