[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 182333, member: 4653"] Hey Westside, I don't look at it as "being stuck with it" Its obvious the company would not turn back once it decided in its planning stage it was going forward with the technology. I think its a great tool. Problem is, when we were first introduced with the concept we were to it would reduce misloads and increase "package integrity". Package integrity is the idea that if a consignee is recieving 20 pieces from a shipper that all of the pieces will arrive at the same time:lol: . Also Westside, I think the system comes up short on the preload part of the operation. I have preloaders that would have had 1 misload every 1-2 weeks when they had to memorize streets to having 4 misloads per week in my car alone. Management has tried everything in our center. Like, naming each car a different color and labeling the shelves in that color, to putting the driver's name on the PAL label. It does not work. There is no subsitution to the human mind knowing from practice the addresses on each pull. As for us drivers, in our center in every route I do the mileage has not been reduced. Also, our package selection time is supposed to be reduced (in theory we are to take 1 step back in the cargo area and select the package and walk out) and in my opinion this has increased. I can't find the freaking package because the preloader has no room in section 5000 so he puts it in the shelf under it in section 6000 (no blame on him, thats what he is told to do). How am I supposed to know he did that with THAT specific package? I would love to work more efficient. I feel I was more efficient when I was able to sort my truck as I needed. For heavens sake, if I was doing a house call route, it would take me 10 minutes, tops, to sort the load and then I knew where every package was and I could do the method of just stepping into the cargo area and selecting the package I needed.
