[QUOTE="Macbrother, post: 1062699, member: 42759"] I don't really get your first sentence -- each shift (depending on your location) generally has its share of sorters (or pickoff) , unloaders, and loaders. You said in an earlier post that "preloaders don't sort or unload." This is categorically false. Trailers are backed into a bay door. They are then unloaded onto a belt, which carry them to sorters, which put them on the right belt they are supposed to go to in the building, at which point loaders take them off a belt and put them in a truck. They may be done boxline or beltline but the general theme is the same. This entire operation is called preload and those who carry it out are preloaders. Sunrise may or may not be another name for it, I don't know, we don't call it that here. [/QUOTE]
