[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4519715, member: 79761"] I'm chimin' in on other folks' coattails here. Painting the walls is bull:censored:, but with the loads we're sending out it's necessary if you're going to fit all/most of the smalls on the shelves. So the key here is to paint the walls intelligently, which really isn't that difficult. Let's use the 2000 shelf as an example. First package lip-loaded on the shelf should be a 2000 or whatever the first HIN/PAL for the 2000 shelf is (it could be 2042, you really never know). Next to that would be maybe a 2100. Behind those two packages, put a 2200-2300 up against the wall, label facing out. That way when the 2000 and 2100 gets pulled off, the package they see is sometime later in their dispatch. The most important thing is never putting low-numbered PALs behind high-numbered PALs. As long as the driver can work down the shelf in order, you're gonna be good and he or she will be thankful. The problems arise when loaders randomly fill the shelves, with 2700 at the front, a 2200 behind it, maybe a 4000 misloaded right next to it, and a couple 2400s scattered throughout the shelves with a single envelope underneath an over-70 on the floor. lip-loading helps, but not much. Those packages move around pretty much the second the driver leaves the center. Being a perfectionist is nice, but literally the first hard brake/turn and a good portion of the preloader's hard work is undone. [/QUOTE]
