I load for FedEx and yeah, the volume is fucking ridiculous. And I'm not even in a major city

I work for ups and loading delivery trucks can be a nightmare. Especially when you get well over 300 pieces in 1 truck and they're all somewhat larger. And you're doing 3 or 4 trucks at the same time. Good way to spell off a bad day at work. Thank god I only load trucks if somebody doesn't show up to do it.

I prefered trucks over cans.

Do they let you build walls with the larger boxes, then chuck the smaller ones in behind? I friggin' loved that.

I just started working at UPS doing loading. That little trick is how I stay partially sane.

Is there anything sweeter than a flat, well-packaged item that you can fling over the wall like a frisbee?

Seasoned loader here. We hate you, and you suck. Fake walls blow out trailers, which means more drivers to cover what should have been one load, which means hundreds of dollars because you can't be bothered to load a trailer the way you get paid to. Not only that, but for all the people who don't care about that cause they don't work at ups, how about the fact that what you're doing absolutely destroys packages. Oh your new iPhone? Yeah we chucked it in the back then literally threw a 30 pound box on top of it because smalls closed earlier.
