My entire pen is overwhelmed by too much volume everyday..

6 or 7 routes per loader normal anywhere?

I've heard of this happening when the volume is lower. At my hub, we all still have 3 trucks each with close to 500 pc each. Would be doable if we started a bit earlier.

Rather than start earlier we just have this utter failure of everyone everyday, and now there are multiple people quitting. We are increasingly short handed.

Why not just start a little earlier?! It's so obvious it's frustrating!

Oh yeah greed...

My hub, MT, sending "newbies" home after 30 minutes, add/cuts 1 hour before driver time, when full stack out occurs after the ty break time.

Yup, same here

What would you have us say and do about it? I bring in my loaders early to clear cages, but there is only so much allotted time.

When volume is high, loaders lay down and give up instead of working through. When this happens, the stackout is their fault and I let them know. When they keep going and don't get discouraged, I do my best to get them help at the end.

Maybe giving up is sometimes a normal human conclusion when something makes no sense everyday.

Could you communicate to management that there is a consistent problem with this? It isn't logical to blame the loaders when this happens constantly.

Started with 4... medium volume... went to 7 same volume... cut one... all returned to 2 of remaining 6

I cant understand your typing. I will assume you are doing 7 cars cut to 6?
more than 5 is unheard of. We don't get extra time how it is. always runs into driver's time.

Yes. Ending day with 5, 6, 7 cars... been a few days now, due to moving other chumps to other cars, unload, etc.

Mgmt saved the seat and let the pilot fall to the ground.
Now they can get data on his buckle violations.

Management and Teamsters get along rather well at my center.

What sort were you on as a part timer?

Local Sort or off the street.

How hard is it to load packages into a package car?
It is designed hold packages for bleeps sake.

Local Sort or off the street.

Makes sense. Preload is a whole different ballgame.

Which is why they blame the continuously failed intercepts of a moved business on the driver when I don't personally lube the box, wrap it in a bow, and hand-deliver it to a clerk.

Your center manager will be rotated out for the local/regional psycho sooner or later. Can change everything.
