a lot of drivers like the labels face down so they can't see then. eregs on top shelf behind small ones. also a lot of boxes up the middle of the truck and their dully missing.

Too much 420 dude.

Pretty sure if you search for: tips for preloaders you will come up with all the answers you need and then some.

Actually it came up with a dozen threads about tipping loaders for the holidays

Was a night side loader for 4 years, but my schedule changed and I had to move to pre load to stay with the company.

Loading package cars is obviously a bit more nuanced than feeders.

Just looking for some input from drivers or other loaders on how to get up to speed and get the the stuff loaded up to supervisor/driver standards. I'm sure it will take some time to get it, but some tips to expedite the process eould be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

File a grieve whenever you see a sup touch a box and tell them in advance. There is more pressure on this shift than any other

The better the loads, the bigger the tips

was hoping to unload TBH. Oh well....

Did you ask main morning sup if you can unload?

You want to ask my Dispatcher why a 90 piece(cases of books & magazines/1-5th stop of day at a Dock) is PAL'ed to 1800 while RDC/RDL/RCR/FL have less than 10 pieces. Over a year now...Im about to get fired for theft of 3 by 5 cards Ive left him so many notes asking If he can help/fix.

That's not your preloaders fault. This a problem with your dispatcher not fixing the issue.

Well. I'm disqualifying myself tomorrow. Don't like the job at all.

Don't like the job at all.

You're not supposed to. If somebody likes preload, there's something up.

Hope you don't quit and end up not liking a job somewhere else.

I'm going back to loading feeders, it's easier, and I did kinda like it.

The things to remember are:

Everyday is different. You can't load the same way everyday. There will always be the "unexpected" whether it be an ad-cut or a bulk stop.

The faster you load/work, the more susceptible you are to possible injury.

Did you go through peak, after that it's a lot easier.

 

[Hubzilla]

Nah. I've only been doing it for 2 weeks. Now that I know what the job is, it's pretty obvious that it's not a great fit for me personally.

They asked the 3rd day on what they can improve on to make people stay. I had no answer but now after months i can easily say management.

Unloading

Sorting

No-ish misloads, lip loaded, know your floors, generally get it on the right shelf.

I loved being a preloader....Before PAS. Give me an alpha chart and a sharpie and I'm content. PAS took most of the mental aspect of the job away.

Older post but I will throw in some input. Get rest, wash your hands before you eat , and definitely wear protection when playing with dirty girls.

 

[What did I do]

New on here, I was hired in November. I was asked to stay and received my new hire packet. It says my start date is January 16. I was on schedule for this week, but now I am on call. They said seasonal drivers went back to preload. Is this normal?

Very much normal. Peak officially ended January 13th. Relax because people will start quitting soon enough and you will be working everyday. Or at least until you quit for a better job.
