[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 1142346, member: 16334"] Thats the problem with a custom load, its meant for the driver that does it everyday, week by week and yearly. It wouldve been better to know that he was going on vacation next week and loaded it as the slap dictates. Preload is a sensitive type of job. You have to be aware of everything thats happening the entire time your loading. Recall what you've done, and move things around as needed. Believe it or not, most loads can be called custom. Such as keeping 40+ in a slap of 5000, where the FL3 spot would be, of course if there is no FL3 that is. Such as keeping certain boxes of air, which are also full of ice and fish, that also leak often, in the back along side the last air stop and first ground stop. Also, a driver will blame you for late air in the drop of a hat. The reason, well they could fire a driver for just one late NDA, I've seen it happen. So they rather blame you, call it found in load ( fill ) to save their own asses, its nothing against you. Also, if you load it as you've done and told the cover about it each day and forget yesterday to tell him. Hes probably not going to recall and thusly blame you for just not knowing. So telling him your doing so each day, this will refresh his / her memory so you dont have that little talk with a FT nobody. Even if you clock out and havnt seen the driver yet, stick around just to point it out to them, they will be greatful that they wont be getting yelled at or fired for something out of their power to control. Or write them a love note, place it on their seat if you have to leave in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
