[QUOTE="Azrjn4864, post: 883147, member: 36791"] I load 4 trucks a day and I know how overwhelming it can get... One thing I do that helps me with misloads is I move the pal label on every package to the right, lower bottom of the package... That way they are all lined up and I can glance at different shelves during the sort as I am walking in and out of the truck... It isn't possible to have every single label facing out (esp. towards the end of the day when the truck is getting full), but for the most part they are. Also, as far as stacking out, I try not to get more than 5-10 packages per truck out... I actually let 5-7 stack up in the floor at the back of each truck, then when the belt is clear for a good ways ahead of me, I will quickly go load... My center is small, so I have the advantage of being able to walk up the belt and clear my "stuff".. I know roughly how much time I can spend in the trucks loading before something passes me by.... What helps more than anything though is moving those pal labels... I move them, like I said above and then I make sure and look at them again before I put them on the shelve... I NEVER go into a truck holding a package that goes on another truck... Like say I have 2 nda envelopes, I set one down behind the truck it belongs in then take the other to it's truck...
