[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 366320, member: 13921"] I've wondered that also. At my center, we have 3 spots for trailers to unload. 2 at one end of the building and 1 at the other end. The 2 trailer end is where all the problems occur. A bunch of years ago, someone decided that the only way to make the numbers was to unload both at the same time. When the flow was "right" boxes from the side trailer knocks boxes from the straight trailer off the belt. The 'solution' was to weld metal plates to keep everything on the belt. Damages have skyrocketed, but it does not matter, cause the numbers are being met. Plus spitting that mess is darn near impossible (no box line, straight belt down the middle of the building.) The boxes hit the spitters 2-3 high and 3-4 across. A lot of time, as soon as the mess passes the 'guards' boxes tumble off the belt. It is an excercise in stress and frustration. I do not think I have the patience to work the preload in my building anymore. TB [/QUOTE]
