[QUOTE="hseofpayne, post: 358584"] I loaded for 5 years and we had these load diagrams that were taped to the wall behind the car it went with. Every AM you would have to make sure the right cars were backed into the right doors or switch the charts around. Sometimes the charts would just disappear or when loaders went on vacation we would find out the chart was no where close to how the car was supposed to be loaded. I had this one cranky old fart driver who would come in every AM and ask "What the Hell you got on here today?" This would be followed by a tirade about how bad a loader I was. One morning he got particularly buttholish and told me I had loaded his car completely backwards the day before. I just listened and said nothing, but the next morning I DID load that ole farts car completly backwards; bulk stops in the front that went in the back and vice versa. All the shelves were flip flopped and backwards. When he came in the next AM, he walked up to me real quiet and said," I'm sorry, I will never say another thing about your loads, you do as good a job as you can." It was much harder to load back then, you had 4 or 5 cars worth of streets and sequence numbers to memorize plus memorizing the load charts. When preloaders screw up now, with all the technology we have now, you just scratch your head and wonder how they would have fared back then. [/QUOTE]
