[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1121989, member: 43119"] Speed will naturally increase over time. However, accuracy is something you need to start working on now. Stuff on the shelves should be in [U]pretty close[/U] sequential "order". Bulk stops should be placed together or in the same general area. Any packages put on the floor should be in sequential order. Example: don't put 2000's in the back of the friggin' truck unless it's early irreg or your driver asked you to do that for him for a specific stop. Do your drivers communicate with you, or do they show up bitching and moaning, pretending like you've been chillin' and relaxing all day and now they have to do the real work? If you have decent drivers, they may compliment your work to management. While load quality is not of very high importance to preload, it does leave an impression on those directly above you... assuming they have souls. I find that you have to have something going for you to stay off "the radar". Either you have to be fast and make their numbers look good, or you have to be very accurate and hope that your drivers make it known that they are happy with you. If you show up late all the time, are slow, your drivers are bitching about your loads, and you misload every day, you should not expect to make it past your 30 days. Although... we have someone like that in my building who has been working here longer than me. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
