[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1179597"] I'm not quite sure what you mean by loading in a house, but it's not off a boxline-- a conveyor belt that turns to rollers at the top of our belt/line, in what seems like a hastily put-together add-on to our center to allow room for a third belt. Thinking about the set-up, though, I can see why it would be called a "house," and, honest to God, it's called the doghouse in my center. The trucks are big as hell. Large enough for me to be able to sequence the packages near perfectly without anything on the floor but irregs so long as I don't get hit hard all morning. I'll make sure to ask what kind of trucks they are tomorrow morning, but they're definitely two of the biggest three package cars on my belt. I couldn't do that with 4 trucks. Hell, if they add a third onto my two I'll probably feel dead every morning. Big respect on holding down that spot. Yezzir, preload shift loading those boxy brown trucks. Is this unusual to a lot of you? I don't know of any trucks on the preload in my center that regularly have less than 200 packages in them. There are a few tiny trailers that get hitched onto the back of certain trucks, though, and they don't get too bad most of the time... Unless you get the one that goes to Atlantic Cycle every gosh darn day. Tetris isn't hard, but it can be a pain when your pieces are all 6+ft long, weigh 45lbs+ and/or are huge tires. But yeah, preload. ~4am-9am. [/QUOTE]
