[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1110674, member: 43119"] I did not read this entire thread, but I have a few things to say based on the first few posts. I have never loaded, nor seen any truck where every package could be fit onto the shelves. Now, I actually do load a route where if you disregard FL1, FL2, FL3, RDL, RDR, on light days, all other packages can fit onto the shelves, with constant re-adjustments throughout the loading period. Like today, for instance. But, [I]every[/I] package? Management would cut a route that could fit all of it's pieces onto the shelves, unless it contained 200 envelopes, one per stop. As far as the whole loading packages behind packages goes, how can you NOT do that? Tues-Fri I load a resi route as my third truck. There is absolutely no way to load everything into that truck if you don't load behind and on top of other packages. So, I'm not entirely sure why that sounds like a new concept. Pushing the bulk up to the front? Isn't that for the driver to decide and instruct his loader on? If the driver unloads a rear bulk stop at a dock that he backs up to, pushing that stop up to the front would be counterproductive. I have to sort of agree that based on what I read in the first page of this thread, I don't see anything new or unusual going on there. If I have a huge gap between the end of the 2000's and somewhere in the 6000's, I'll push that crap together if I have time. If management is pushing something that you are not used to, "work as directed", but at the same time, adjust their direction into something that actually works in reality. EDIT: "lip loading" is standard too. But, I remember last year I helped on another belt after I was done, and the driver showed up and un-liploaded everything. He said it was a rural route and the packages will end up on the floor if they're lip loaded. Not really sure how that works... but again, it's for the driver to decide. [/QUOTE]
