[QUOTE="eats packages, post: 4377002, member: 68137"] Each assignment unfortunately is a little different when it comes to how you select out of bins. For a 3-car (business?) set with heavy pieces I would do what PT car washer posted. You lose way more time inside the cars than out in the bins. difference between doing 1 piece at a time and having some kind of killer bin strategy is like %20. I put everything these days like a bookshelf first, the same dimension, the same label position, the same visible spot for a written HIN number (that means bag 3000 gets it written bottom left from the label, and bag 5000 gets it written bottm right from the label, lol), goal is to be able to look and instantly know where to place the next envelope, between several other envelopes because all their hins were exposed in the right corner to be able to see it. Play tetris with the business pieces, the car has 12 shelf corners and you save a ton of space in them while leaving single stops closer to the middle/front. You can cheat a little bit for now but eventually it gets to the point that only the last 50 pieces from the whole sort get placed in a manner that is not strictly in bookshelf order. I got the usual "thank you jesus" from a cover driver yesterday for putting a 20-piece bulk stop (hin 2180) tight up on the back-end of the shelf (hin 6999), or the day before, putting MFR into RDR and taking the 1 piece for RDR into the cab. it's just an incredibly useful thing to think about.
