[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 286713"] snaking the load would work if the dispatch plan didn't change as often as it does (in our center anyway). When I loaded (like 6 months ago) the plans were so drastically different sometimes that you had no idea where you could snake. I had a couple routes that rarely changed....loved them, easy to load, easy to plan for but the other two were such a crapshoot. I learned the old way as well. I think that is the thing I miss most, by and large you knew where you had leeway as far as placing overflow everyday (save for rogue bulkstop blowouts) which produced much better load quality. Also the need for our manager to have 150 plus piece bulkstops "in the truck" immediately also causes load quality to suffer. He says he understands we need to stack but then conveniently forgets that when he sees it stacked out on a cart....hysteria ensues lol. I used to keep my huge bulk stops out (or in my cages) until the end (yes I would get as much as I could in beforehand) so that the biggest bulkstop which is always the drivers first stop was in the rear door sections and down the middle. After he dropped that off he had a good day ahead of him normally. Management may have hated that part of how I loaded but the drivers and their supes made sure I knew they appreciated it.:wink2: to the person who commented on how its hard or near impossible to not make mistakes, I'd have to agree.
