I started a job at Wal-Mart distribution center about a month ago and I am just now starting to get the hang of this. I’m so glad I found your videos man. I really appreciate it.
Thanks, man! Day 3 after training. I've lost at least one skid every day. Mostly the back corners. I realise now where I'm going wrong. Taking corners too fast/Rushing in general, low corners, trying to make things fit. Not interlocking those awkward corners. And trying to save time by not giving it a mid wrap at chest height. The frustration got to me today lost same corner three darn times. If I had just calmed down i could have done it right after the first mishap.
Another great video Tim, for sure this should help trainees. To be honest this stuff is not talked about in training. I would like add some other things to this. Knowing the pivot point on jack, when turning use your hips not your shoulder. Know which side of the aisle is odd/even. Learn the layer, if the layer is 6 don't squeeze 8 into that block and have a overhang. Build your dense pallets not swiss cheese. Know what your headset is saying, you should be able to repeat it would for word. Lastly and most importantly have realistic goals. Ask your trainer, to do 100% how do I have to move per hour in cases per hour and weight moved. At my place, 250+ cases per hour and 10k to 15k pounds per hour moved. When you have that understanding you can set goals.
A tip for new people: when lifting, try to have your head level as you are half bent over. Helps Keeping you from being bent over too far. Tim, you see anyone doing textbook lifting like the training videos instruct?
Every piling mistake can be avoided if the picking notes are planned correctly (with the size, shape and weight of the goods in mind). Most of picking notes are nonsense. They just follow the shortest route instead of stacking heave products at the bottom.
Last week a crazy driver hit my jack. What should I do, should I let one the the trainers know about this issue since this guy refuses to be more careful?
Hey man it's my second day as a selector I'm having a little trouble sticking to the ties when I get different size boxes I spend to much time looking where I want to put it and I don't end up fallowing the ties do you have any advice?
Did you see my video on following the block with different cases? Honestly my videos of me selecting might benefit you the most. What kind of warehouse?
@@TheWarehouseSeries Okay thanks! I applied for order selector and I've never done it before even though I do have many years in warehouse work 😅 I've been watching your videos to help me prepare and they've been SO helpful. I'm grateful that you've uploaded them 🙂
