[QUOTE="konsole, post: 754631, member: 23965"] - use the corners of the truck for youir bulk stops and largest packages. If a stop is getting 50 pieces and is labeled for 4100 and another stop is only getting 5 pieces and is labeled for 4000 then move the 4000 stop out and load the 4100 stop in the corner. Don't underestimate the effectiveness of filling in the corners of the truck first. - don't be afraid to use all shelves and the floor for a heavy stop and move the other packages in the area out of the way. - don't worry about facing the PAL labels out for every package especially when its a bulk stop with 25 pieces were once the driver sees one of the boxes he knows the other 24 are right there, even if their labels arent facing out. Having PAL labels facing out on every package is ideal but not really necessary for bulk stops and other "easily recognizable" packages. - try loading smaller packages up against the inside edge of the shelves and then as the day goes on load the packages on the lip of the shelf. This is so you dont have any wasted space behind the lip loaded packages. - stack a large package behind each truck so that you can use those packages as tables to stack smaller packages during heavy times and you dont have to lift the packages off the floor. Many people will say you should never stack packages but your gonna have to and getting use to when to stack and then when to load those packages is very beneficial. - make sure the door between the cab and the shelves area is open so you get some air circulation in the truck and any kicked up dirt or dust doesnt just mingle. - go up the belt a little ways and sort your packages together so you might be able to pick up more then 1 small box for a truck at a time. - do the best you can to find a good spot for irregular packages but if you can't find a good spot then leave it out, either under the belt, or between the trucks, until the end of the day or until a good spot presents itself, but don't load one of these packages during the shift if its going to black your ability to get in and out of the truck.
