It is pretty sad the way some people load. 2 of my drivers leave the building by 7:45 so I typically get sent around to help others. I get to some trucks and I swear dudes are just chucking packages in and wherever the land is where they stay!
I also started driver helping earlier in the week and of course Thursday ended up being a 13 hour day already. There was stuff hiding behind boxes on the 8k shelf that were pal'd for the 2k shelf, rdr business stops mixed with shelf 4k.
Nightmare!

I had a loader who would stack packages on the 8000 shelf when he was cleaning his cages then would forget about them and bury them. It could be packages supposed to go anyplace else on the car including NDA.

Mesquite is ready!
Adding tons of parking for more trailers that the hub will not be able to handle with existing capacity.

We are screwed at my center. Seems that their answer for extra volume is remotes, and no extra Xmas drivers. Also, our center has too many p600's that are packed full during the regular season, which leaves no room for expansion, when it gets busier. I can remember when we used to have at least 8 extra package cars. All we have now is a couple of real beat up machines.

Remotes? Are you talking about the Surepost that is being held to be matched up with regular ground deliveries the following day?

Maybe a TP-60 brought out with one driver with 7 & 8000 sections from 3 or 4 drivers in it. They do that here. Hide the key and drivers come get their stuff when needed. Problem is being the first guy there and your crap is in the front.

They expire if they are not used in 30 days or something like that.

Some dumb sups teach them to do that. I'd find envelopes for 1000, 3000 & 5000 on the 8000 shelf at 2pm when I would be sorting my truck and on that route I'd have to backtrack like 20 minutes to deliver them.

On those rare occasions when I find a NDA in the load I will break off if it is close or deliver it when I am back in the area later in the day. It doesn't matter if it is 10:31 or 3:31----it is already late.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
We had a real problem with a few part time sups that would send most of
Their loaders home early if air was a little late. They would then throw the air at the end of the 8000 or 6000 sections.
a few drivers and loaders got in trouble for this. A few of us knew what was happening and put an end to it quickly.

No, remotes are people UPS hires to deliver packages out of golf carts in larger communities. They put all the packages in a POD storage unit, and then the remote shows up and unlocks the POD, sorts the crap in there and delivers with the golf cart. Really a dumb corporate idea. We have already had reports of packages laying in the streets, because they fell off the gold cart.
