[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 366251, member: 484"] Bennisgreat made some posts with his tongue in cheek, but it did bring up some unintended thoughts on my part. UPS number crunchers have all the numbers all the time for everything. So answer me this. You have a 36 inch wide belt. What is the maximum package flow down that belt, before it either stops working or becomes unsafe? And why is it that you are trying to force more down belts that were not designed for that flow, and as a consequence, you end up with real safety issues, not to mention a bunch of damages? Damages that are a direct result of cramming too many packages on belts. And pray tell, how is someone going to split said belt with packages two high, side to side, and pull two package cars as well? After all, with the packages two high, there is no place to put what you are pulling off the top, and no way to split what is underneath. A problem that causes the belt not to be split until it has progressed half way to the end, causing a great number of missed packages to end up at the end, causing several people to have to two wheel them back to the begining of said belt and be tossed on the the second layer currently on the belt, thereby making another layer to boot, which now keeps you from even being able to sort the second layer, and forget even seeing the first layer. Which then causes even more missed to gather at the end of the belt. And it goes on and on, keeping two people busy all sort long shuttleing the packages back to the head of the belt. Two people that IE says we cant use on the belt because of them not being needed. So tell me what the poor lazy hourly are to do? d [/QUOTE]
