[QUOTE="PCLoadPackage, post: 4371023, member: 72673"] I can see how unload and sort could be automated fairly easily, even with current technology. I really want to see how they'd automate the preloader job. Don't get me wrong, a huge portion of the preloaders are some combination of lazy, drunk, stoned, or just stupid. There's just so much variability in package car designs, package sizes, crappy dispatch, etc. It just seems like it would be really tough to automate loading the package cars exactly like the load sheet says, let alone taking any driver preferences into account (which they certainly wouldn't). If I loaded my cars exactly like the load sheets say, they'd all be complete disasters. [/QUOTE]
