[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 388409"] we are told to have it faced for driver selection (a method at our building anyway). I'm not trying to say the company or my district is wrong for wanting it done as it did help with misloads, but wanting it in the same time as before (when we didn't have to) is just not smart. Trying to explain that to our manager (who has admittedly never preloaded) is like talking to a wall. Those of us who were preloaders before becoming supes get it, but as I said, no one listens. A comfortable speed for me when loading (with pulling and facing PALs) was around 200 (210 at the most). Thats with all labels pulled and about 1 misload a week or less. Granted it doesn't take much time but it adds up over the course of the day (some of those labels just don't come off that quick lol). Wouldn't the money we paid a PTimer be recouped by not having as many drivers making OT (no offense guys) due to less misloads (proven here) and better load quality (build and sequence). I dunno just a thought. If drivers can find everything or almost everything right away and not have to meet other drivers or run off misloads themselves, I think OT would go down a bit as well. I had a test preloader (just my own personal research), one preloader I have almost never has misloads...he's also the one who always needs help as he's behind due to following all methods I've described. He consistently loads at around 195 an hour. His trucks are perfect (not kidding), everything in order and all kept together. However when he does have misloads (again almost never) we found it was when his pph went above 205. Now whether its due to him hustling a bit more (or we were able to send him help) I don't know, but the numbers didn't lie any day his pph was 205 or above he had a misload.
