Can ordinary people do the job of courier loaders?

It is difficult for ordinary people to persist in being a courier loader.

A little cousin of mine went to Guangdong to find a job in 2021 after finishing technical secondary school. After being introduced by a friend, my first job was also as a courier, and my job was as a loader. He is a strong young man himself, 1.8 inches tall and 150 pounds. After his first day at work, he sent me a selfie video, saying that he was working as a loader in a courier company. He was tired, dirty, hot, thirsty, and easily injured. It was too hard. He said that from the first official day of work, he worked the night shift, from 9 pm to 7:30 the next day, working shirtless. The next morning, he was dressed in black, as if he was sprinkled with black sesame seeds.

Because this was my first time working in this job, I didn’t take adequate protective measures. I stumbled on my feet and had a lot of bruises. It was very hard. Although he persisted in working for three months and his monthly salary was basically 8,000-9,000 yuan, he still resigned after three months and returned to his local city to change his career as a takeaway boy.

According to my old cousin, loading and unloading is the most tiring of all express delivery positions, and the salary is also the highest among all express delivery positions. In 2021, in some cities with good economies, the salary range of stevedores is about 6,000-12,000 yuan. In normal times, it is basically around 6,000-7,000 yuan. Some recruitment posts for express loaders say the salary is more than 10,000 yuan. He told me that this salary is indeed available, but it is basically the peak salary, or it is based on the labor intensity. This salary can only be enjoyed under very high circumstances.

In some logistics or freight companies, large markets, etc., there are also temporary workers, who are temporary express loaders. This kind of salary is calculated on a daily basis. Specifically, the salary is calculated on an hourly basis, which is about 25 yuan/hour. This kind of intensity is also relatively high. I have learned about it in a big market here. They usually start working at 8:30 or 9 in the morning and basically finish at 10 pm. They work about 10-12 hours a day and only earn 250-300 yuan a day. . There was fast food in the middle, and they didn't have to rest long before they had to continue working. By the end of the night, all these temporary express loaders had backaches, and they were so tired that they even couldn't get up.

A relative of mine often works as a stevedore to supplement the family income, but he can’t do it every day, so he only does it occasionally. My relative is a middle-aged and elderly man who is almost 50 years old. He has been working as a cement worker all his life and is an out-and-out farmer. Therefore, I feel that if he does not engage in labor work for a long time, it will be difficult to stay in the position of loader for a long time. Work.

Tall buildings rise from the ground. Regardless of the industry or position, there are opportunities to get ahead. If you do well as a courier loader, I believe you will also have the opportunity to become a leader, and it may not be so hard by then. If your physical strength is still good and you can accept and withstand the high-intensity work of a loader, you can also enjoy relatively good treatment. In short, work hard for a living, come on and be a worker!
