[QUOTE="Mike Hawk, post: 315420, member: 14667"] [COLOR=#231a0c]I've loaded by PAS for a year and a half and in my experience most of our crappy loaders (one hit 80 misloads, thats right eighty, in a week) are crappy because our load line supe doesn’t train them. They get the initial half hour put the right box in the right truck on the right shelf, but when it comes down to crunch time at the end of the day when air and ground are coming down the belt at the same time they just can’t keep up. They end up with the twin towers behind every one of their trucks and they give up and start throwing packages in. This results in massive amounts of misloads not to mention the driver will have to sort the truck because its not remotely close to stop for stop order. The reason they can’t keep up is they don’t know how to efficiently load their trucks; simple things like stacking boxes that are the same size/shape together to use space more efficiently, dealing with irregulars like long tubes, they often put them on the shelf at the beginning of the day taking up ridiculous amounts of space, when to put large packages on the floor/when to drop bulk stops on the floor from the shelves, I could go on and on.
