If I had 90% of business off by noon, I'd be done by 3pm. Must be nice, 90% for me is about 1630hrs...but I digress...lol

Yes truck must be organized to the best of your ability .... after the morning crap storm they throw in there ......as you progress through your morning slowly put the load in a neat fashion... look around ( without moving(unless its in the way) what the larger resi boxes are etc and keep a mental note)... keep your hand cart either strapped or out of your way but secure it....it is your friend but it will bite you if your not careful ... be as neat as you possibly can without wasting alot of early time... once the crap storm has settled you can allow more time to put the puzzle in place.

Some days I feel fortunate to have my Air stops delivered by noon. Super rural.
Depending on the route I'm on, and how pissed off I am in the morning I have two VERY different approaches.
After the PCM, while I'm on the clock I'll sort 1-4k if possible before leaving the building. Once I've made it through all that stuff I hit 5-8000 to make the rest of the afternoon easier. (These are usually days when I punch out under 8)
If I'm in a crap mood, all I'll do before leaving the building is check my airs. No sorting or shifting anything around, so when I arrive at my first stop, 70% of the truck is now floor 1,2,3,or 4. Then I just spend the rest of the day digging. Their games are fun to play sometimes

There is no way you would be allowed to do this in my center.
Do you count that as AM time or sort and load? We have been told we can no longer use S&L.
If I'm on a route that's far enough up the belt that I have to wait anyways, I might as well put it to use.
I never put in sort/load time. If I have 15 minutes of inside building time, I don't see that as my problem

I concur. It would get all over your hands and make organizing your car a messy affair. Good advice.

My experience is with a very small center. One main belt with an upper belt to feed the lower half. 24-28 routes are the norm. Anything more than 10 minutes of AM time (provided the preload is wrapped) is considered excessive. There is no way they would allow us to sit there for 15-20 minutes sorting the 1000-4000 sections. That just wouldn't happen.
Now, if we are waiting for air or there is some other delay, I will also use that time to go through the car, sorting and checking for misleads; in fact, they will direct us to do just that, yet most of the guys will stand outside their cars BSing.

Organization is the key to success.
I go thru my air see if I can knock out anything with it. Then off to my bulk business. Knock that out.
Line up the rest of my business and knock that out.
Then off to my resi. I line it up stop for stop how I run it. So for the rest of the day, it's just grab the next box and go.

For me I don't look at anything in the truck until I get on route , I deliver my business which is on the 1000 shelf and stumble though my 2000 shelf for deliveries
After that I pull over and put my whole load on the floor and reload the whole truck the way I want to run it , I lose 20min doing it but it makes the rest of the day easier because I know everything in that truck at that point and I don't have to spend time looking for anything

Do either of you realize how much of a waste of time it is to stop and sort the pkg car?

20min like I posted above and your point being what , I might lose 20min in the morning but I am not looking for any stops after that and I am not spending no time in the back of the truck at that point and that is real nice when it's 100 outside and 120 in the back of the truck
So you do what you like and I will do what I like

I do not sort. I was told a couple years ago that we were paid to deliver not sort. At the time I used to take my lunch break and then sort the rest of my packages. I was called in the office and asked why I was stealing time.
So from then on I get in the car after PCM and go to first stop. I rarely even move package up to front of car. I know it causes me to walk a little extra but I hate moving the same box more than I need to.

Sorting wastes time.

And so does looking for a pkg that fell into the wrong area
The only way I can see you saying what you say is because of your load and your loader , not all of us a blessed with a 70 stop day and a good loader
