[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4548815, member: 76643"] As for selection, I'll chime in to say [I]it all depends [/I]on the route and the address[I].[/I] If it's not gonna be a pain in the buttocks to return later, and if it's not a commit, I wouldn't waste more than a minute or two -- and even then, don't waste it, go ahead and sort the part of the shelf where the piece should be or the entire shelf. Even if you're drowning in irregs, take stock of what's on the floor as best you can. If you keep coming up short-handed, it might be a good time to sort as much as you can -- even the entire load if you have enough space. Also: preload often leaves pieces on the tail end of the 6 or 8 shelves. That said, if they're dispatching you -- [I]while qualifying [/I]-- 263 stops and over 400 pieces in anything smaller than a 1000, you can really only go 'peak mode': clear the 1 and 2 shelves and then use these for overflow as you keep sorting throughout the day. Once you've qualified, you can ask to return the building and reload the entire truck. My stew has done this on a few occasions. My route's farther from the building, so when it's an smile*-show I'll unload irregs in a parking lot and sort the damn thing. [/QUOTE]
