[QUOTE="BadIdeaGuy, post: 4388637, member: 73381"] All my answers are just opinions. Drivers may feel differently. 1. Depends how big, and when you get them. If they can fit under a shelf, in the area under where they would go on the shelf, load them. Otherwise leave them. 2. Big stuff always on the floor, when possible. Smalls get priority for shelf space. 3. Surepost? Leave it out. That can generally get tossed in in a matter of a minute or two at the end. Unless you learn your routes well enough to know where you will have free space in the truck. 4. My drivers help me about half the days. If they want to work for free, I won't stop them. If they don't want to work for free, that's fine too. Obviously it's best if you wrap up before driver start time. But for some centers, that doesn't become an option. 5. Yes. Some drivers are complete jerks. Some are absolute saints. There really isn't an age/demographic that is nicest. Some young drivers remember the preload, and know that it is rough, so they're nice to you, while others just want things to be perfect so they can get off by 4. Some old drivers feel sorry for the preloaders because they have seen the company get progressively worse, while others just want everything perfect so they can have an easy coast into retirement. 6. Lots of new people can't manage a 5 day work week. I've seen one use the N word while talking to the center manager. Some of them have 5 misloads a day. Don't underestimate stupid people. 7. Give it time. You gotta adjust your body clock to mornings, and then figure out a good sleep rhythm. You won't probably figure it out for a while. :) [/QUOTE]
