[QUOTE="j13501, post: 1705098, member: 918"] This is a full time preload in a boxline building. 99% of the boxline buildings at UPS are in buildings with a hub operation. That's why boxlines are so effective- they hold a large number of packages during the hub sort, so the don't have to be re-handled. That fairly typical. What's not typical is that this is a full time preload. If it was part time, you would just add loaders, and shorten the sort span. With a full time preload, you need to have enough load work for the preloaders to work 8 hours. That's why 6-8 cars per loader is the right number. I was a preload manager, many years ago in a full time preload and had one load position that loaded 9 cars. It's just math- how many packages divided by how many hours worked. [/QUOTE]
