[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 1121252, member: 16334"] Oh yea its a lame attempt at saving money, thus hours. I'm sure this brillant idea came from observations on cars where they can load all of it on the shelf. I've seen this type of car just once in my five years here. My problem, is when they start moving stuff around, as upsguy72 said, the lip lock either doesnt work and stuff falls on the floor anyways. Too tight of a load is just asking for large amounts, if not all of it, to take a trip to the floor anyways. Another is, as they move stuff around, they block spaces where I can place stuff on shelf, thus having to move that box out of the way for the space. So, it was a useless attempt at anything and a huge waste of time/ energy on my part. They went from telling preloaders to load a car by the numbers to cramming it all as far up as possible in brick type forms. I laughed one day, when the FT sup came over and showed me to take one and place it in the back, I thought to myself " oh yea thats gonna save 50,000$ an hour as is!". I see this as just another excuse to see open space within package cars to add more work ontop of more and more. Its going to slow everything down, and in time ( like 6-12 months ), to have the same people talking about it calling it out and demonizing the practice and blaming the workers for doing so. I'm getting tired of seeing my PT within car touching stuff and making a very good looking load into a steaming pile of crap. [/QUOTE]
