[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 174077"] [rant] yeah thats what they do with me, give me different pulls/cars and apparently 1100+ pieces on a 3 car pull is a good idea. Funny shoehorning that many into 3 cars doesn't seem too good of an idea to me. Though it wouldn't be so bad if it was evenly distributed...but one car gets up to 450, the next 350 the last around 300, all with big and bulky items. But they've left me alone for now so hopefully they don't go messing with my cars again. [/rant] Back on topic, PAS can work I think (though in its current form its not really "working" yet), I just don't think it'll be the answer to the problems they wished to fix (misloads, sorter errors, etc). The misloads are far worse under PAS than they ever were, sorter errors too because they also go by the PAL and its wrong for them just as often as it is for us seeing as we use the same label. As far as jobs go, they've cut back on drivers actually driving. The running joke in our center (and on here so I've seen) is that EDD means Eliminate Drivers Daily. Another is "Special EDD" when your dispatch makes absolutely no sense or there are things missing. On the preload side, they make you do more than you used to and want it done faster. They pretty much make up the wanted PPH as they go as it was 170 when I got here, then 180 when PAS started, now they want 210 (yes I know there is no contractual obligation to meet these marks). Yet the job is still the same as when I started. Also, now I have to take extra time to make sure the PAL is in fact correct...where as before PAS I just looked at the shipping label and tossed it in because I knew in my head that it went on that truck and exactly where it went, brilliant haha. PAS has dumbed down a job that really wasn't that hard to begin with. It IS much easier to learn for the new hires, but for the people who were set with their pull with the old alpha charts (that most of us had memorized), it was (and still is often times) a big headache. If you are a driver, try to give as much input as they allow. Be picky about everything on your route (making it work in trace I mean). You know how to run it better than anyone else as you've done it longer than the IE person who will be re-looping it. :wink: If you're a preloader...well you know no one listens to you anyways (we're just dumb PT hourlies apparently), so just get ready for the fun. :thumbup1: [/QUOTE]
