The joy of working on a loading dock. Back in the days when I worked for Landgrebe in Valpo the south end of the building was wide open for loading flat bed trucks off the dock.Staying warm in Sauk Village.

Lol. Thankfully I've got enough to keep Kevin fed for the next year but I'll probably have to make another order for Gamora around late March. We should be past the icy roads by then as long as my patented Jedi Sleepin' Brick does its job.
I wouldn't say it sucked too bad. It put money in my pocket, at that time I was training alot so it was incredible excersize and it kept me away from the dorms. Especially good when I was dating some whack job that moved herself into my dorm room after first day of meeting/screwing her.
I did hand unloading with Eby Brown and Schneider for about 2 years combined in addition to driving the truck. Sucks is an understatement. The only plus side is I was less fat.Literally everyone I know that loaded a truck, "It sucked."
Yea fedex was hand unloading. We'd be doing like 15 mins/trailer
Schneider I stayed in the trailer but it was sometimes 3 or 4 stops out of a 48' or 53', a couple hours per stop because it was just me placing stuff on the rollers and I was limited by the 3-6 flunkies working at Family Dollar who somehow couldn't keep up with me. Eby was one or two dozen stops and I had run stuff on a dolly up and down the ramp and maneuver through the general[ly stupid/ignorant/stupid] public in gas stations, and that was an all day, occasionally burning out the 14 hour clock kind of job.
My problem was when I had one job in a control room, then the next job was trying to solder 7 connection in a small housing, at zero degrees, 200 feet up in the air... all while trying to use battery powered soldering irons that MIGHT complete one solder joint before the battery ran out.
Then, into another room, up in the air with a heater. Above the waist it was 80 degrees. Below, if you spilled water on the floor it would freeze because below the floor was open air.

I can gladly say I have been migraine free for three months. Ajovy has eliminated them for me.
Someone's ammo is gonna be late.
Relative to the times, those part time jobs at UPS used to pay really well. Around 1980, my older brother was struggling in tech school and took a 4am-8am package handling shift at the UPS terminal next to campus. He eventually quit school but stayed with the part time UPS job. Like you guys, he said the work could suck. For him, it ultimately led to a 35 year career as a delivery driver and over the road driver.
Meh...
U keep it. If it's not 60 inches or more forget about it.
I used to UNLOAD trucks using gravity feed roller conveyor.Literally everyone I know that loaded a truck, "It sucked."
There were 2 days that were most hated. The day that a truckload of paper bags arrived. And the day that a truckload of Kingsford charcoal arrived. Every bale and every bag of charcoal came off that truck by hand, and had to be restocked onto pallets.
Those were miserable days
Since everyone is pitching in a truck unloading story. I'll throw in mine. After installing a fire alarm or burg alarm? in Shelton fireworks when they first came to Burns Harbor, my boss pimped us out for a day or two of unloading semi trailers full of fireworks. Way way short time, And I was 18, so I guess that's why it didn't stick out in my "worst" category...I used to UNLOAD trucks using gravity feed roller conveyor.

Us railroaders have you beat. Working outside walking 110 car trains in 18 below weather with snow up to your waist trying to lace stiff air hoses. Carrying a piece a paper in your car almost every winter so you can drive to and from work when the county shuts down the roads.
