[QUOTE="lolbr, post: 4211648, member: 68664"] He's probably just not explaining himself correctly. He likely just wants the largest bulk stops at the back regardless of where they are pal'ed. I try to make it easy on my loader with the things I tell them. Sure, it helps me, but it helps them more. I loaded for about 10 years. Had trucks with 900 pieces during peak (yes, on one package car). It's not even close to as hard as most loaders make it out to be. They spend the day making it harder on themselves thinking they are taking shortcuts. [LEFT][SIZE=16px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=rgb(30, 24, 18)] *Load the large packages first.
