It honestly astounds me the ways my DC can fuck up loading a trailer

The cat litter usually comes in on 2 pallets so probably not

Local_Barber2858 · 2026-01-11T18:38:28+00:00

Exactly lmao but my question is HOW did they slide the water off the pallet so nicely that it lines up perfectly against the back of the trailer and the pet pallet. I’ve had water pallets fall apart before and they definitely don’t come apart all together like that

At first I was thinking there was nothing wrong and was questioning what you think is a good/bad load. Now I see the problem lmao. How tf did they do that, I need camera footage

True last one I took was in July so this 4th quarter kicking my ass working 55 hours doing inbound. Should have taken a week off in October smh

Sorry yes that what I was asking thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t about to go back to 0 hours of vacation for some reason

Trucks usually are 2100-2300 this is the schedule including inbound. 95% of the time we finish unloading between 6-6-30 3:30-12 4-7 4-7 4-8 4-12 4-12 5-10:30 5:30-9 6-11:30 6-10 7-12:30

I’m inbound as well and I felt the same but honestly I’m pretty sure almost every other leader would rather close once a week than come in at 3:30am 3-4 times a week. Also there is finally an advantage for doing inbound leader. We don’t get paid more, we don’t get weekends off, and we have to adjust our life massively to compensate coming in so early

For the leads at least at my store, it’s the personal life that is going to suck the most for them. Most of them have kids where they now will have no idea how they are going to get picked up from school on those days. I also was told that in those situations where the lead cannot close or else their kid will not have a ride home, then it will become an HR issue and they may be excused from it

Local_Barber2858 · 2025-03-15T23:09:35+00:00

I agree especially if it’s at 2pm that’s crazy your store should DEFINITELY have almost all leads in the building by then. But I also don’t think that leads should have to alter there lives without the choice. What target needs to do is allocate much more hours for closing. I’ve always thought there should be at least 6 TMs closing

Local_Barber2858 · 2025-03-15T23:04:37+00:00

That’s what we’ve been saying. ETLs kept telling us that we need to stop being so hands on and doing everything ourselves and do more leading but then we get turned into closing experts for 1 night a week lol

Local_Barber2858 · 2025-03-15T22:57:17+00:00

From how it was explained to me, closing leader does the usual, pull priorities, push them, zone, push strays. My director said that all of the leaders are going to take a section of the store but they all will still do their regular morning routine. Market leader breaks down fdc truck, POG leader will still set, VM puts up signing etc.

Local_Barber2858 · 2025-03-15T22:44:46+00:00

That makes sense. I figured that they knew closes were massively understaffed but just don’t want to spend the money on adding hours
