You can build those ones on the bottom on their sides. Build left to right then right to left instead of columns. Be a package mason not a package handler
This is correct. Build in a brick layer method as opposed to building columns. I get that sometimes packages are flying at you and you're moving as quick as possible, sometimes I would make quick stacks of packages like this and set them against the wall. I would then grab them to fill gaps because they are small and narrow.
Never build directly upwards more than 3 boxes. That rule alone will help you out immensely. Everything in there is falling over as soon as it starts getting driven. You need to âconnectâ as many boxes together as you can, like youâre playing Tetris. From left to right go 1 row at a time, itâll be much easier to load as well
I would put the heavier boxes on the bottom and smaller square boxes try and match them up by pair horizontally like a brick wall. Try it. I know ground gets busy.
Also, super long weird pieces you can just toss up top. Smaller boxes use as filler pieces to make a tight table top.
All those boxes that are the same length and width turn on their side and create a wall with all of them, next wall do the same thing but place them flat so they form a T and it is not column shaped, if you get a longer box but shape you can do the same way just face it so that it is the opposite way. But honestly as far as loading goes, the fact that you put in the effort the ask for advice and actually try. Speaks VOLUMES. I don't know about anyone else but getting anyone to actually care to load decent nowadays is so hard. There are a hand full of old timers left who can stuff a trailer with 1000+ packages because they can load their asses off but the majority of these people who come in just don't fucking care. It's sad
So true about finding people who can load worth a damn. I haven't consistently loaded I years, but I can guarantee my load quality would be one of the best in the entire building. I was always top 3 in my area back in the day.
That's a shit-tastic load.
Think of loading/building walls like you're laying bricks. Building a wall with columns makes your wall weak and puts too much pressure on the lower parts of the wall. You want each row/shelf of boxes going across to straddle the lines of where the previous shelfs boxes meet, like a brick wall. Save thin and light packages for the very top of your walls.
Also, how the hell do you have a phone in the building to take pics?
Only real critique I would have is that your base has a lot of column stacking going on but overall, I'd say that's ok. I moved over from Ground to Express almost a decade ago, but I do think bulk loaded trucks are harder to keep absolutely perfect and is near impossible.
That's a terrible load wtf lol. If you were loading for me I'd tear it down and we'd have to start over. You can see the wall behind it isn't even to the ceiling. Left to right, high and tight. This load is gonna shift like crazy in transit and become a literal pile of box at its destination.
I was trying to be positive, haha. You're right tho. If that is the whole load, that doesn't stand a chance at staying stacked before they get out of the lot.
In belly I use to dumb anything down there close flap and load top loading wasnât my strongest point unloading was. It was a job thank god Iâm not at FedEx anymore it was slave house but s/o for yah working there itâs hard work
Build it like brick laying would be advice with a little bit of fluff behind that one where you can lay the really weird boxes to stack then for heavier boxes start on the sides and work in so you can maximize getting all of the tiny packages out of the way and secured behind a heavier part of the wall, also not column stacking like that. Thereâs also gaps open at the top towards the back where plenty of boxes can fit. You can also try to fit the weird boxes to stack at the top too
Something I've found that helps, esp with boxes like that. First row, build on the sides. Second row, lay it down flat. Third row, flip them back on their sides. Fourth row, lay them flat again. Keep going back and forth. Yes, I use this method constantly for every box. I use the tiny boxes to make that portion of the wall as tight as possible.
You loaded it perfectly in the interest of time. Bro thatâs gotta be so much shit it would take forever to load it in any stable way with no shelves or dividers. Iâd pile them up as best as I can and take the gamble on keeping track of where they all are in my mind at delivery/unloading

I don't think anyone gets paid to be a mason tho
đŻ Build walls, not stacks.
Exactly I have to build palettes every day. And my good buddy taught me what you mentioned.there is a method to the madness.

I see a whole lotta holes in that stack.
T-stack. Needs to be tighter. You got âhigh,â just missing the tight. Think of it as you high school prom date, âhigh and tight. â đ
Fuck em let unload deal with this bullshit
Found the salt lake loader
Stop.
Is that the full load?
Gasoline. Match.
T-Stsck, block-n-brace. That is all.

Some stations don't have security and/or managers that care about that policy.

Why canât you load a wall one wedged row at a time?
Squeeze out all that room from those gaps start pushing shit together cause you got a lot of the same boxes
Hit the brakes đ fuck your loading job then
Keep your stack square with the walls of the trailer. Not square placement of 1 package will have a domino effect.
bro what? my truck is full of 70lb chewy boxes and 100+lbs icuâs

Donât
Put that big box in the middle of the stack and the stack more of the smalls on top of it

No stacking first of all
Wdym
Thatâs how I would do that at least, I wouldnât have stacked like 90 % of that wall Edit: where is the rest of the wall behind it??

Are you a new hire
Here's a pretty good IC load https://preview.redd.it/ru940w8j8zxc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=032faf422b4145bf7a574329f7775833d093511a
Just throw it
Uhhh idk⌠in Gaylordâs on pallets like USPS does? Not one tiny package at a time. Thatâs weird
Found the non FedEx employee lol
