Funny thing, you mention the hand cart. We had a driver, not too long ago lose a tooth from not having his handcart secure. His car was at at an angle in the car, and as he was sorting a box fell off the shelf and hit the base of the cart, knocking it into his face. Instant tooth extraction!

140 stops, 400 pkgs, 28 pickups, 200 pkgs.
My loader was off this week for finals so I was stuck with one of the worst loaders in the bldg. Still did not sort---cursed him out several times on road---but still did not sort.

I sort after lunch (1230-1330) and I usually take 10 mins after the first stop after lunch. I put it in pal order. Even if the dol isn't correct or the way I run the route. It ls a lot faster to sort that way for me because I'll at least know where it is according to diad. As for the person who said they sort in morning. That would definitely not fly in my center.
They bum rush us out as fast as they can and if for any reason it takes longer than 10 minutes we code it off to preload. I think it's little s skilled something in other work which is preload they tell us.

If you can handle feeders you spend little time organizing the truck. Other than the coffee cup and pastries. Lol?

I sort to the extent I'm looking on the perticular shelf for the next parcel. If I can't find it I send in a message not found as per center policy and move on. If I find it later I'll go back and run it.
I sort my first section before I leave the building in the morning. I am boxed in by other package cars and I can't move until about two thirds of the drivers move their cars. If the Preload is down, we are told to record ten minutes of AM time even if it is really twenty. I just work as directed, I make more money doing it their way. I do stop and sort several times during the day, I like everything lined up so I don't waste time searching for packages when I get to a stop. As sorry as our Preload is, its a good idea to make sure I actually have the correct package before I drive to the next stop. We get ORION next month, I'm sure it will work as well as PAS/EDD......
I'm an extremely organized person by nature, I always like to plan ahead.

Sorry, but I don't see it as a waste of time. I'm organized, remaining stops pulled to forward shelves ready for pick ups, ALOT less stress, I know where everything is, It's stop for stop, I work alot smoother and safer, don't look like a maroon not being able to find that one more box, takes me only three seconds to grab that next box, scan it and be walking to deliver it rather than frantictly looking for it when it's 135 in the back, then fallling behind.........shall I continue?
It's called I take Pride in my job.

I'd say compress the 5000 section and setup as much as you can from there.

I am also an extremely organized person. Perhaps I am just lucky in that I have an excellent preloader but I spend little to no time sorting. He was off this week and I had Waldo loading the car but I still spent little to no time sorting.
Oh believe me I can sort it stop for stop by address. But ups did the hard part by putting a number on every box. It's a lot easier for me at least, to say hey this stop is on the 3115 shelf instead of trying to remember where I put 8 Beverly rd. when I'm down to about 30 stops everything gets moved to 2000 and put in the order that I'm going to do it. That's usually done at my last pickup while I'm waiting for them to bring the pickup pieces to the dock 3-5 minutes.

Oh Yeah
I run everything off the 2000 shelf as well to start my day and most of the day. The 1000 n 2000 shelves are reversed. the 2 top shelves are used for late afternoon residential storage. Its the biggest shelf and the most abundant as far as the the volume of space to store boxes. It helps keep a lot of stuff off the floor as far as residentials are concerned. Floor is always used for bulk stops and big boxes. All depends on route obviously. The dols are so jacked up on most routes anyway.

They tell pre-loaders to "lip load" for some odd reason....
oldngray
nowhere special
My last preloader had never heard of lip loading. It was never mentioned to him when he was trained. As well with many other preload methods which seem to have quietly faded away.

That’s Craptacular
Lip loading and having a package hanging a 1/4 off the shelf? Two entirely different things.
