i also thing (sic) each package car loader should have to scan each package as they are being put on the truck to eliminate misloads and give a true "out for delivery" scan....but what do I know.
I understand that eliminating misloads is a priority, but having the loaders scan each package as they load it into the package cars???
I'm pretty sure the loaders are way to busy loading the PC's and don't have time to start scanning 'EACH PACKAGE AS THEY ARE BEING PUT ON THE TRUCK'.
Full disclosure: I've never been a loader, and you clearly haven't either, but I know for d@#m sure that the loaders are doing their level best to deal with the endless stream of pkgs coming down the belt, plus that air-raid klaxon thing going off all the time, and the sups yelling at them for whatever, loading two or three trucks at a time, etc.etc.etc..
And you want them to scan 'EACH PACKAGE AS THEY ARE BEING PUT ON THE TRUCK'?
Unless UPS wants to spring for some as-of-yet uninvented technology like full retinal/pupil implants that will scan and log every package the loader looks at, or some RFID bully-bull (a chip in every package and a chip-reader on every loader's wrist), what you're hinting at is logistically improbable and possibly counter-productive.
The (whatever)% of misloads are a problem, no doubt, but why don't we spend another dollar to save that dime?
