ExactlyMaybe if they didn’t slam 3/4 of the days volume down the preloaders throat in the first 1 1/2 of the shift misloads wouldn’t be so bad.
The numbers make it easier and quicker for preloaders to place the packages in order, especially later in the preload when PCs are getting stuffed.Writing HINs on packages isn't necessary. The shelves are already numbered. If you put the package in the correct spot on the shelf, you can easily find it by looking at the shelf number. Also, nothing beyond the first two digits are useful to drivers unless it's a large add cut, since gaps between used numbers are usually at least 20-40 apart. Looking at this example, you can easily see these packages are likely 89xx, 85xx, 84xx, and 81xx just by shelf position. If you're off by 100 it's not that big a deal.

The key is to learn to load using the least width of the shelf. Packages should fit deep first, then tall. Envelopes should always fit between other packages. See example.

Also - no way you ever get entire shelves loaded with packages that are all relatively the same size/height, like in your example. That's a dream world example......

Please, please, please don't ever do that.or used a television to extend a shelf outward
Too late, I've already done it three times this peak season! Don't forget the soundbar you can wedge directly above!Please, please, please don't ever do that.
And then the driver goes down a bumpy road, the tv falls off the shelf and is either damaged or crushes other packages below it.Too late, I've already done it three times this peak season! Don't forget the soundbar you can wedge directly above!

Tv's are much too light now to do either of those things.And then the driver goes down a bumpy road, the tv falls off the shelf and is either damaged or crushes other packages below it.
True, tv's are probably too light and too well packed to be damaged, but I've had packages damaged by a tv that fell off the top shelf.Tv's are much too light now to do either of those things.
I signed a big fat zero on mine and handed it to my manager and he seemed irritated. I'm still in my 30 so I feel like I should have just to stay on his good side but from what I've read that charity is a scam.
"... And we do ask that you give"
So why not pay them what they are worth and give them the time to do the job correctly?
