I suck at preloading.

[Brandon5658]

Today I had the same 4 trucks to preload. It was hell. A 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 when he saw that this was like the third time I let packages get backed up. I talked to an older package handler after work and he said I could just go ask to work in sort or offload, which I have done and I like it way better. I'm not union yet and the way this preload is going my supervisor said I might not make it. How could I ask to be stationed anywhere else in the hub? I'm kinda bummed that I can't keep up.

Brand new preloader. 4 car set. Not a sup in sight. Sounds like UPS.

You won't be fired if you show up to work every day. Just don't steal anything, don't hit anyone and wait until you get seniority before you tell the sup to eat your ass.

They can't find anyone dumb enough to stick around more than 2 months.
So don't worry about making it. They need all the warm bodies they can get.

You are new and it is going to take time. They won't move you any time soon. It takes time to figure out a good method to loading. Eventually if your on the same trucks you will figure it out

Every new pre loader sucks----sometimes they suck their whole career. Don't sweat it. Work safe

Tell the supervisor to bring you extra batteries, the scanners are not that hard to figure out

Not sure where he is located but I prefer the hands-on training method.

Do you guys receive any incentive pay for showing up? Or is it just the $10/hr? Last I heard my building was offering an $80/wk bonus on top of the $10/hr.

No incentive but its $13 an hour luckily. I don't think I would be willing to stay for $10 an hour haha

Who cares if you keep up ? Just punch in, punch out, and collect a paycheck.
