When you get those rollers "screaming
like that, all you have to do for a little while is set a package on them and away it goes.lol
Yeah, that was the best. Those were the good old days. Now, at my center, they have these rollers on a platform, that extend into the trailers. These are the worst I have ever seen and used. We're a small center, and these things, though newer, are crappy. To top it off, they have a huge drop at the end near the belt, where everything falls off onto the floor.
Another point; Does anyone ever teach the unloaders to put the boxes straight on the rollers, instead of crooked. When unloaded straight, the next box will butt right up to the box ahead making it unlikely to fall off the rollers. I would always put rolls and small pkgs on top of the bigger boxes and let them ride down to the end, this way you don't have to clean up a pile of pkgs when you're done.
That would make a good thread, Preload/Reload Tips, maybe one exists already.
