Yup.... Each driver who is an Air driver or cut for the day or cover\preload get a list of about 8 drivers and fill the truck and separate by route number and bring them directly to the driver

Yea. Theyve been doing that lately. Starting us at the same time or as much as 30 minutes after. Then wondering why we have packed cages
Nope. It's a rare day when anyone at my facility finishes a 53 foot trailer less than 2 hours. I work in an extremely old building and our extendos only go into the truck 60%

Back in my day we unloaded 53s onto rollers and pushed it to the belt. It's still my day, and they still do that
in some buildings.Staydryitsraining

Both. We had one set of rollers that rolled out in sections into the trailer that's on a large base you pin in between the trailer and the dock. The others and for all preload trailers were sections of rollers set up on a stand.
We also loaded off of those section rollers sitting on the floor of the trailer. Like in this pic. You can see it on the floor of the trailer buried under all the packages. Yeah, that guy sucked at pick off.
Anyway, now I'm in maintenance in a hub with automated sorters and full length extendo loaders and unloaders that extend the full 53 instead of some
ty 6 foot roll case sitting on the ground. I could not have less pity for the people in the hub or on this site that cry about inane that makes their job "hard".

in the trailer but unless this loader only had 2 trucks to load no way the company is right either.Staydryitsraining

Some people look at unloading as a work out. They go in and try to unload as fast as possible, not for helping management.

Agree.

In an ideal world the loader doesn't get that far behind, the loader wasn't throwing the stuff in the trailer, that's the pick off man. The loader is absent in this pic. That picker...sucked. The loader also sucked, play on your phone for 3 or 4 minutes and take packages one at a time to the back and come back to your other trailer looking like that. If you let it go there was nowhere else for packages to go...they belong in that load and the belts not stopping. There's one belt stretching the length of the building, you stop the belt you stop the entire sort, all unload, all load, all sorting, everything. I've seen walls built in the front of the trailer and out into the doghouse/pickoff area that fully blocked access to the trailer because there was nowhere else to put them because the loader isn't putting them away fast enough and the belt "doesn't stop". Even saw that happen with someone inside the trailer.

I dont load or unload. But we all cant be soy boys.
Back in my day we unloaded 53s onto rollers and pushed it to the belt. It's still my day, and they still do that
Yes, my facility. Rollers sit on the t-stands and we push the boxes to the extendo.
