[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1044014, member: 32753"] The "I" is for "Irregulars drop point". It instructs the irreg driver where to drop the irregular pkgs for a particular pull, as often there is no space to leave the irregs next the car or even series of cars the loader will ultimately take the package to. It stinks when your pull is not very close to the irregular drop point. The number is a bay number where a package car would normally be parked but is left empty for the irreg drop. In my bldg on each boxline there may be 25-30 bays on one side of the boxline; the irregular drops are typically the first and last bay numbers, e.g. "601" or "640", as well as one or two bays left open in the middle of the line as well. Conversely, when I was a preloader at the Philly air hub-a larger bldg but with not as many routes and centers-there was a lot more space, and often one's irregular drop was right next to their load, maybe you'd have to cross one other guy's pull to get your irregs.
