[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 253215"] the things that were difficult about preloading are still difficult...I don't know what you're referring to in each of your posts where your believe its such a godsend to preloaders. Loading the stuff in the right spots has never been difficult (for me anyway, but I'm not everyone) its the amount of stuff that must go to those spots and when it comes that makes the job difficult. Not to mention the pace in which they'd like it done with no misloads...EVER. I'm not saying it doesn't help at all, but calling it a godsend is a bit much. Our service (at least in our hub and neighboring centers) is garbage on PAS compared to before. Oh it looks good because we have people chasing misloads, but if you stopped having management shag packages (a la before PAS...since we never heard them complain then) this system would be exposed for the promising, yet flawed system it is (service wise). My feeling on this is, if we didn't have problems before and now we do, with the same workers...how is it entirely the preloaders fault? I mean its easy for UPS to shift the blame (we're EXCELLENT at that) but thats all they ever seem to do...blame someone and say there we did something. The line I supervise does well with misloads (we make our 1/1500 MAR weekly fairly often), do I think PAS deserves the credit? NO. Those preloaders do. They are seasoned vets by and large and somehow make it work. I can't speak of EDD but most of the rumblings I've heard aren't good other than a semi-accurate stop count. Lets look at PAS for what it is, security for UPS in case of a strike, granted it still won't save the company as they'd have to replace workers on all the shifts (as preload depends on the work coming in from the other sorts) but it would lessen the damage.
