Day Four At UPS Package Handler: Everything Hurts

[@bjmurphy34]

Thanks for documenting this. It's helpful for new people.

[@jimihock5]

Ive been at ups for three years , doing preload , its rough for a couple of weeks maybe months . Your body will eventually toughen up so long as you are proactive about taking care of your body , drink a lot of water , force yourself to get 8 solid hours of sleep , lifting boxes seems like a simple job , but i have learned that there are a multitude of ways to use leverage not muscles . I try to thank my workmates after finishing a truck , even if they are slow . Low morale is common as its a graveyard shift . You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders , and by the way , Good job ! Carry on .

akemi make sure you stretch everyday before each shift it will help you out a lot i started where your at im a driver now and all drivers stretch before we start work

[@AkemiLife]

This is great advice! I've been stretching more recently and the pain is gradually decreasing.

[@bradkidd8877]

I don't , I have a team of surgeons .....

[@murkedszn521]

I've been both unloader and sorter and I can honestly say that unloader is more harder physically but your right sorter is more of a mental job

[@MrTbwfGames]

Unloader is nooo wayyyy harder then unskilled sort (loading the trailers)

[@blikkyikkyuh4321]

unloading is fucking cake

[@toddsmithselbow1732]

Loading blows.

These are very helpful I'm nervous and it helps to go in with an idea then blind sided😊

[@thegamerfrominside]

ive worked last year as a driver helper and from what i can tell you is the next couple of months is gonna be the worst. first couple of weeks will make you beg and cry and after the next couple of months your body is gonna get used to it. best advice is get as much sleep as you can and i mean every minute counts. make sure you stretch before you go to work, it will help your muscles when your actually working. best of luck to you

[@AkemiLife]

Thanks! I've actually been feeling a lot better going in and out of work as of late.

[@dsgb1981]

Your hub seems to practice some form of team work which is awesome! The hub in Atlanta that I used to work at was pretty much every man for himself from day 1

[@SKINNY.P239]

dsgb1981 Damn Bro are You for real? I have a interview in Atlanta tmr...

[@jonnic1505]

I work at the one in Atlanta as well...fulton industrial....but I'm guessing u might have been at the old hub Marvin Miller

[@Goddessroe]

@@jonnic1505 I work at the Fulton one now. Everyone in the trucks are alone.

[@ericescudero2981]

I just started about a week ago and im so sore i can barely move my arms and legs. Especially after having 2 intense loading days in a row. I honestly don't know how to even get the energy for the next day.

[@eiriniperoulas110]

Ty for the info. It is very helpful

[@elgrandchiloteenmascarado1069]

get some shock abosorbers for your shoes it will help out

[@jessiesanchez7127]

Steel toe boots good for package handlers

[@cvo7617]

I love your videos bro please continue to make them do you get paid weekly or every 2 weeks?

[@AkemiLife]

QuickSilver SnD I get paid weekly! But you do not get paid until the 2nd week

[@cvo7617]

Akemi o so they don't count the training week

[@AkemiLife]

QuickSilver SnD the training week is paid! It just takes a week to process the check. So you'll get paid on the second week for all of the hours you've worked in the week before.

[@cvo7617]

Akemi o ok thank u do u think I should join as package handler is it worth it?

[@AkemiLife]

QuickSilver SnD if it's your only option then it's definitely better than not working. Plus the job gives you benefits and a pension just for working part time which is a HUGE plus.

[@jabbbajabba8062]

I m a driver at that hub. It’s a shit show everyday

[@chrisgonzalezhernandez267]

I have a month working at ups my first two weeks my body was fucked up i wasnt used to it now I dont even feel the pain keeep it up

[@AkemiLife]

I'm slowly feeling less and less pain each day Chris!

[@chrisgonzalezhernandez267]

Akemi stretch atleast 20 min before work you wont feel alot of pain

[@luigilol]

Christopher Hernandez you a driver yet?

[@SandmanFromNJ]

Supervisors are not supposed to be working..... That's a violation of article 3, section 7 in the master agreement contract.

[@Kaluuub]

[@whatifsongs1480]

[@nylisr1992]

[@trashman4393]

No lol if they drug tested nobody would be working at UPS .. smoke that za

[@Goddessroe]

Only if you get hurt.

[@arriannallanos9909]

[@ulinegron1831]

Shameful a lot of work with little pay 💰

[@krusade2158]

[@donniekopke4890]

Ok, I’m a package handler. I have 3 trucks on my own in 6 hours. I leave drenched with sweat and filthy and you don’t look like that. I unload the packages, scan them, and load the truck. Quit crying

[@arthurmiranda3804]

How long have you been working at that position?

[@desmondroussell1151]

You’re like 4 years late sir
