      Living the Preloader Dream: 14 Years of Lifting Boxes and Lowering Expectations

      Part time package handler

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      PROS of Being a UPS Preloader Since 2010 1. Job Stability • UPS is a major company with strong union representation (Teamsters). • Consistent work with scheduled raises and benefits over time. 2. Union Benefits • Health insurance, pension, and possibly retirement benefits that bartenders rarely get. • Paid time off and protections that come with seniority. 3. Predictable Hours (Usually Early Morning) • Preload shifts are typically early morning, leaving the rest of the day free. • Better work-life balance than bartending (which involves late nights). 4. Physical Fitness • The job is labor-intensive, keeping you physically active without needing a gym. 5. Seniority Perks • After 14+ years, you likely have choice pick on schedules, routes (if promoted), or even better jobs in the facility.

      Cons

      1. Physically Demanding • Years of lifting, bending, and repetitive movement can lead to chronic injuries (especially back, knees, shoulders). 2. Limited Upward Mobility (if you stay a preloader) • Preloader is an entry-level position; staying there long-term may limit career growth or pay increases compared to promotion or trade certification. 3. Repetitive Work • The job is fast-paced but monotonous—scan, lift, load, repeat. That can wear on motivation over time. 4. Early Hours / Sleep Disruption • Starting at 3–4 a.m. can disrupt social life, sleep patterns, and overall energy. 5. Less Creativity or Social Interaction • Compared to bartending, you’re not engaging with people in a fun or creative way—just packages and co-workers under time pressure.
