Preloader: do you write the number on the packages?

[McGee]

Maybe your loader actually loads decent. I don't care what they do as far as label spa or writing but for the love of god make something visible.



More often than not 75% of my load is label down.

They must literally just 'throw it and forget it'...

One day last week my first 4 packages in my 4000 section were 3200, 7500,5100,5300 and I found a misloaded 1600 loaded at the bottom of 20 FL4.

If you're going to write numbers then at least try to put it in order, or else you are just wasting time.

Don't be afraid to move crap around. If you see 10 boxesfor the same stop then drop it to the floor instead of crowding the shelf. This includes giant amazon boxes. Why use half the shelf for 1 box or 1 stop?



Preload is easy if you use common sense.

It doesn't benefit this driver.

It's not done to benefit the driver.

Writing numbers on the boxes is, in fact, a waste of time if your center has PALs. There is already a number on them! I can't read most of the written numbers anyway. But, if your sups want you to do so then write them. Just don't hide the PALs.

ideally the packages are loaded how they need to be to fit everything regardless of where the pal sticker is. then the loader writes the number on the side of the box that's visible. idk how that isn't beneficial

The PALs can usually be moved with ease. Or faced for selection. Writing is redundant and therefore a waste of time. Plus, most preloaders are either in too much of a hurry to write legibly or arent capable of it.

Here's the only thing you need to do: Put all the bulk together. I don't care where it's at just make it TOGETHER

And don't just randomly toss big/heavy items that were stacked outside the truck down the middle when you hear the preload sup say "close em out!"

Like OUT said, its waste of time when the boxes already have PALs. Writing on the boxes also sucks on the send agains. Boxes end up on the wrong shelf because they have 2 numbers on them

Writing on the pkgs is a waste of time.

I find it very helpful as I jump all over. I also never look in the package car until I'm on area.

 

[AllOnTheHorses]

First half of morning, write the numbers.. second half, don't bother.
At least having some numbered boxes will keep you a bit more organized.

I always cross them out and circle the NEW PAL ( so at least the driver has SOMETHING to go by if I can't get the label out, up or in the aisle to be easily read)

 

[specter208]

I write on as many as I can. Helps the driver and helps me avoid misloads.

 

[door10]

I write in what I can but I've been told by drivers the numbers don't help them at all.

Yeah but their not trained correctly anyway to remotely do anything that makes any sense. Remember UPS is DUMBYING DOWN the job nowadays. Dont even know why they have loaders anyway, all they do is make the job 100 times harder than what it needs to be anyway. Not all loaders can be highly intelligent like our girl BB58.

 

[DumbTruckDriver]

I would write HIN numbers on 75% of the packages when I loaded. This was in a five car area. I did it to keep myself organized, as I prided myself on loading stop-for-stop. I knew the drivers didn't read what I wrote, so it didn't matter if I was the only one that could read it.

 

[clean hairy]

Just don't put the pal over the barcode.

Are you done now....we all know you are the best most efficient driver in this country... Now stfu

 

[Coldworld]

I've heard of Bay Area, CA. Never bay number lol
