Hi, I’m new. First day. A few questions?

[Eyeballkid]

Do you have any idea what a custom load is?

I do not.

Moving bulk stops to more easily accessible parts of the pkg car.

For example, you may have a bulk stop PAL’d to the 1000 section that would be more easily delivered out of the rear door. You would either load it RDR or at the end of the 6000 shelf.

Good lord, Dave! It was the guy's first day. Give him a freaking break.




(BTW, custom loads are not allowed.)

Sure, a load prepared especially for YOU. Had to post that after your reprimand in post 23.

The most common direction from a supervisor that makes no sense is to bulk in the car while packages are still coming down the belt. So you bulk in the car and start stacking out everything else that's still coming down. You're still left with stacks outside of the car, but now you either can't load them, or can't reach the correct location to load.

Again, thanks. I did what I was told to do, and at the end of the shift I will admit his truck looked like a mess. I’m sure there is a better way to do this. I’m 37, and have a college degree. I did the best I could.

Not sure what a college degree has to do with loading trucks

But, carry on
