[QUOTE="Floridacargocat, post: 342851, member: 6168"] Yes, we have. Hoewever, with due respect, only those cars with high unit numbers/multiples are provided so-called "bulk sheets". And you know what, despite all the electronic knowledge, sometimes those amounts are not coming for one reason or the other. The system still offers quite a little bit of improvement potential. E.g., advance notice in the bulk sheet - among others - 10 units to customer ABC. No advice re size, so these 10 pieces can/ and do bulk out a car. They go to one of our best loaders, and even he - at the end of the day - is forced to leave them on the slide and wait for a final decision. I maintain, that having the necessary size/volume knowledge of what is at the door will help in planning the car size and the entire operation. I have asked an internal trainer if this information is available, and the surprising answer was: Yes, for billing, but not for operational purposes. Dispatch planning is very crucial job which has a major impact on a smooth operation, but sometimes I am more than frustrated, that our loaders are putting boxes into the cars, which the drivers promptly throw out because addressee has moved (and it happens not onyl once, but twice). If the system has the wrong information (and has not been corrected for one or the other reason), then we will have to work double. Is that smart? [/QUOTE]
