[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1041463, member: 32753"] A more focused objectove on building from within has many benefits, I believe. Here are a couple: Improved relationship between loaders and drivers. The drivers who complain the most are often hired off the street; having never experienced loading, or even unloading, they cannot empathize why misloads happen, or why the "stupid unloader" put the PAL on the barcode. My experiences as a preloader as well as assisting with the sort and unload when they asked me allows me to be a little less stressed, and I can smile at my loader understandingly and talk civilly when I have concerns. Also, I became a much better loader after going out as a helper and seeing how my bad habits of laziness affected the driver's day. My experience as a helper also gave me a desire to become a driver, and thus I was motivated to be a better worker to improve my chances. Giving part timers a real goal to shoot for (for those that want that goal), and even giving them a 'december call-up' (to borrow the baseball concept) could help them find more meaning in their job, and motivate them to do better (with a better idea of how having experienced their loads while delivering as a helper), which helps everyone.
