What's Christmas season like for preloading?

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Yeah they was , because they don't have to worry about hours

My son was staring at 2300 and getting off at 1200 and then running with me until 2100

He only made it because I world let him sleep while I was sorting the truck

BS

I'm looking forward to it. I've been told by my fellow co-workers that it is easy since you can start at 12 and if you need any help they will provide it to you since they will have an extra 10 people on the boxline. Sounds like easy money to me.

Good luck with that....

Waiting for the " I worked one week and they told me they would call if they need me to work" thread.

Boxline is for punks; with a belt, you got one shot only

Belts are unforgiving, they keep coming until it's over.

My new loader knows that if he misses a few they will bring them back up to him.

I'm right in the middle of the seniority list and never been sent home before. I don't see how I would be sent home during the busiest time of year.

Can't wait until they become extinct.

Its funny. Any driver I ever loaded for never really minded the job. I've done work for one and got piss drunk and he still didn't complain. I feel like this where the internet takes you when you google "ups sucks" and people sign up and stick around. I work at a major hub too

Cut me a check with enough zeros and I'll leave today.

Oh ok in that case, carry on.

 

[Matty_lawn]

How many zeros?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

How many zeros?

At least 5.

Remember not ever driver or every hub works in the bubble of goodness

Dave has only ever had ONE job with UPS, which he hobbled off the street into. He thinks he got it because hes better than everyone else. Best to ignore him.

Hobbled?

I was hired as I was the best candidate and promoted within the parameters mutually agreed upon by the Union and Company.

PTers working more than 12 hours, let alone 15, just ain't gonna happen in my center.

Kinda like this, be sure to watch the boss at the very end:

I have worked as a seasonal driver and driver helper before, but never the preload side of things for peek and should be driving again this year, but in my center you start about 3 hours earlier and work until its done, once the drivers come on they usually help wrap the cars up. If I work preload I am not looking forward to the increase of packages, I typically load about 1000-1300 pieces on my set now, depending how many cars I have. hate to see how it would change.

On a side note I wish vacation season would return, I hate preload
