The actual pre-load is....(Not the fantasy IE thinks it is) See the truck....put parcels in there. Try to get them on the correct shelf. Don't worry about facing the bar code with address on it. The driver can sort them, since he makes more. Off the slide, out of mind. Since the drivers make more, ignore them. The pre-load communication in the DIAD is never read by managers so keep your pre-load supervisor happy, don't worry about the driver, he makes more. Drivers who ask for corrections in their load are mostly ignored. Managers are only there to massage the situation that is by default set up to fail. The burden is on the drivers because they get in trouble for not delivering mis-loads, not the loader. Since drivers make good money, they should take what is shoved in their truck. Don't concern yourself that the driver gets heat for going in the hole for bad loads, he makes more. There're no substantial penalties for the pre-loader's bad loads, but the driver will get lots of heat for going in the hole because of bad loads. It's the driver problem, not the loaders, since he makes more. As a 27 year driver this is how I see it. I loaded for 2 years so I know. The new technology doesn't load the parcels, it only puts on the shelf # and the sequence # on the parcel. But the load time is cut. Plus, the PAL label is not placed in the same place consistently so the pre-loader (and the driver sometimes) has to waste time looking for it. Big mistake. This makes the loader not as careful placing the bar code with the address on it faced properly, since the loader wants to see the PAL label next time he comes in to see what order to place next parcel. I have, talked to pre-loader, with respect, no improvement. I have talked to pre-load sup, no improvement. I have been told by a pre-load sup, "I guess I need to watch the video again" Mostly, pre-load supervisors are bodies there with clipboards not knowing how to load themselves. When I try to get my load improved, I'm labeled a "picky" driver. I have given up after 27 years of trying to get better loads. I've only had good loads 4 years out of the last 27. But hey, I'm paid lots to get it shoved in........the truck.
