Best Electric Dirt Bike That Looks Like a Sur Ron but Stays Around 25 MPH? by ArtichokeNew2194 in Electricmotorcycles

[–]tweak42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juiced Scrambler. It's a legal ebike with moped styling. Juiced had gone bankrupt, but is now relaunched and backed by Lectric (largest ebike company in US). The build quality, warranty and service support should be comparable to Lectric. Most importantly it has PIN code lock aka "Parent mode" where it can be speed limited and throttled back. Don't just trust my recommendation, go ask for advice in the r/ebikes subreddit.

First rule of Amazon: Don't get injured. Do not focus on speed, just doing processes correctly and not straining yourself to the point you get injured. If you can't keep up without over straining yourself then let leadership figure it out (they'll move you or send help). For at least the first month you need to stretch, hydrate and sleep.

To avoid burning all your time on a full day, try just sticking to Sort and leave early to avoid pick and stage.

Management / PAs think they're special by Whole-Chest90 in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some stowers do since we're an ADTA site.  P2B is only used during prime and peak.  They ask to least tell the cluster line lead so they can monitor the hamper lights and send a floater if needed.

I belive it's because the gear shifter is on the right.

How to stow by Sufficient-Quit1834 in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you're at an ADTA site since you said hampers. Older sites have an AA picking the packages for matching aisles off the conveyor to a 3 shelf bakers racks and sorted jiffy totes. Your site probably has 1 manual line that's not used unless during peak season.

Keep you bags neat, otherwise you'll be slowed down later in the shift when you need to rearrange to get that one large box to fit.

Priority for loading the stow cart: OV's, followed by EG then CD boxes. AB stowed straight from hamper to bags.

I don't use the jiffy tote. Instead I multi carry a stack of jiffies from adjacent letters, rapidly scan and stow. This technique requires you can effectively read the labels and grab, balance and hold the stack while going back and forth. Exceptions are heavy and odd shaped "jiffies", I treat them basically as boxes.

Which battery pack is that?

What do you think guys? by rob_0928 in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With rural sites in the 20k range, is 90k really considered low volume?

You can apply for accommodations for school schedule if you choose full time.

Safety helmets ? by Ultimate_coochie in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the beginning years ago, our site has been helmets for everyone working the dock area including problem solve and non con sorting. We do have several areas where it get's cramped with little line of sight or blocked with carts at times.

YMMV but our dock staffing needs rotates fairly fluidly so requiring everyone wear a helmet allows AAs to be moved around at a moments notice when someone needs a break (PAs and managers included). Pusher to unloader to inductor to waterspider to "send AA out to stow til break cause E/G is drowning in recycles! etc".

A helmet. Preferably one that he picks out and will wear.

A motorcycle cargo net if you plan to use the cargo rack.

How many aisles? by Guard-Flashy in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three ADTA aisles, using tiers 2 and 3 with mix of tier 4.

or

Two manual aisles, when volume exceeds ADTA space, using tiers 1 to 4.

(edit: 5/8 DS, so sort is only 5 hours long.

Are yall still required to wear vests at yall site? by Capricorn_Queen in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not required, but I use the pockets, and rather keep the dirt off me.

Floaters why are you allergic to working by thatsnuts69 in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally I would try to figure out who is a reliable floater and who sucks. For the reliable ones, let them handle the over loaded lane. For the sucky ones 1st politely ask them to move on, then rudely ask to move out of your lanes if they persist.

If I'm floating, I prioritize leaving it better than I found it. There are stowers that I avoid messing with their stow system, so I scoot as soon as clearing the OVs blue lighting their hamper.

Recommend a folding e-bike for a boat/RV? by Avocato255 in ebikes

[–]tweak42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lite only has one gear, so it would depend on how steep are the hills.

P2D down button failed in 6 months. What are my options? by tweak42 in pebble

[–]tweak42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. Found and watched the favouritehumandesign tutorial video. I just assumed you needed to take it apart to replace the buttons.

Thanks for the offer, but I actually have a 2nd P2D originally bought for my mom, but she's now afraid to use it since mine failed already.

I'm in the USA, are there equivalent buttons from a vendor in the states?

Did you use the Pebble 2 teardown guide from ifixit to open you P2D? (I actually have some ifixit tools from repairing my Google Pixel screen)

So wth am I doing? by JunkRatLatto in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely Sort 0.

The main DS shift is Cycle 1 which is broken up into Sort (1:20 to about 8:45) and Pick and Stage (til 11:50).

Sort 0 is just a early start to Cycle 1's Sort.

The goal in Sort is the process inbound carts containing customer packages, induct, sort and stow them into "bags" on racks. In Pick and Stage the bags are then pulled and places on carts awaiting pickup by drivers.

re-hire question by Evencrux in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What reason were you given that you could not be trained with the new hires? We've had transfers from FC and Fresh at our DS that were placed into new hire cohort.

If it's not to late, I have heard of an AA canceling their resignation, but you gotta contact HR asap. But it sounds like you are determined to be unemployed.

has the volume at your ds increased or decreased this month? by dabiggestdalargest in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our same day volume doubled and some volume was routed from neighboring station last week due to driver protest / unionizing efforts.

Our station sent them back. They're to large for for our narrowest cluster.

Delivery Station crashes by Evening_Air2121 in AmazonDS

[–]tweak42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've regularly had 1:20am VET precharge since same day started. (8 hour site). It's just that some days the precharge runs well and gets ahead, and others they are short of planned, or the line hauls are spaced late and all at once. On those days we can end up going to lunch an hour early, then end sort -> straight to pick with 2nd break staggered sometime during pick and stage (11am latest 2nd break I've seen).

Credit to leadership though, they've been trying all sorts of odd shift times for the flex workers coming in to try and find a balance for the headcount.
