HaveHeart said:doing about 313PPH today

Nicely put.
We all did start somewhere. It took me about a month to fully get the big picture, in preload. Some take it on right away, a few. A lot never amount to anything special or trustworthy. For me, and I hope others in the future, will do their jobs with morals and ethics at hand.
Another great tip is, to watch other loaders work. One of the things that got me understand preload, was watching a fantastic loader.
I'm a little confused about these numbers. How long are you working each day?
313 packages per hour is 1200-1400 pieces for the day (4-4.5hours). This is an insane amount, even it was peak season.
900 total pieces is 200-225 pph (same hours).
Well they just added a 4th truck to my pull so I've been doing 1300ish packages at just under 5hours a day, I don't take a break or stop working for anything usually.....it almost feels like slave labor,ha
I use to rag on preloaders for giving me misloads everyday but after i see the ***** they go though i keep my mouth shut. I had 4 misloads a few days back and my preloader the next day said "sorry for all the misloads" I just told him ***** happens and not to worry about it.
How do misloads affect you as driver? When I was driver helping last peak, I was helping on a route that I loaded myself. We'd have the occasional misload, and all that would happen is it would still be on the truck when he got back to the center. I'm not understanding what the inconvenience is, unless you're missing a package that was misloaded onto a different truck, and you spent time earlier looking all over for it?
Which means that someone doesn't get that package. It's a big deal. We all hate not getting a shipment we're expecting to get, especially if it's on a Friday since it would have to wait until Monday.all that would happen is it would still be on the truck when he got back to the center.
My question specifically related to how a misload inconveniences the drivers, not the customer. I received my answer.

In our center, they usually make us run the misload because our center manager will die if we have missed pieces. That could be the 5 miles out of the way or 40 miles out of the way. The inconvenience is that I now have to run this misload and make a long day even longer. I'm not complaining but rather explaining what the inconvenience is.
