[QUOTE="Moana Drifter, post: 441183, member: 18821"] BINGO. What's been happening for about a week now at our center is that at about 8:00 the volume getting put into the cages drops off noticeably and by 8:30 two out of three are coming around empty and just as you think you're home free, all of a sudden they're getting stuffed to the gills with packages. Then the sups call last cages which means that you have to get them emptied no matter what and it's a 3-ring circus until the cars pull out. It also doesn't help that the packages aren't very well distributed across the sequence numbers. You may have twice as many 8xxx packages as you do 7xxx, so one shelf is fairly light, and the other is really stuffed, and you don't have time to go move things around to even them out. I try to make pretty liberal use of the crayon, figuring that even if the packages aren't in perfect order, at least if they're close and visibly marked, the driver shouldn't have to hunt for them. On the other hand, I have one driver who apparently isn't too fond of his trace and goes in each morning and rearranges about half of my nice sequential packages into some other route that he prefers.
