It sucks how you good you look can depend on some stoner

I would agree that they often expect way too much. I have been a staunch advocate for scanners on the back of cars to give loaders the technology backup UPS gives drivers through diad.
Still, the op's point is what a bad load does to drivers.

I know what the load does to the drivers, it's out of the preloaders control is what I'm trying to get across.
When I go into work, there is a load diagram for the number of pieces per shelf taped to back of the PC... there's been a few times where section 7 or 8 will have 90+ pieces while the rest will have 25-40, it's not a preloader problem but a dispatch problem

Is that load plan carved in stone?

I had some buried O70 NDA package yesterday that was late because nobody let me know it was there. There should be a better system...

There was a better system. The system was thrown out due to technology and to save on wages.

This was before I stacked out when we wrapped...but it's the general idea.

You stacked out? Warning letter time!

Lol I had 40 pieces for a business for that route stacked up on my slide. I try not to stack packages behind the cars...it's a bad habit.

I used to do this stuff on my younger years. Some people abused it. Now no one is allowed in there at all. They claim drivers were doing pt work for free.
To a degree I agree. Just think the preloaders need to do their work correctly!
Sorry, today you'd get warning lettered out of a job in our bld. Not judging, just saying drivers cannot help preloaders around here. But preloaders can kill a driver with bad loads.

I see what you mean and agree. I know other managers in my building that don't want you in there before start time. I guess I was fortunate enough to have a half way decent management team and trainer

Wow, that is an amazingly shiny new package car...not a speck of foam or anything to be found.

Well...I wouldn't lick the floor...but my drivers are not pigs.

Those two smalls in RDL will end up RDR by the time the driver is on area.

Just sayin'...

'twas joking...but could also have fun with this one

They were probably 20 lbs each...those little things...but I pushed them back...I had 40 more RDL packages to go in at the end....Home Depot.

That looks like a load from 30 years ago. The cars in my building go out everyday with 4 or 5 times that much volume. What size package car is that.

 

[oldngray]

Looks like a P1000

 

[PT Car Washer]

Why not use a P 700 with all of that wasted space?

If you read...I hadn't bulked the truck out when I took the pic. Dispatch plan said 265 or so pieces...it's all residential stops save 3 or 4 businesses in a strip mall. 4 or 5 times that volume? Show me a 1000 with over 900 pieces...lol

I had a route for a while that delivery wise would have barely needed a 600 but I needed an 800 to make pickups.

No clue about his pickups... but when Home depot gets carpet happy...shoving that in a 700 would be a giant pain.
