New scanners destroying preload productivity

[Box Ox]

FXG package handlers have been scanning packages as they are loaded for at least 6 years.

I'd take a nap between packages if I were loading FedEx volume. So, can see how scanners would be no problem.

Lol. Misloads have been a major problem at our center. It's the hot thing right now, because our center manager makes us deliver EVERYTHING. So they tell us last week we are getting this new system that is going to almost eliminate all misloads next month. Apparently we weren't slated to get it till next year. It's being pushed up.

Now hearing this it sounds like it's worthless. Does it work? Who cares if it slows things down. Their idea. You get paid by the hour.

I'm all for less misloads. I'm not for leaving the building at 10 because of more failed technology.

How does scanning a package and throwing it into a package car eliminate misloads? It doesn't. 40 years ago when I loaded package cars we read from the bottom up. ZIP, state, city, address, business name, never had misloads. And drivers started at 8:00 AM.

How many minutes does the scanning system slow the preload? 20? 40? An hour?

Scanner has an LCD screen that communicates with sensors installed inside the trucks. Scanner beeps when you scan and then walk into the wrong truck or scan packages for one truck and then scan packages for different truck without having released the previous packages.

I agree with that!
That's not the reason.
