[QUOTE="andrew99, post: 684297, member: 23431"] For totes, it's mainly a supply chain problem, in that, if they're regularly available in a specific spot in the unload, it isn't hard to get unloaders to use them. Blaming it on bad attitudes or laziness isn't doing the problem justice. Totes are used for everything, you can expect a signifigant amount of them to be removed from circulation over the various pt/ft shifts. If you can't keep a steady supply of them in the unload you won't see them getting used. Information like the amount of bags in a trailer, smalls in a package car ...seem to be irrelivant or unobtainable. For nearly six years i'd watch smalls run at below capacity for half the day just to be obliterated to the point of uselessness for the second half of the shift. The issue seems to stem from lack of control/knowledge over incomming smalls volume and the consequence of an incapactitated smalls sort forcing the smalls parcels to be sorted out to the loadlines, bypassing the smalls sort entirely.
