[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1082626, member: 45493"] When were you hired? When I was running my PD in 2002-2004, one of our load methods (that we had to memorize...ZING!) was to "Maximize space in trailers". While you are making it sound new, this has always been in place for me. But the load methods were how you described....heavy on bottom, lock-in packages, natural T's, back-fill, cornerstone packages....and bags ended up at the top or in the back-fill. If we could get the boxes to the top as well, then great. And I even think the dumbest loader would realize that putting bags on the bottom do not make for good walls. They clearly don't, and you won't ever find that on paper as an official method from the company. Secondly, I'm an Operations cheerleader...so really, who gives a rats ass what IE says?? 90% of the time, in my experience, they don't come from operations....hired directly from the street with a college degree hot off the press. I take IE's opinions as 'spirited suggestions', and then continue to make my own calls in my own operations. IE guys get overruled all the time... I could go into a rant about how I think IE people need to have been promoted from within, FROM the operations....and how the training department should be for veteran PT sups who actually know a thing or two, and not a spot for a newly promoted PT sup...but I digress...
