[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 2791248"] Well, yeah, but that's not what I mean exactly. At the beginning of the day they put out load sheets with a bar code on them on every truck. Each truck has a corresponding barcode inside, either on the 7000 or 8000 shelf or on one of those swinging doors. Before we load, we have to sync each load sheet to each truck, by scanning the truck's barcode and then the load sheet, rinse and repeat four times and now your scanner's set up to load. What I'm talking about is, after all that while we're loading, I like to scan 6 or 7 packages for the same truck and as I walk in I hit the truck's barcode that I mentioned earlier (not the load sheet, the one in the truck.) It syncs the package(s) instantly or tells you about a misload instantly if you're only carrying a single package, but if you scan a stack it won't let you scan packages from separate trucks without loading one truck first and then stepping out to load the other truck-- so it's yet [B]another[/B] built-in failsafe that makes the job easier if you just drop the belt. Seriously, it's like the thing was designed with that method in mind. We have daily problems with it. Several have busted, several are missing the velcro straps that attach it to your fingers, a ton of 'em have buttons that stick so you can't control when the scanner's laser goes off, nearly all of them are missing the rubber guard that protects the sharper parts from cutting into your fingers, and generally I think we have three extras, so if we have three that go down bad things happen because important people get upset. :surprised: But yeah, they were in perfect shape when we got them back in October. Now, though? Expensive garbage is all they are. [/QUOTE]
