I recently got an inside "look" at UPS operations thanks to my son David. David is a college student and just got a job with UPS part time evening in Harrisburg PA. He works about 4-5 hour shifts. His job is to off load the conveyor belts and scan and load tractor trailers at the hub in Harrisburg (one of the largest). He said there is no time to even read any labels cautions, this side up, or top load markings, (I know this and do it anyway mostly for my customers piece of mind), any way, he said the conveyors go so fast they end up dumping the parcels in a heap faster than they can possibly be scanned and loaded. He reported to me last evening that he recorded a personal best record, 1400 parcels scanned and loaded on his shift. He typically loads 2-4 semis at one time. It is a job for the young, whew...
The company treats its college students very well actually, and David will qualify for a $1300.00 grant compliments of UPS at the end of the semester. Certainly the work alone is enough to encourage higher education. Moral of the story, pack better, or delegate as you mentioned.
