[QUOTE="AikenRooster, post: 4846970"] Thanks. I’ve really been working on thinking about “cubing out” the shelves more. I kind of put an “anchor box” of, let’s say 6060 as a marker, and then putting smaller boxes and tee shirts and envelopes behind it and on top. But, I didn’t realize I could sort of surround it with other 60xx, as you said. Sometimes, they don’t put the load charts out immediately, and I get burned, because it’s a bulk stop, and I have to go to the floor, but I can’t help that. Another thing I’ve been trying to work on is irregulars and big boxes .... just really trying to use every square inch(millimeter) available, and mark the box. I feel bad for the driver who has to deal with it, but I had a truck today with 300 pieces, and 88 of them were for one bulk stop and 38 for another, rdl, and, rdr, respectively. A lot of these boxes were HUGE, and I packed it all as best that I could, and you still couldn’t walk down the middle at the end. We just had to put the stuff on the back end. Apparently, this driver is used to it, and wasn’t angry. You’re right about scanning and stacking out. I hate to do it, but clearing the belt, first and foremost, seems to save more work than chasing blow byes. BTW, somebody down the line got 50 consecutive boxes of 5 ream typing paper @ 30 lbs/box. That truck was probably leaning sideways this morning. Lol [/QUOTE]
