[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1183544, member: 43119"] In preload, I get a "junk" route for my third car most of the week. This route can have delivery areas scattered throughout various parts of the metro area. It's usually strictly residential, but sometimes it can have businesses on it, or even bulk business stops (40-100 pieces). Even more rarely, they'll throw businesses in the middle of later shelves (6000's, for instance). Sometimes I'll catch these (like a random Bank of America) and put them up front for the driver to see. Anyway, it's standard protocol to have splits taken off of or placed onto this route anywhere from -10 to 60 minutes before the end of the sort. If splits are put on it, they are [U]usually[/U] PAL'd to the 1200's or 8600-8900's- sometimes both. If there's room, which is rare, I'll put them on the shelf. If the shelves are already packed beyond capacity, I'm forced to place them under ... any shelf that has space, in the best bricked order I can. When coverage drivers come by to look at the route, I make it my duty to tell them of this split. Loading can be stressful, but when the sort goes down, the stress level goes down, for me anyway. There's no reason why the preloader can't take 30 seconds to let the driver know what dispatch has [I]fubared[/I] this time. [/QUOTE]
