[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 417074, member: 9310"] Nope. Irregs are FIRST out of the trailer, because they're the last loaded. But a disproportionate proportion of the irregs end up being stacked up until the end of the shift, and in the Hub irreg trains keep running long after the sort is down (and I assume that's also what's happening on preload). Anyway, if the choice is between (a) leaving them in the building, (b) sending a trailer with a less than 5% load or (c)making the volume fit by loading irregs floor to ceiling for the last 5-10%... well, (c) is what happens. Can't get the Twilight to use load straps when they shift caps between doors for top-off by the Hub, so if you can't get one supe to hand off a trailer without fallen walls to the very next shift, good luck getting him to look out for someone halfway across the country. And someone mentioned hazmats. The videos I saw said they're supposed to be loaded on the floor, braced and separate from other hazmat classes, throughout the load. But someone made the decision to keep them off the belts and deliver them with the irreg trains. So now they're piled up until the trailer is ready to pull and all thrown in together, usually loose, at the very end of the load. Have you ever read the "Wellness and Safety First -- Expectation Zero Declaration of Management Commitment" that the suits are all supposed to sign? Insert horselaugh here. [/QUOTE]
