Learn how to read... that is your best prevention. Loaders these days just aren't that good. Loaders who were only average when I was still loading are now the better loaders and lot of it was because they were trained before PAS came in. Loaders need to understand that PAS is unreliable, they NEED to read the label we scan. I get bad pal labels everyday... a lot of postal deliveries are paling to the destination instead of the Post Office which more often than not turns into a misload because its not in my area.
Sorry but my expectations are high, I rarely misloaded (1 every 6 months if that) so I don't want to hear excuses... stop talking with your buddies or turn your ipod off if those things are a distraction. The PAS system screwups, the misloads, and the splits that aren't getting pulled are result of someone failing at their job. Not all those are the fault of the loader but they play a part. Match-up the label and PAL on every package, let your driver know if you didn't have time to pull a split and know which truck you are in when loading. Loading isn't difficult when u give it your careful concentration.
its a little harder when you're started at 445 instead of 400 like you used to...more in less time makes people rush. When I loaded around 200-210 an hour I checked labels etc I had 0 misloads in 3-4 months or so, but when they added that 4th truck and gave me 15 min extra? yea my frequency went up to about 1-2200 packages. Which isn't bad, but it really isn't all that good considering what I used to do. Before PAS I had 1 like every 4 months or so. So those people saying PAS is more accurate are full of it, you yourself just confirmed that. I agree though, those who used the alpha charts were better loaders on PAS, but most of them still hated it in comparison. If the preloaders got the same amount of time they used to, misloads would go down.
