It's not in your head. PPH is bull. Regardless, hauling ass would just give you more work in my hub, and none of it counts toward PPH. "You're clean so go load gate 41".

Ha so true. Same with ours.

Couple months back, around March, when we implemented the smart scan system in our building.
My full time preload supe was 'concerned' that packages for my three trucks kept going 'right' by me while i was loading other packages.
He could tell I was not as concerned as he was so he told me to get a new job! Ten minutes later, my BA walked in.
At the end of the sort, us three had a meeting and I presented my PPH paper from the previous day. I was clearly doing the work in 4.79 hours but my planned time was 6.38 from UPS. My BA told me to save that...
We haven't had those sheets on our trucks since that day.

Just curious if management continuously raises the bar on how many pph you're supposed to load. I got 186, and today had my 3 regular cars bricked out and a bulk car, so maybe 1400 pieces max no big deal. Should work out to 216-233.

They're just gonna keep raising that number and giving me more work the better I do, right? Could've sworn my goal was 150 pph on Monday.

It's not that they consciously raise your package count. It's that they swap routes on your pull periodically which results in harder cars if you can handle it.

PPH means nothing in the real world. They would count 50 resi envelopes the same as 50 boxes of printer paper that come through a single stop in an a can of air. They probably have a limited concept of how hard your assignment is.

That's a fairly uninformed statement.

Do you walk through the unload on your way to the package car? We have these machines that measure the size (and sometimes the weight) of every package going through it.

We update our size survey often based on this data, and we know what the mix of small, medium, large, and extra large packages are.

MSD load sheets do use this data to update load allowances, but that still doesn't mean PPH is all that accurate if the lineups are changing a lot

i remember as a loader i went from busting my ass on a 150pph pull to barely doing anything on a 280pph pull
if the lineup never changed, it would mean a lot more than it does
