Did you step over into management? I hope we don't lose you.

I was purposely misspelling two words to see if you would catch it.
So if I deliver to the wrong house/street/town... it shouldn't count against me because it
was delivered?

Now you and I both know as drivers we're supposed to match the address on the pkg. to the house before we deliver it. I was trying to see if BB58 was going to catch the 2 words I misspelled....that's all except if as loaders they don't have you verify the last 4 on pal to the address then it shouldn't be the loaders fault.

Yup! They don't give them enough time to put up a decent load. But hey they got the preload down.

Not in my building. Preloaders are told to look at the PAL label only. Misloads are rampant.

Writing HINS on every package is useless. That's why we pay someone to put the PAL on. I load 5 cars with a overall average of 1100-1300 pieces, you can bet your ass I'm not going to write HINS I have no time to do that in 4hrs of work. It's just not feasible. Instead I focus on not having misloads and moving stops to make my day and my drivers day easier and getting packages lip loaded and tight so they stay on the shelf once the driver leaves. It's simple, drivers don't bitch and complain to management about their loads and management doesn't care if we write HINS, as a matter of fact my preload SUP pushes everyone to write HINS and looks in my trucks with no HINS and doesn't say a word because I have very few misloads, average 1 MAYBE 2 a week and my drivers are happy with their loads, I receive money and biscuits atleast 1 sometimes 2 days a week and have a good relationship with the drivers and know most of their family's and mutual friends. Do your job and keep the drivers happy and management will not crawl all over you.

Misloads are.
Misloading is.

That’s Craptacular
Yeah but I just assumed it was an accident. I'm no longer a loader....attention to detail is not required...lol

Hmmm....I'm no mathematician but if you were hired around Oct or November of 2014 and it's June '16 now...I assume by "almost 3 years" you meant not even 2 years yet?

What is it? A brown box. Duh
Kind of hard to worry about my "assignment" when I have to fight the load fraught with misloads, especially the 70lb grill that belonged not only not in my truck, but not even my center

I had a "misload" yesterday that was actually a bad pal caused by the computer. It was a Surepost and because the print is so small it would have been very difficult for the loader to catch the error; heck, I had to look twice to make sure.
I sheeted as NSN and then ran it off later on that afternoon.

I'm sure every centers different but here they tell us to only sheet packages once.

I wasn't sure if I would have the time to run it off later.
Our center manager has told us not to run off address corrections or bad pals. Oh well.

For some reason the computer confuses Sandra and Sanborn Avenues. Sanborn is on my area while Sandra is a few streets off. I don't feel the customer should be penalized because our computer can't read.
