[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 2981320, member: 67494"] Our center is screwed. It doesn't have the infrastructure for this volume. We are up 50% in the last three years. In the last three months have I started seeing 10am. Air doesn't come at 8 anymore. Usually 9. Trailers being late or spotty leaves gaps in the belt or a dry belt or unmanageable heavy flows. We are busy on a dead belt. Drivers help loaders finish up. While this is going on, more air trailers and package cars sometimes come. On third belt I had 3 cars with 1300 pcs and all irregs/overs waiting to be loaded in a coned off section of the lot. Feeders have problems getting through because of this yard sale looking fiasco. It's not that we can't do it, it's so bad that shelves are spilling out to floor runs and the aisle clogged and stacked with a few rugs and grills and lawnmowers sitting in the parking lot needing to be loaded. I don't blame my coworkers except a few who come in when they want and don't do anything but make everyones job harder. Short 20 heads in preload and 8 call out. 4 cars per loader. Or splitting and 4. We had it so bad one day we just let two cars overflow on 3rd belt and started loading 9am. It's pretty nasty. Unloaders never stay, they're sent home, but some offer every day and get turned down. [/QUOTE]
