    Day one really wasn't that bad. The training sessions and classes are to help us to mentally prepare for the work that's going to come. This full time shift is summer temporary meaning it'll only be for the duration of my summer before going back to school.

    Got a job as a preloader during COVID because my regular job laid me me off. On my FIRST day UPS gave 2 trucks to load with absolutely no training. Luckily my regular job called me back and I only had to work there for 6 days. I don’t mind working hard but NO training? It’s stressful as hell.

    package handlers entry position starts at 13.25 now. but great but if you put in the years and eventually get a higher position or do combos the benefits and retirement and decent pay is well worth it when it comes to a career. best time to get in is your early 20s

      Honestly that's a joke considering the amount of work they make you do and how the management treat you and especially if it's overnight. Those hours alone will wreck your health never mind the back problems you'll get from trying keep up the pace 5 nights a week. If you're into sports or working out you can forget about it. I worked there as a graveyard shift unloader for one month found another job related to what I wanted to do career wise and got the hell out of there asap

    Did my first day unloading twilight. It should be only for a month or so before i get i to sort.Ya it wasnt easy but it really wasnt bad. Im not going to lie i do seem to recover faster than others and im somewhat atheltic but aslong as you use the equipment work as smart as you can snd stay hydrated keep a good pace you should be fine. Im not even sore, but hey every1s different i too have been thrown into sort which is kinda lucky becuase i have a small hernia and shouldent be lifting from the floor they needed people in sort with zipcodes hopefully my strength i can pass the test and go through with the extra dollar. Its not going to be easy but thats why you dont see many young drivers or supervisors where the money is and the ones who stick around for a year or a few and get full medical and eventually retirement along with decent to good salary... orr you can find somthing else. My supervisors are cool and hardly working never got any1 no where good

    I am a package handler too. I am doing sun set til morning. and I am trying to study all the paper work and protocols (osha) but I am struggling to adjust staying up that late. I already forgot where I have to be tonight, but I know it's primarily. The people were nice, but I got leered constantly and stalked by two guys already for being the new girl...so I am already feeling uncomfortable. I do intend to work here for a while, but if it's really bad, i'm going to have to find a better job. Anyone (girls especially) first month was easy? Are they hard on you? I can handle work, but if they are expecting me to know all the coordinates by heart in no time, know how to operate the machines in no time, and sexual harassment...then maybe this isn't the place for me. I won't tolerate that

    • @thedarkknight646
      @thedarkknight646 6 років тому +5

      Johnny Laredo I know you asked the guy in the video but I'll answer at age 70 its not likely. I mean it's going to be a lot of wear & tear on your body because entry level people are put to work. And I mean REALLY put to work and you have a time gap you're supposed to have all your work done by so you'll be scrambling and rushing 5 days a week for a scrawny paycheck every week. If you have heart problems or high blood pressure don't waste your time. The job isn't worth you getting a heart attack. Sometimes you may need help with something and there's no guarantee you'll get it instead the supervisor (idk why but they all tend to be assholes no matter who it is) may just casually stroll by and tell you to hurry up so that the quota can be met for the day
