[QUOTE="konsole, post: 592441, member: 23965"] I have to disagree with the 2-3 misloads a week being the problem, in fact I don't agree that it should be an issue at all. Yes I agree that we should be trying to eliminate all misloads but in an average week if your loading 700 packages a day, 3500 packages a week and only getting 3 misloads out of that 3500, then you are misloading only .086% of the packages you load. No matter how good a preloader is, there has to be some leaniency when it comes to a couple misloads a week. I understand that 3 misloads per preloader adds up when you combine all the preloaders together, but that is something UPS is gonna have to learn to deal with. So what happens to the misloads? well most of them are ground so they just get delivered by the wrong driver or they get brought back to the building and delivered the next day because unless I'm mistaken there is no time guarantee in ground packages. For every 750 packages or so each preloader should be allowed (and maybe even expected) to have 1 misload and anyone that thinks that a few misloads a week shouldnt be allowed needs to consider how unrealistic they are. You take any person and give them 750 tasks and shove those tasks down their throat and lets see how many people can do all 750 tasks without 1 error. Aint gonna happen, sorry folks, I've been preloading at UPS for 8 years now and for the first 7 years I heard very little, if any mention about the problem with misloads. UPS can get as worried as it wants about its future in this economy but it can't get comfortable with unrealistic expectations. How about at the end of the day when the belts go off signaling the primary is done, how about the belts stay off for 5 minutes, that way the people in the primary can head home and the preloaders have a few minutes to look through their trucks for any misloads. Sounds like a good idea right? Ain't gonna happen though you know why? because it could mean some people end up standing around for a few minutes and of course we cant have that no no no. [/QUOTE]
