That was the best time.. Any preloader would know what box went on whose PC...
Now the sup's don't know what goes where without the SPAW label

I'd say that's arguable. It would depend on the cover driver and how well they know the route. If I was a cover driver and got to run certain routes consistently, then go ahead and custom load. But if you're thrown out blind........good luck.

140lbs, yep that automatically makes it a RDR or RDL and if that's not possible it's going behind the wheel of FL3 or FL4

Our cover drivers are pretty cool, most of them cover the same 3-4 areas instead of being thrown out in the total blind a lot.

When was it scanned? Possibly it being egress, it was sent down the belt to him at the end of the day.
We have a box line system. Irregs are dropped off between sets of PC's

I wish when I started I got to load PC's on day one....I had to unload trucks until I hit seniority. Of course I would rather unload than pull for 5 damn PC's like I did last week. Normal is 3 to 4.I've had 6 days in preload. Day 1, I did my (3 car) set with a sup. Day 2&3, did the same set by myself and was keeping up, starting to get used to it. Day 4, someone called in - sups put me on a new (4 car) set at the end of the belt with a sup helping half the day, went OK. Day 5, someone else called in and they put me on a different set (heavy load 3 car), was completely overwhelmed and told them I wasn't ready for it to which they acknowledged and agreed (had 9 misloads). Day 6, someone went on vacation and they put me on a different set, this time 'splitting' at the front of the belt.
So, I'm a little frazzled by my current experience in preload. For one thing, is it normal to be swapped around so much? I've read some people get pushed around because they're the lowest common denominator, yet the sups have told me they trust me more than some of their more seasoned people (one of which has been working the easier first set I did). I have a hard time wrapping my head around that statement, especially given the clusterthat was day 5. Then again, trusting me 'more' doesn't necessarily mean trust.
I guess I'm just trying to get a feel for where I truly stand, from people that have nothing to lose or gain from bull
My biggest question at the moment, is what is 'normal' for training? E.g., was I left to my own devices earlier than most?
My biggest issue at the moment is keeping up with the stream of packages coming down the belt. It feels like I spend too much time scanning packages, trying not to miss any for my cars and then I don't have enough time to actually shove the

The only normal for training I can think of, every new hire will eventually get overwhelmed. Management wants to see how good of a worker you are.
If you continue having nearly double digit misloads, you'll probably be offered a PT sup position.

Relatively new preloader here. I mostly have done slide work thus far, but I have loaded cars, worked smalls, unloaded onto the belt as well as unloaded bulk (probably counts as loading cars), etc. I report to the slide and then they move me wherever once they figure out what they need me to do.
People try not to do that at my location. I used to do it before I learned better.

That’s Craptacular
As a loader, the flow makes or breaks your day. End of story.

Agree. If you can't see the belt you and the splitter can't split the belt, it's a miserable morning.
