[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1333365, member: 14668"] There were "alpha" charts hanging over the belt with a list of street names for the entire unit, and every street had a sequence number on it that the preloader would write on each package with a crayon. Every route had a "load chart" that showed where the stops were supposed to be loaded. The preloader was responsible for counting how many stops he loaded in each car and keeping track of them with a clicker. As a driver, you had no idea how many packages you had for each stop so you really depended on your preloader to do a good job. You left the building without EDD or a manifest of any sort. You tried to get the bulk stops off first and make enough room in the car to sort and line up your stops in delivery order. It was definitely a lot more challenging, but by the same token you weren't being bombarded with DIAD messages or forced to meet different commit times. The job has really changed a lot over the last 26 years. [/QUOTE]
