[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 342545, member: 4653"] Its a good thing to have our trucks loaded from floor to ceiling. It means our business is doing well. Its a bad thing however, to have loads that look like THAT. It makes the driver very inefficent and defeats the purpose of PAS/EDD. The driver is supposed to be able to open his bulk-head door and grab the next stop without sorting. Froim the looks of these loads (and many I see on my belt), the driver is going digging for his packages. Once he gets some room, I think it he should sort and straighten out the load. My point here is UPS spent all this money to make us (drivers and preloaders) more efficient and then drops the ball when it comes to execution on this great plan. I understand the preload manager has to answer for his/her numbers and I've heard about scenarios in which a preload sup would just say "get the packages in the truck, I don't care where you put them!". This is where I think the division manager should step in and take his hit on the preload, relax the PPH goal and focus on zero misloads and loading stop-for-stop. Let's see what the drivers can do with that since we are the much higher labor/fuel cost. If we don't improve, then I'll suggest going back to the status quo. [/QUOTE]
