Question about computer class

[for pete's sake]

Hey all newb here. I'm getting hired on as part time driver/preloader. Just wondering if someone is being hired for just package handling and not as a driver, do they have to go through the course as well. Thanks.

What computer class?

 

[for pete's sake]

Honestly I don't know. My HR rep called today and said to be at the facility tomorrow to start the computer course. Then when that's complete I'll be sent to driving school for a week.

Are you talking about Integrad?

 

[for pete's sake]

I think. I'm assuming the course, forgive for being ignorant, for the handheld devices the drivers use. But I was just curious if loaders, package handlers take any type course if that's all they are going to be doing as far as their job.

The training/orientation for the preloaders is different from that of the drivers.

BTW, the handheld "thingy" is called a DIAD.

Lol. Thanks. Like I said I'm being hired as part time driver/preload. I know I'll be loading while waiting a decade to get a full time route and was just curious what the loaders have to learn. I guess I'll know for certain tomorrow. Thanks guys.

You will watch a bunch of training videos.

They will probably have you unloading trailers to start.

Ask HR for the 10 point commentary and 5 keys and study it before class, it will help you out in the long run.

Yeah that's what I've been told. I will have gone through the driving course before I start. According to HR. So at least I'll be a somewhat qualified driver.

They gave me a card last week. I've already got it all memorized.

The little thing that slides out is not a cupholder.

Take plenty of water, you'll need it.

Really?

What does the acronym LEADS stand for?

Haven't seen that one on my card.

Look before stepping.

Establish firm footing.

Adjust for changing conditions.

Don't walk on moving chutes, rollers or slides.

It's not on the card. But I'll memorize that too. Thanks.
