[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 2791118"] Yep yep. Since October we've been allowed to either wear the belt on our person and have it automatically sync packages to trucks (which, when you're moving fast like you're supposed to do, the belt won't pick up on packages that you [B]do[/B] load correctly at times and as a result, the next package you scan automatically screams at you that you're misloading when you're not-- the system just doesn't keep up. Also, scan a package on the belt and walk past a different truck than it's supposed to go into? That truck's sensors will likely pick up the transmission from your belt/scanner, and scream at you that you're misloading when you haven't even walked into a truck yet and then a supervisor comes around with an attempted misload report and gets in your way for half an hour trying to find a package that's already in the correct truck.) .....that probably shouldn't've been in parentheses.... Anyways... I found out how to eliminate all of those issues by dropping the belt in the middle of my four-truck pull, scanning packages and then scanning the corresponding barcode on the truck's shelf when I walk in to load the package(s). You can hear it beep clearly and there's a red and a green light on the back of each scanner that visually signals whether or not you're in the right truck. It's faster, more efficient, and there's less room for false statistics. The previous two managers realized this from day 1, and I've loaded that way since early October.
