[QUOTE="soberups, post: 825726, member: 14668"] The OP claimed to be a fellow member of Local 162, which means he/she works in either the Swan Island or Tualatin building. Both buildings are completely cluster-coital as far as the preload is concerned. Swan Island is in the middle of implementing PAS. Tualatin (where I work) was designed to load 124 cars and we are forcing over 160 per day in there. The current push for production means cars are being eliminated at the last minute while preloaders are being forced to get off of the clock before their assignment is wrapped. If your route is anywhere near one that got eliminated, then your load will probably wind up being a "fling job" (fling the nearest package into the nearest car) and there might be several people who wind up "loading" your route by the time the shift is over. As I post this during my lunch break, two entire shelves in my car have packages that were PAL'd to a completely different route and then switched over to mine at the last minute. The PAL labels were scribbled out with a crayon and new HIN numbers written manually. The printer which prints out the add/cut sheets is chronically out of paper and/or ink, so cuts frequently occur in EDD but dont wind up actually getting pulled out of your car. I have seen train wrecks that were better organized. The ONLY thing that matters to the preload management in my building is to get the preloaders off of the clock and get the packages out of the building. Whether or not they actually make service means nothing. 50 misloads a month? Sounds pretty damn good to me when you consider that we (drivers and preload) have been [B]set up to fail [/B]by an utterly incompetent IE and management team. [/QUOTE]
