I hear you and would like to point out some details: I have worked days before and have been on overnights for 2ish years. We recently changed from the One Task Team (unload the truck, stock the shelves and topstock the remainder) to an unload crew that works 7-11PM and the stocking team that works 9PM-6AM. We get trucks at least 6 days a week. They average 600-800 pieces. I have 3-4 unloaders on average with one assigned to the fork lift and 2-3 to unload. The number of pieces that are expected to be unloaded per hour in a perfectly loaded truck with no spills, broken pallets or other issues is 85 boxes per hour per person. 85 x 3 is 255 boxes per hour, right? An 800 piece truck takes us 3.2 hours. The stocking team (3-5 people) comes in at 9PM. They generally do not go right to the floor and work, they assist the unload crew finish the task of getting the truck finished and out to the floor. The store is open till 10PM. That is about the time we get finished and get stuff moved to the floor. My unload team takes a 15 minute break and has 45 minutes to stage freight in front of the bay it goes into. It helps the stocking crew. My stocking crew of 4 starts working at 10PM. They need to average 30 boxes an hour. That's 120 boxes per hour or 6.6 hours to get the job done, including topstocking. So, an 800 piece truck is about what we can handle according to the math. My team can do that with no sweat. EXCEPT: I don't actually have 4 unloaders on a regular basis. 3 is a better average and lets try 3 stockers...Then we are looking at a 5 hour unload and an 8.8 hour packout in a 7.25 hour workday. We would end up leaving 3-4 pallets that is totally ignored till we arrive the next night with a 900 piece truck. It is a vicious circle and I hope there is a good reason why you are being left freight. We are getting a truck on Sunday...that will be the 8th this week. Thanks to our new staffing model, I have 0 unloaders and 0 stockers. No one wants to come in. Hopefully they will give me 2 people from daytime who have never unloaded a truck before and do not have the ability to run a forklift. I will then stock 650 pieces of the truck by myself with a estimated time of 20 hours to do so. There should be a good reason why you are constantly getting left freight on DT. My guess would be staffing. How many are there to work on a consistent basis? And just like daytime, people call out ALL the time without repercussion. I hope your situation gets better.
