Would you rather have a 6500 on the 5000 section or on the floor?
Drivers: if your 6000 section is slammed

On the floor. I'm much more likely to look there for a 6500 package than on the 5000 shelf. Unless it was a bulk stop of the same distinct looking packages that I could easily spot on the 5000 shelf. Even in that case, I'd prefer the floor first and then the 5000 shelf as a last resort.

You never move packages up. They are always dropped to the floor (not another shelf) if they won't fit.

Normally I would say that makes sense but the dudes surepost is at rdr

If you let the driver know where you moved it. Wherever is best for you as a preloader. Either tell them or a quick note left on the seat

If it makes sense to do a move like that just tell the driver but I am sure the surepost bags would easily stick out.

I have a heavy RDR stop as well. When it doesn't all fit in the RDR section my loader knows to use the back of shelves 5 and 6 for the overflow. But only the back. Not like, random spots on the shelves.

Im sure its different at most hubs but say I have 150ish packages in surepost for a truck. Ill probably load about 100 of those with maybe 3 or 4 bags coming through. Some of those bags have like 1 or 2 at the most Lol. But yeah I can pretty much put those anywhere there is room because the drivers will know what they are anyways

Inordinately Right
Floor. I'd rather have it mixed with the surepost than on the wrong shelf.
All our routes that deliver surepost deliver them early in the day, almost always first stop after NDA's.
Alot of routes Edd are just plain wrong, no gurantee they will actually do the 5000 shelf first, so floor is much better
Great topic. Glad you started a thread about this.
Yep. I'd suggest the loader write it on the route load sheet with their marker since they're taken down and tossed anyway. A quick 5 second "1x5500@bk6k" scribble works for me.

dont know, but i think its a good question.
Loaders that actually have pride in their work and try to, somewhat, accomodate their driver will, in turn, accomodate the customers if they become a driver.
idk if you're going that route Matty with your business, but you have a good work ethic.
We joke around a lot, but its really becoming clear that work ethic is disintegrating at the upper level and our level. smh

I had a resi run before going into feeders, my biggest problem was not the loader as if I got bulk there usually was room on the floor to put it all together, the problem I constantly had was the dispatcher PALing 80 of my 150 stops to the 6000 section then nothing in the 8000. WTF? And don't give me that nonsense about the loader should've "snaked" the load,that crap never worked.

Thanks dude. I do take pride in my work. I mess around on here a bit because it makes me laugh when I can get people fired up, but I don't really mean anything negative.
Actually, just to brag a bit, I have the least amount of misloads on my line, and one of the least in the building. That's all well and good and all, but really im stoked just because I don't have to hear it from management lol
