[QUOTE="Gonzo0082, post: 969270, member: 40468"] I've been loading package cars for 5 years now. I started out during peak. I must admit the loader should be able to put the labels either facing up or to the front. Everyday im loading anywhere between 1000 - 1250 packages between 3 routes stuffed into a 3.5 or less day. I agree sometimes i will have a 1300 box behind a 1400 box but in my opinion that isnt a bad load. I never have missloads, and never have a 8000 box in the 6000 section. I wouldnt say im the best because there are people that load it stop for stop regardless of what the pal says. But i will atleast ask every driver I load for if there is a certain spot he/she would like certain packages to go. But i've found that most of the drivers no matter how the truck is loaded they are still never satisfied. When i jumped during peak i always went out with 1 of the drivers i loaded so it gave me a whole new appreciation for how the load comes off rather than on. To me it seems you are one of those drivers who are never happy no matter what your load looks like. When your loader actually has a good load, do you say thank you? do you say nice job? or do you always yell at the guy because he "isnt good enough"? How about 1 friday bring in an orange juice for him? or stop at mcd's and get him a dollar breakfast sandwich, and then see what your load looks like on the following day. Your right, we are stressed because we have supervisors telling us to do it this way, then the drivers telling us to do it another way. We have so many packages that we deal with that it will never be "perfect" every day, but with some encouragement from the drivers we can try our best to make them happy. I load for the driver, not the supervisor. To me they are just there to supervise, the driver tells us what we can do to make it better. Sorry for the long post, it's not just to you but to every driver out there that reads this. Try to encourage your loaders, the supervisors never do. The preload supervisor just wants all the packages into the right truck. [/QUOTE]
