[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 121438"] I agree PAS sounds like a great system, unfortunately this system is only as good as the people running it...and as the case in our hub its not so good. We pull off tons of PALS everyday that are incorrect and such and they don't get corrected. Also once live and our trucks routes are altered, we will have no idea what really goes on our trucks anymore = missloads. If the address and the label match up we're instructed to load it only to find the next day that we weren't actually getting that section. I knew every street that was on my truck I rarely ever got a missload or if I did it was a serviceable one (say like a high main st. stop on the low main st. truck etc.), but having us "trust the pal" (as we're often told) sounds like a recipe for disaster as far as I'm concerned. I've also worked in the sort isle/primary and thats where most of the problems start. The SPAs often can't keep up (not faulting them, with all those packages coming at some of them its gotta be tough sometimes) and the wrong stickers get slapped on and the sort isle sends them to the wrong center as the PALs have the color of what belt to throw them on...some packages bounce around the entire shift until they actually get where they're supposed to go. Not to mention the sort instructions for the slide on the label...those are often wrong 60 percent of the time. I have had to sort through entire cages of missorts to find maybe 4 out of 20 packages that actually belong there. I know where most of the stuff goes but not everyone does...which makes a mess and wastes our time. However as far as pulling anyone who can read letters and numbers....I can't imagine they load any worse than the PAS supes...my god...clueless. One of them practically had a conipition fit when I brought packages that said worcester on them but the business had moved to a place in west boylston. Swore up and down that it didn't go there because the PAL didn't have the corrected address but the shipping label did (he'd been loading this pull for 2 weeks mind you) until the PT supe for that line said yeah its in truck #whatever ...wow :thumbup1: [/QUOTE]
