[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1270220, member: 43119"] Remembering what order the shelves run is step 1 of 1000 in putting together a decent load. A typical new hire, weeks into his employment, will still have to stop and think which shelf is which when he steps into the truck. I was right there with them when I started. It takes time for it to hit your "muscle memory", I guess you could call it. And even then, that's still an early step in improving speed and accuracy. If all you do is walk into the truck and drop the box somewhere on, near, or around the appropriate shelf... then your load quality is going to be complete crap. On a light day, like today, I [I]will[/I] indeed say that everything I did today was, as you described, "caveman retarded". But during the busier times of the year, it is still, after 1.5 years of loading these same routes, mentally challenging to put together decent loads for the drivers. [/QUOTE]
