[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 241129"] Unfortunately (if you're on PAS) this new system seems to increase misloads...not eliminate them. After a while 56E and 56F start to look the same sometimes, especially in the heat of the moment when you can only afford a quick glance. On the lines I work/supervise on we are using the first 4 letters of the drivers last names, it seems to help a little but not that much to be honest. Myself when I was a loader (and even know when I have to cover....our staffing is atrocious) I would have a few days with zero then I'd have one (or two) then another few days with 0 and so on. Before PAS I'd be lucky if I had 1 a month. PAS helps people who aren't familiar with the place to be effective. However this also seems to allow management expect a new hire to be as effective on their own as say someone who's been here a year or so immediately....which is unfair and foolish on our part. 5 minutes of training is not nearly enough, even with PAS. When I was new back a few years They had a week long training packet and then weekly follow-ups until you reached your 30 days. During this time, You loaded from day one but you had a supe with you teaching as you went. It went slow (no PAS then haha) but they got it and eventually they'd get better and faster at it.
