[QUOTE="soberups, post: 570278, member: 14668"] I'm having an annoying dispute with my sup over proper use of the handcart. If I have 20 pieces going into a business with no dock...I lay my cart down in the back of the truck and scan the packages while I am loading them onto the cart. I then slide the cart out and down the bumper using the skids on the back of the cart as a ramp. I then wheel the cart into the business, push the pile of boxes up against a wall, and pull the cart out from under the pile. Result? I handle each package only [I]once[/I], I minimize customer contact time, and I keep the customers crowed receiving area clear. My sup insists that is unsafe and wrong. He wants me to (a) take the packages off the shelf and set them on the floor.(b) Unload them off of the floor and onto the hand cart. (c) wheel the packages inside. (d) unload them off of the handcart and line them up in rows. (e) scan them. (friend) pick them all up again and stack them up to keep the receiving area clear. So instead of handling those 20 packages [I]once....[/I]he wants me to handle those 20 packages [I]four times.[/I] Assuming an average weight per piece of 10 lbs, I just went from handling 200 pounds to 800 pounds. And this is supposed to be "[I]safer?"[/I] Its frustrating for me because I have been doing my job for 22 years. My sup drove 20 years ago....for about a year, before being promoted. He can barely use a DIAD. He is a nice guy and a decent sup but in this case he simply doesnt know what the hell he is talking about. [/QUOTE]
