[QUOTE="soberups, post: 877318, member: 14668"] Actually, the way to improve a [I]preload[/I] is to make an [I]administrative[/I] change. If you want good load quality from preload, then stop treating the preload operation as a seperate entity with its own set of metric goals. Instead, [I]combine[/I] its numbers with the on-road part of each operation so that the preload gets "charged" with overallowed[I] driver [/I]hours. Right now, there is absolutely no motivation for the average preload manager to focus on load [I]quality[/I]. [I]His[/I] numbers (PPH) will go down, but the "credit" for the increase in driver productivity goes to the [I]on road[/I]. This is bass-ackwards from where our priorities should be. The prelad manager and center manager should be [I]co-equals on the same team[/I], with [I]equal and shared[/I] responsibility for the "numbers" that [I]both[/I] sides generate. What would very quickly happen in such a scenario...is that we would see a far [I]greater[/I] emphasis on load quality and misload reduction. The slight decrease in preload PPH would more than be offset by the [I]huge[/I] increase in on-road productivity. $45-at-overtime overallowed hours for drivers would decrease...miles spent shagging misloads would decrease...missed packages would decrease...at the "cost" of slight drop in PPH generated by those whose wages are the lowest.
