When I first started college (around '92) I worked at a UPS plant in Deerfield Beach, Fl, loading semi trucks. We would be in the trailer of the semi, and these conveyor belts shot packages out at us and down these rollers into the trailer, where we were supposed to stack them. Of course the conveyor belts constantly got jammed and we had to climb up these ladders and dislodge packages, which would then make packages shoot out at 100 MPH and you didn't stack them so much as dodge them. Packages would fly out and fall under the semi, and the packages that did make it in were tossed around pretty hard. It was fucking amazing that anything got delivered in one piece.
I also remember packages with "explosives" and "hazardous material" stickers on them and wondered why the hell UPS would ship that shit...
