[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 1309825, member: 26998"] It's coming. They are working with our pre-load, telling them they want to "wallpaper" the loads. They start loading packages against the back wall and then outward to the end of the shelves. Now, this seems to have no effect on the proficiency of the loaders and is a nightmare for drivers, so logically, the only reason to "wallpaper" would be to get more packages on each car. Miles are a large determining factor in the allowance, so if they can reduce miles they reduce the allowance and can put more work on each car (hence the need for "wallpapering"). It would be interesting to know which miles they are comparing to get a reduction in miles. Would it be miles if you just followed EDD? Yesterday? Yesterday is totally different, as is the same day last year or last week. Routes change, loops change, stops, pickups, whole centers. It would seem that a true measurement would require a much larger sample than just one route, maybe like the whole center's miles/piece. But even that could be misleading, because just delivering less packages could cause a drastic change in that number. [/QUOTE]
