[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1405736, member: 28388"] The packages brought out to our POD have already been palled and have the stickers on them. They are simply the 7000 & 8000 shelves that would have been loaded in the morning had there been room. It only takes 15 minutes to load them. The stuff in the pod are separated into back of the pod, front of the pod and each side wall (4 piles for 4 drivers). The helper carries crap out of the POD and hands it to the driver. The driver puts it in sequence as it's handed to him. It's quick & efficient. As for the shuttling, they use a casual who loads up the stuff into a Uhaul, drives 20-30 minutes to the POD then unloads it into 4 piles. It probably costs the company $40 for a couple hours of labor for the casual and gas plus whatever the POD costs. Compare that to all the hours saved by working the top pay driver at overtime rate everyday for over a month. Huge savings. And for the company it's not even the savings. It's being able to get the drivers to deliver that much more. [/QUOTE]
