[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4847045, member: 79761"] So one thing to help with those blow-out bulk stops-- it doesn't really matter where you put them in the truck, so long as they're all together and you let the driver know you changed up the gameplan. Say you get 60 pieces for one stop going to your 6000 shelf. Don't try to get them all on the shelf. Stack out that stop, and as the shift winds down you should be able to eye [B]somewhere[/B] in the truck that you can make room and fit them. Worse comes to worst, leave them stacked out. Let the driver know what the deal is, and load the bulk stops up last if you really don't have much room to work with. That way they're all together and the driver can hit that stop early on and clear out some room to move around and work in. Some routes are used to not having a walkway at the start of the day. Bricked out front to back and floor to ceiling sucks, but the day is made so much easier if you just leave about 3-4sq.ft. of space right by the bulkhead door. Build a damn wall if you have to, but the driver needs to be able to get in the back. There's nothing worse than getting to your first stop and being unable to open the bulkhead because everything collapsed into the door.... well, there [B]are[/B] worse things, but that's a :censored:ty way to start the day.
