Role Overview & Responsibilities
As a UPS Warehouse Loader, you are responsible for loading outbound package cars in precise delivery sequence order every shift. Your accuracy directly determines how efficiently the UPS driver can execute their route, making load quality a point of personal pride and operational importance.

- Load Quality Standards: Stack packages using UPS-approved load building methods — heavy on bottom, fragile on top, no package overhangs — to prevent damage and maintain vehicle weight distribution.
- Irreg Handling: Identify and properly position irregular-sized packages (irresgs), oversized items, and hazardous material packages per UPS compliance guidelines within the package car.
