I worked peak season last year and and got hired back on a week ago. On Saturdays I have to unload the trailers and that is hands down one of the most backbreaking things you can do. Standing in a stuffy, hot trailer unloading up to 1000 parcels per trailer. However, my goal is to be a driver and make the real money and I’ll gladly continue doing this as long as that is in my future.

Actually decided to stay in the PM because I’m going to school in September. I didn’t want to take the time to learn the routes and new roles in the AM just to leave after a few months later. What I heard from the AM shift workers though it’s just you’re either unloading the trailers, working at the split or loading trucks like this video. There’s a chart where the conveyer belt is with all the street names and if a box passes you with those streets then you put it on the truck according to where they tell you to put it when trained usually how the driver likes it. Overall it’s not a bad job if you got a good team to work with.

Also maintaining good posture and lifting techniques is important because some packages can weigh up to 130lbs. Now the health and life insurance benefits are awesome.

@Jermaine-NC
Жыл бұрын
No its not hard finding where the packages go. The boxes that come down the line will have a printed out sticker on the box to tell you which truck and where in the truck the package goes. For example. The sticker says 10-4000. That means its going to the #10 truck on the 4000 shelf in the truck. The shelves in the truck goes from 1000-8000. Its an easy concept it just gonna take a few days to memorize the shelves and normally they will start you off with 1 or 2 trucks until you get experience then move you up to 3 or 4 trucks. Some of the packages are large so they either go on the floor under the shelves, outside of the truck like leaned on the back, or under the conveyor belt where we take the packages off. And its usually fast pace. Your first day your gonna go over paperwork and watch about an 1hr or so videos then youre going on the floor.. I hope this helps.

Yes sir. We usually have 2 supervisors on the floor. 1 on each side of the belt. Just let your supervisor know you need to go to the restroom and he will relieve you. If there is no one to relieve you and its emergency just yell "belt off" for someone to push an emergency shut off button on the belt or you can turn it off yourself if youre near one. Hope that helps.

How many trucks does your center run a day? Your center looks small and the belt is so slow with the packages spaced far apart. You only have one scanner and you don't have a decap area?

Non peak about 5 trucks. Its a small and old building. I use to complain about it. Asbestos, cobb webbs, drivers have to wait for certain drivers to leave because they arent that many doors smh. I mentioned in another comment that we had a different unloader that day whos not as fast. What is a decap area?

@@Jermaine-NC How many routes or trucks with drivers does your center have? I see more than 5. The decap area started at my center in 2007, it's at the head of the belt right past the person scanning which I see you only have one. We have 2 and there are so many packages coming out so fast it's hard to handle sometimes. When they scan a package and it has a HOLD on it, Address correction on it, deliver to a different address, needs to be taped or repaired from box falling apart, damages, things that are closed that day, it is pushed onto rollers that go off the main belt to a area with computers and rollers that feed the exception packages to the person on the computer to correct or whatever it needs. Then when it is fixed or changed there are rollers beside the computer that feeds onto another belt to send it back out to the main belt to be loaded. I hope I explained that for you to understand. How much volume does your center have each day? Before peak we had 700% and it would get worse closer to the holidays.

@@Jermaine-NC I just looked at the belt and unload again, you do have an old center with the smaller conveyor belt. They put in a new conveyer belt that was wider so I couldn't reach to the other side like I could on the one like your center has. Our center was old but we had an extension they added to it where you have one trailer in the middle feed and the back of the building is that brick wall. They put what looked like a mobile home with more bay doors on the back of the building that extended it out 6 more trucks length on both sides of the belt plus the area for decap was added to that. We had 3 chutes at the unload doors that could unload 3 trucks at one time. Thank you GOD, I got to stop loading and work the decap area that was hard but not as hard as bouncing in and out of those trucks everyday for the last 4 years. Actually you are a clerk in that area.

@@Jermaine-NC I'm sorry, maybe I'm not explaining it the way you can understand because you show what your center looks like and I can see the way it looks like my center did before they added to the building and made it larger. Where your center has that brick wall is the back of your building and the single trailer in the middle fed out by one chute and one person unloading, that is the old method for small centers. They built a new building onto the back of the old building that linked the old part with the new part and one conveyor belt that spans the length of the entire building. In the new added building there are 6 bay doors on each side of that building and the back extends to 3 dock unload bays for 3 trailers at one time. There are 2 scanners on each side to scan every package and the irregulars, add correct, hold, closed, broken, torn up and retape is fed right past the people that scan on one side of the belt so someone works between 2 sets of rollers that picks off those packages that are sent by rollers to computer stations. After they are fixed, they are then sent back on another moving belt that feeds out to the main belt. That is Decap and is another building built onto the main building. Then as you said when the volume gets too high and more trucks are needed they set up tables with portable rollers to send packages outside with 1 to 3 more trucks backed up and the decap people also load them. I hope you can visualize how I explained it because I don't know if I could if I didn't know for myself. Your center set up is very familiar to me but we had to expand and expand and expand. LOL, I hope you enjoy your experience with UPS because it was good to me and now that I am retired all of the worker bees are paying for my Pension!!!!! LOL God Bless

UPS offers higher pay for seasonal but it drops down after peak season ends. They don't offer any bonuses for attendance except for doubletime/time and a half for coming in on monday or saturday respectively. (Whichever is your day off.) UPS is pretty strict with attendance and just expects you to come in the days you are scheduled, I believe if you fall below 90% attendance by the end of the year you are let go.

In most hubs you have to start off in the warehouse being a preloader and as driver openings become available the senoir preloader is next to be a driver. Its senority based.
