[QUOTE="soberups, post: 826040, member: 14668"] I have been witnessing first hand the cluster#$%k that is a Tualatin building preload for the last 24 years. The facility was built in 1986 and it was overcrowded and functionally obsolete before the ink on the blueprints was even dry. And anybody who works there has been set up to fail before they even set foot in the door. Throw in the last-minute elimination of routes and the frantic push to get the preloaders off the clock and the packages out of the building, and you have a train wreck masquerading as a preload operation. Accountability? How is it fair to hold any one preloader accountable for misloads that may have occured half an hour after that preloader got sent home? The technology exists to resolve the problem. We are on PAS, so if every preloader was given a finger scanner they could scan each package and scan the bar code label on the back door of the package car prior to loading it. If they were entering the wrong car an alert tone would sound, and it would be possible to verify who loaded which package into which car. They wont implement this system because it would decrease PPH. As it stands now, there is no way to know who is truly responsible for a given misload. When I get into my car in the AM and see a perfect load, in sequence with all packages faced and lipped, and then look down on the floor and see a jumbled pile of random packages by the back door, I know damn good and well that "my" preloader didnt leave that pile there and any misloads in that pile are [I]not[/I] his/her fault.
