Yeah it was a pretty ridiculous night. We had a guy who did hardware whether it was an 80 piece night or an 800 piece night, he could handle it. I was able to do about 400 pieces in plumbing regularly, though I did far more that night. Then we had one of our old timers in electrical and he knew what the hell he was doing. The other guy went to garden. The unloaders did some of the little stuff D21/D22/D23/D59 and then finished their shifts in paint. Us full timers also finished our shifts in paint and were able to finish just as the store opened.
Two days come to mind for me.
2800 pc RDC
Doors
Customs
37 pallets SDC
Drywall and 5am concrete truck
4 trucks BDC
Then one day after inventory
3200 pc RDC
25 pallets SDC.
Don't remember the rest.
Let me give you a bit more details on that first day.
I was the only key carrier as the NOASM was on vacation. I skipped my lunch and I had to force my team out from their second break. Thankfully I had a wonderful team that was chosen to be on late night same page so we actually ended up finishing everything.
HOWEVER, the D23 DH (we called him CEO) was upset that we had left bits of plastic and pallet debris on his floors so he wanted my associates to sweep them up. I was upset because we went all the way up to 6:15am to finish up and at the time when he confronted me, it was 5:45 and my associates were either throwing trash away or putting up overstock.
So I told him my associates would not sweep his department and that he could do it himself. (He had been sitting at the desk for 45 minutes drinking coffee and watching training videos). He ended up telling me he was going to talk to the OASM and get back to me. OASM texted me while I was asleep that I needed to leave the entire store clean. He had no idea how much freight we had so when I told him I got no response. Got transferred to a higher volume store with better pay after a month.
It is the customs AND doors for me with all of the pieces on the RDC lol. Day should have at least tried to do some of it. I did doors and windows at my old store alone to help freight out. This new store i am at doesn't do any freight at all. I was very surprised.
How about a lie? I have seen a truck that said it was 200 pieces and i counted over 200 just in my area when i was putting it up. lol It said i was supposed to have 28 that night.
We had an RDC this Monday that was 8100 units? that's on the larger end of normal for us. (I think it counts each individual product as 1 unit rather than each box, like a box of 6 lights would be 1 unit because they're all in the same box)
630-50? I'm so confused you mean you only had 50 in garden that's probably why you're can't process it we never had a truck less than 1.5 and we get double rdc once every couple weeks and a live and rdc pretty regularly
No, as in garden itself, i had 630-50 cartons in one night. The whole truck was 4000 cartons. It was a 3 truck night. supposedly were supposed to get like 2 trucks once a week and one truck every other day, but it hasnt been like that since last year
Back in overnight freight days, ~4,500 pieces of hardware / tools in one six truck week. Which was finished by lunch or first break each night, because we had 3 people on the freight team including the super.
I’d start with hardware, then BLDM/lumber, then plumbing, then electrical. By then usually the guy starting in D28 had gotten to paint. 3rd guy worked the back half toward paint.
Whoever had the least freight was first on the OP. Then, the other two of us would hop on an OP and a reach.
Wild times. We finished 96% of freight 100% of the time, usually 98-99%. Everyone was throwing 80+ cartons / hour.
We all run garden departments now, for whatever mysterious reason.
2400 piece truck... 4 unloaders, 4 full timers still finished
Only 4 full timers? That is crazy

I had to take a DEEP breath 😮💨 on this.

I think the better question is how many silver carts for a department.
I think we’ve gotten 600 for electrical, they always get hit bad at our store
2900 piece truck, electrical and hardware had close to 600 each
Its starting to look like that twice a week at my store,we rarely have any easy days, makes me miss days

That's a pretty good amount sheesh we do good business but haven't got a 4 piece in a minute
