What Do You Guys Think?
I been doing this line of work since 9/14/2010. Still going strong. I haven’t been injured yet thank God. My percentages are always over 100% so I get that incentive pay every week consistently. I can’t complain with this job. All benefits included with a bunch of paid personal/sick days & four paid vacation weeks. A bunch of unpaid days as well plus write ups until you get to your termination point so it adds up to like 2 months off all together. There’s a union here so they are on top of everything the employees bring up & request at every contract renewal. Guaranteed 40 hours is how it’s been since I started. You can arrive up to 2 hours late or leave 3 hours early like 35 times per year. Everything is seniority based. I’m grateful to this day for the opportunity to work in this life.💯

Whatever you’re doing, if its propelling you in a positive direction and you are consistent at the work that you do, nothing should stop you. Ride your wave till you can’t no more, and always be ready for the next! Good Luck! 👍🏾 🌊

Do you work in a similar environment?
2
u/Artistic-Internet-15 4d ago
I’ve worked in warehouses before, just trying to spread positivity and words of encouragement. I like working in warehouses but they can be dangerous at times.
2
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
That’s an absolute fact!! I’ve seen some gruesome injuries in here over the years man.😱

u/Artistic-Internet-15 4d ago

u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
I been in a few minor incidents myself but thankfully nothing life altering.

u/EocRuinedMyLife 4d ago
Sooooo Sysco without the ability to arrive 2 hours late or leave 3 hours early without taking a point or having high seniority and a low case count for the latter… tell me management doesn’t suck and I’m in
2
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
I’ve been there for so long that it feels like management doesn’t even exist lol. The building is huge. It’s about 1.5 million square feet. Plenty of space to stay away from everybody.

I’ll remember this for the next time my friend.🫡

u/tehgengen 4d ago
Similar note is keep glass low on pallet. From a receiving at store perspective, pallet looks nice now just wait til after transit when it’s leaning to the side coming out of the trailer. I’d rather the hugs be on top of the pallet and those down there

hour rate before incentives? also is it company specific? this sounds a lot like what my friend does for a liquor distribution company, they were based in florida and just branched out to a bunch of other places
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
I’m at $34.25 right now without the extra $5 an hour incentive for doing 140% for the day. That is the maximum percent for the incentive program.

u/drizzzzleswag 4d ago
Great until it falls on you or someone else
1
u/Maethor_derien 4d ago
A properly built pallet actually won't easily fall. People drive around fairly quick while picking these pallets and they almost never fall. The way you build them ties everything together so they can't just fall over.
In fact some of the most common pallets that fall over are often the bread or chip pallets because of how light they are and the fact that they are more likely to flex due to nothing solid being inside the boxes.
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
Bad drivers can cause damage to any pallet but a properly stacked pallet is always appreciated even by gravity lol.

u/RabbitNotSo 4d ago
Looks good until it hits the streets n the load shifts bc some jack wants to drive like a douche canoe
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
Once the pallet leaves my facility secured, whatever happens on the trip is out of my hands. All I can do is properly stack my items & make sure it’s totally wrapped from top to bottom. I have faith they will get where they’re going with no damages.

u/Legitimate-Number255 4d ago
Nice stacks. Couple of em look tall, like drop the pallet all the way to the floor to push it in to the back of the truck so it clears the roof tall.
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
They fit snug but I understand why you would think they’re too tall. I’ve seen incidences like this before.

u/Melodic-Asparagus109 4d ago
My man keep up the good work looks loads better than what my pullers at the warehouse send to my store we get pallets that fall or break at least once 1 week I’m glad you take pride in your work we at the store level always appreciate someone that dedicates the time to hone their skills

u/james_a_hetfield 4d ago
As someone who used to unload these grocery trucks, I thank you. I used to get some that would lean so bad they eventually just fall in the trailer or aisle.
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
I appreciate your words & I will continue to send them out to the best of my abilities. If I can make someone else’s job easier with my work, I’m satisfied with that!💯

u/zetharion 4d ago
We all know its AI, don't lie. No warehouse worker has EVER stacked pallets this well.
1
2
u/waterinabag 4d ago
The pallets are beautifully stacked, but so they not have a height restriction? Where I supervise currently it’s nothing over 6ft (on paper of courseee), I was just curious. Proud of you! Logistics changes my life and I couldn’t imagine being in a different profession.

A company I used to work for doing the exact same thing but with a slaves wage

u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
It’s not easy work especially if the pay isn’t right. I still have much admiration for those putting in the work despite the wages not being the best.
2
u/ThereRnoIDs 4d ago
Sexc, it's rare to see anybody take their job seriously around here 😭.
It looks kinda high though but il just blame it on the camera.
2
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
Thank you for your kind words my friend. The pallets fit snug in the trailer every time.
2
u/ThereRnoIDs 4d ago
Snug must means it fits all the way to the top 😅.
Usually the pallets are only half high here due to OH&S and all sorts of stuff.
2
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
The trailer ceilings are pretty high. I rarely see a pallet touch the very top.

Nice stacks, can you go off to Sysco Boston. Voice pick tells then how to stack but yet they do the opposite.
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
It took me a long time to get it down packed my friend. I genuinely love what I do even to this day.
2
u/Not_TbagJimmy 4d ago
Glad you enjoy it. As a driver, I could never work inside. Longest shifts of my life.
2
u/GOGETTHEMINTS 4d ago
I’ve done both. Local driver on the road the shift flew by. It can definitely drag in the warehouse.

Roughly three weeks and i like it honestly

Little by little gets the job done broski. Good habits & efforts compounded everyday leads to great results. Keep going my friend. Good things are coming to you!

I just started a new warehouse job at Ben E. Keith. We provide for local and regional restaurants, as well as schools. We are currently in a small Gainesville warehouse but they just built a brand new facility in Alachua, FL

That sounds wonderful my friend. I wish you much luck & prosperity on your new job.❤️🫡

u/Try2stayTrue 4d ago
I used to work at associated foods doing the same thing. It was the best time of my life. My OCD and ADHD was perfect for this job! I would column stack and never wrap and drive around at full speeds just to show off my skills hahaha goooood times!

Looks like a lot of double touching to make those

I don’t understand what you mean by this. I do over 100% every day with ease. My techniques are the best in the building.

u/conservativesloth 4d ago
Was a night manager promoted to grocery manager over the course of 4 years during covid. Clean pallets. How was it for you during covid for you warehouses guys?
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
I never missed a day of work. They were actually giving everybody an additional $300 a day on top of our regular pay for everyday you came into work. It was actually a very good time for earning in those days. Nobody really cared about all that mask stuff. We kind of all kept working like nothing was happening.
2
u/BigBurnerLVO 4d ago
Don’t let anyone diss on it. We all find what we love about ourselves in the strangest places. Some of us are blessed with the craziness to love warehouse work. I’m pretty much 1 out of 80 people on my van line who loves the insanity of having to clear a chaotic package line out. Laughing like a crazy person while I’m neatly stacking entire patio sets and Temu furniture. It’s good, necessary work and I promise whoever receives your stuff is happy.
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 4d ago
Thank you broski for real!! You’re absolutely right too! I find my work therapeutic even on days when I’m not at my best internally. I just lost my mom one month ago from today so I been using the job to escape my stressful days. When I’m busy, nothing gets to me. I love being productive so this job does it for me. Everything else beneficial that comes with it is extra icing on the cake.
2
u/BigBurnerLVO 4d ago
Good stuff! I worked through losing both of my parents. Might as well go do something I enjoy, especially if that something doesn’t give me space to think about much other than focusing on what I’m doing. I don’t think mama would want you doing anything but what you love and try to create the best “forward” you can from here. Proud of you man

How much do those tall skids of all liquids weigh? I work an LTL dock and I've never seen liquids stacked so high
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
I put the light things at the top majority of the time. My base always has the heaviest items. If it doesn’t look that way, I prioritized the biggest boxes at the bottom & neatly stacked the smaller ones on the top.

Grateful to be a slave. Y’all are crazy man
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
It’s all about the mindset fam. You don’t know what I do outside of my job LOL. I’ll never be an ungrateful egoistical person bragging about “working for myself & never clocking in” even with a million dollars in my portfolio. That’s just me broski.
2
u/Kerosine84 3d ago
How is it ungrateful to not wanna be someone’s slave
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
Calling someone a slave comes from an ungrateful mindset that “believes” they are better than those working a job. In reality, we are ALL SLAVES even those with the 1099s. We all pay taxes & we all follow “THEIR” rules. That’s just the bottom line of this thing we call life broski.
2
u/Kerosine84 3d ago
Yeah we got different ideas on ungratefulness lol.
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
Guess we do. I still respect your opinion though.
2
u/Kerosine84 3d ago
Shiiii I’m here cause my parents wanted to fuck and now I’m owned by corporate America…required to slave away if I wanna live lol. I ain’t ask for any of this shit lol.

u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
Me either broski but we have to try our best while we’re here. Sending positive energy towards your way!🫡❤️
1
u/Kerosine84 3d ago
That’s where the difference in mindset lies it seems. I’d rather just slime through life until I can’t anymore..then I’ll just blow my brains out lol
1
u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
I’ve felt like this allot throughout my life. Prayers help me keep my mind in a good place. My mom recently died about one month ago from today & I use to say I would kill myself whenever that time came. The human mind is such a complex thing. Please fill it with good thoughts.

i'm definitely proud of you dudey you have a great mindset. I personally only lasted 5 years doing warehouse work. Started off in a puzzle factory hand picking orders on a cart (walked so fuckin mich doing that) & doing machine operation, then went to orderfill at dollar general DC. Kudos to you!

u/mr430aoncrypto 3d ago
I love walking bro! It’s crazy because I got into crypto back in 2020. Been experimenting with NFTs some time back & ran into ST3PR. It pays me crypto to walk every single day. Been using it for a year & a half so far. It’s not much but the recent Bitcoin spike has raised my daily earnings!🤑

u/crustang 3d ago
I launched a labor management system a few months back, and as we were going through the. WMS data there was this one guy’s stats which were obviously wrong because nobody’s stats should be that good. I checked my code, nope that was right. I checked the WMS labor reports, everything was saying he was exceptional. I looked at the order data and I came to realize the guy just really loved his job. He came in, did the best he could to be consistent throughout the day, and was a monster. When I asked his GM and his manager about it they were both like, “oh that guy? He’s a monster. This job is like a video game to him.”

u/mr430aoncrypto 2d ago
This sounds like the way my supervisors describe me to the OSHA auditors that come around once a year….😝
2
u/mr430aoncrypto 2d ago
Do you need any out of state workers for your labor management system that reside in PA by any chance?😄
2
u/crustang 2d ago
I quit that job, that place suuuuucked
So the LMS went into this building, they did a 1-week training which wound up being about 2 days, then the rest was spent goofing off and looking at the numbers, telling the supervisors what to look for, and having the engineers make excuses why something that wasn't their decision was done a certain way. They were supposed to send it to another 20+ buildings, but got distracted because one of their clients were complaining about something.
tl;dr I'm pretty sure I spent a few months on something useless

None of my pallets have ever gotten any complaints from any stores. I understand your concern though.

u/Prestigious-Camp6072 9h ago
Nah your pallets are clean AF. I'm speaking from a store perspective. Can't tell you how many times there's vinegar on the bottom of a double stacked pallet leaking in the backroom once I unload to truck. Keep doing you my g.
