[QUOTE="labels_up, post: 237066, member: 8982"] Our hub has 40 inbound doors, 4 unloads/sort belts. Volume now is about 140-160,000 a night for night sort. Don't know about small sort staffing - don't work there and don't know anyone who does, but I can ask around. Though I'd imagine it leaves something to be desired if it is anything like primary/unload...night sort is also bad for people not showing up to work, especially Fridays, and I'm guessing outbound isn't great either judging by the PD's shutting off the same belts every night over and over because they are getting slammed... Don't know how long it takes to get a bag to come from SS...will ask about that one too. I guess we'd send our smalls to outbound in totes if we had totes(where would we put them on the sort aisle where they wouldn't get in the way yet be close enough to get too when we needed them?), or our unloaders would tote the smalls, but this doesn't happen. Our unloaders act like blind/deaf/dumb crackheads/speedfreaks most of the time (hence my handle, something I am always saying to unload)...unloader training IMHO leaves much to be desired. Not sure about bypass bags...again, I'm just a box-chucking grunt and as such not all that knowledgeable about such things. Once again, I guess I can ask. About the best we can do is either someone will say on the radio small sort is going down in 10 minutes and tell unload to find the bags and send 'em ASAP, or we used to be able to get SS to run one of their belts if we were getting slammed, and we'd toss the night bags down there, but it doesn't seem like this happens anymore.
