[QUOTE="GenericUsername, post: 3058574, member: 60623"] The best trick I have for loading is that you ALWAYS, ALWAYS load your 5k-8k shelves. Don't stack those out. They're 2 steps inside the car. If you're using the scanners like we have been for a year+ now, scan all the packages if you have to stack then scan your car. For the 1k-4k sections, if you're in a bind, scan them/write number on them if time allows and slide across the floor towards the bulkhead door. This will keep your doorway clear and allow you to come back after and quickly put them on the shelf. If you have to stack out, don't forget that you can use under the belt. Use that area for bulk stops that are blowing out inside the car to keep your path clear. Medium sized boxes go on the shelf with smaller ones on top/behind it. Letters always go between boxes, never behind as they are a b* to find. Overweights stay towards the back of the truck at all costs. Load those in reverse order, with 1k closest to the back door. Utilize your load charts. If you see RDR is clear but you have a big FDR, move it to the back, BUT MAKE SURE TO TALK TO YOUR DRIVER ABOUT DOING SO. Edit: Also, if you are using the scanners and are right handed, put the scanner on your left hand. It'll save you a few seconds each time you have to write and it stops the awkwardness of holding the marker in a hand that's blocked partially by the scanner. It takes some getting used to to be able to do it this way, but it's so much better. [/QUOTE]
