[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 146353"] 1. I agree with you here, ours are always doing something (even loading trucks! lol) because there is just not enough help because people quit. If everyone was allotted the right amount of time to do their job things would go a lot smoother (with proper staffing of course). However that will never happen, UPS seems to want to give a ton of things to a few people and let the chips fall where they may. 2. I remember the old way. Many people I work with like it better (myself included) For the very reason you said, we HAD to learn the trucks, if we did not...well it was tough to finish. Yes it took longer to learn that way, however once you knew it, it was faster and seemingly more accurate. I averaged about a misload a month (sometimes one every 2) under the old system. Now I can have up to 12 a month and thats GOOD compared to most in our centers. Management doesn't see what "you" do.
