[QUOTE="FozziesDeliveries, post: 5318726, member: 99574"] Sorting the truck while delivering is a method that comes with time and it does help. The main idea is having stuff close to the front of the truck to grab faster per stop instead of walking to the back of the truck for alot of stops. So for example my route usually ends with air in the country and i have to then work a few stops back into town to start my bulk/commercial stops. If it makes sense for me to do those stops at that time instead of later, and i can get to the packages easily, at the first stop i have to go in the back of the truck i will slide/toss the packages up to the front of the truck on the floor behind the bulkhead door for those few stops. 1 trip to the back of the truck for a few stops. If i am too bulked out then i skip those stops for later because it would take too long to dig out the packages. When i start my commercial and bulk it USUALLY has me work the floor and 1000, 2000 and 3000 shelf. If you are looking for a package and your shelf is a hot mess start organzing it a little putting the packages in numeric order by the hin number. Do not spend too much time in these early shelves though because you will be delivering these soon. When you are halfway through that section or so, slide that shelf forward while checking for misloads and organizing the hins. Don't slide the packages forward every stop thats a waste of time, try to do it in chunks. Have a clear spot on your floor as soon as possible behind your bulkhead door so you can step in and not trip on anything and have space to grab packages. I try to move things out of the center of my truck as i clear out bulk on my floor so i can walk through my truck quick in case i have to grab a package from the middle or back. Also it is easier to see if anything falls off a shelf onto the floor if the floor is clear. Speaking of that take turns slow, do NOT turn fast. There is nothing worse then hearing your shelves dump and wasting time putting packages back on a shelf. It is critical with this job to stay organized! One last tip, when you start getting pickup pieces keep them seperate from your deliveries so they don't get mixed together. [/QUOTE]
