Most misloads by a single person you've heard of

[Billy Ray]

Not a route but a position in a loop. They can put your work on a truck with a different number every day if they want to. It is never "your" truck. A pain in the butt to get stuck driving a different one but its part of the job when it happens.

Understood, but my point was regardless of the # you don't know what will be loaded on that truck or where it will be loaded.
Twenty five years ago a driver could walk halfway through his truck with his eyes closed, put his hand out to the right or the left, and just about tell you what stop was loaded there.

We bid every 3 years. I bid on Route 25A. 143562 is assigned to Route 25A. The only time I use a different car is if mine was written up and the repairs were not made overnight or if it is in the shop for a PMI.

Again, this is absolutely not true.

The base part of your route remains constant.

Add/cuts do alter the route and the sequence in which the packages are loaded but to say that "you don't know what will loaded on the car or where it will be loaded" is untrue.

I know what my first stop is because it fills the 800 from the bulkhead to the rear door. After that, it's just tossed salad.
Don't know how many times I have told a customer, "Let me see where they put it today."

Do you go through EDD after you have downloaded it or do you punch in at the last minute and let the chips fall where they may?

Things are different now OG, every truck is emptied out clean on the reload. No sendagains left on the truck. Reasoning: that package could be assigned anywhere tomorrow.

We don't really bid on a route anymore; we bid on a truck number.

When I clock in, I know what truck and what town, and I know I will be dragging a TP60. As far as what areas will be loaded on my truck: anybody's guess....

I just started in March, preload. First thing i do i walk the pc for send agains and get em outta the truck. Every truck has them. Lil frustrating to lug an irreg back to the front of belt only to see it 15 min later coming down the belt squishing a bunch of smalls with a 1 digit difference in the HIN and going right back from where i pulled it (scanner loses reception out by my belt so all sendagains have to be carried back up front by hand to b scanned). But after reading thru this forum...sounds like Orion is a pain an much more respect for u drivers. Keep cool! Im in the Orlando hub - gets toasty down here!

Please say "hi" to Mickey and Goofy.

Please say "hi" to Mickey and Goofy.

Ha! Will do... Based on some of the people that work here, i think Goofy sorts @ the Orlando hub

Had someone fit over 140 small yellow envelopes into a bag before.

Yeah, I fit around 200-250 very lightweight cd-size mailers going to an international ONT bag. Weighed around 40 pounds.

 

[tapatio75]

I had 15 today, 2 airs

 

[The Driver]

I had 18 on a route one time. Tonight I had 4.

 

[Brownslave688]

I can't on actual misloads but when stop counts were kept on paper we had a loader that was regularly off by 50+

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I had one yesterday. It was a misload within the car which I ran off on my way to start my pickups.

 

[joeboodog]

I had a misloader almost misload for the cycle; NDA, NDS, 2DA, and a bunch of ground. The only one not misloaded was a 3 day select.

You, poor boy.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You, poor boy.

Try to imagine how upset you would be if your Meals on Wheels volunteer was late or didn't show up at all.

 

[MoarTape]

We had a guy with over 300 in a trailer once. This was obviously before smart scanners. It was one of the Ohio splits (we build 20 Ohio loads on our midnight sort, all but two being preloads). Those splits SUCK.

You cant download EDD until they release it on Orion and unfortunately that is usually not until after the PCM.

 

[40 stops to freedom]

we had someone once not catch the pas printer print out a label twice or beep and not print or whatever and bad slapped 50+ air
don't remember how many were caught before preload wrapped up
