The forced use of crayons for preload

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

As funny as this is, I hate you for saying it. A good preloader is crucial to a drivers day!

Yes and no.

You could throw them all in the middle of the car and I would still run scratch.

Pulling the labels does not help the drivers.

I think he means pulling them and putting them so they face out so the driver can see the PAL label.

Drivers aren't supposed to use pay code 02.

You could put a flashing neon sign on each and every box and I would still use the physical address label for package selection.

Bologna.

Bologna.

Wanna bet?

I want in on this action.

Good thing I write the addresses in neon green pen, apartment numbers circled, buisness names spelled out, I load at 100pph, checkmate.

(Only on Saturdays, they are lax at our center)

Which is the way it should be. Writing the HINs on the packages only helps the loader load in sequence. I loaded this way for six years, and heard nothing but compliments from drivers about my load quality.

For nine years I've been on the preload and in that time I've learned that circling the label then writing the hin on the side creates more problems than it solves. Naturally I stopped using them for the last five years with no problems and much fewer misloads. Today my job was threatened by the center manager for no other reason than not using them. I just want to know why this is such a big deal and why they are pushing it so hard, every driver I've loaded for prefers a solid load over a hastily scrawled mess that is poorly loaded. Can we change this method or am I just pissing in the wind? If we can, then how? I mean fired over a crayon, I've dealt with harassment before but this is a new level of stupid.

Say it like this. "listen, M Fer, I'm a big boy and demand a sharpie. No more of this kindergarten level BS." Then ask for stewart.

Should he go back to 1955 and save the clock tower first or back to Sept 13th when that post was written? That's the real question.

I don't understand how preloaders can be expected to decently load all their cars without having to write on every package. How can doubling the amount of time it takes to do their job help anyone? I'm glad we don't do that in our center. I would have to have a chat with the preload sup and tell them to stop having my loader deface the packages.

Personally as a driver I hate Hins, don’t use them at all. I much rather have the address on the visible side of the box instead of 4 Chinese looking numbers 1s looking like 7s. Etc.

You aren't paid to think, you are paid to do

Certainly works better in your case!

They don't like it when I think...leads to headaches for them

How so?

I dont give money to crooks or jackasses.

Hows your wife and kids?

mmmhmm, sure. What the hell is stu gonna do, because the writing utensil provided, isn't to your liking? You really sound like a spoiled brat.

Go to hell, shoe boy.

Doesn’t matter, if they write in crayon, they still have to know numbers. they still load it on the wrong shelf, bury a 2000 pal under a 6000 pal on the wheel well. Good luck getting the pal label off the box especially when the spa person puts the pal right over the label and cannot scan it or see what apt it goes to
