Rentals - Organization

[seekz]

Hey guys, I was told multiple times I would have a rental during peak and I was curious if anyone had a any suggestions on how to organize your load the best way possible? I was thinking of taking some totes and just sectioning off areas? I dont know what to expect here lol

Drive slow around corners and over bumps

 

[wayfair]

are you going to use ORION???

you could probably get away with creating your own ORION. Instead of the DIAD telling you what package to look for, just find any and drive to it, rinse and repeat until your rental is empty

Mechanics used to take the front passenger seat out you could jam 15-20 resis in there and bust it out

Probably a no-no today

Yes put all your 8000's 7000's etc in to separate piles and line up the next 20 stops or so at the back of the rental. Pile as many stops as you can inside on the passenger seat and floor. Just run your stops in EDD or RDO.

Yes it is a no no and they don't take the seat out any longer. We still pile stops inside.

Have a few totes in back. There should be shelves in the rental, use totes to manage the smalls. Have a tote by the door for smalls.

Last time I had a rental, I carried stops in the cab.

If it snows, get a set of rubber work gloves to keep your hands dry. The latch on the rentals can get goobered up with snow.

And, some of them had a pass-thru between the cab and box.

Just pile them up in order in the back.

I lost count of how many times I forgot to duck and hit my head going through that pass thru.

They do.......and they don't.


No telematics. I'll be warm as can be or cool as can be if we get a few warm days. I'll jam to the radio all day. Just don't Expect me to do any of it very efficiently
