Advice on Working Freight

When I started my TL told me to work the pallets with the most water and chips first. I did that. Now my trainer is telling me that I need to work all the water and chips first. I did that. Then he said that I shouldn't fill up U-boats; I should load them then work them. The only other option is to downstack pallets onto other pallets. Should I do this?

I don't think I could make suggestions to my trainer. He's been with Whole Foods a looooong time. I think I'll just take the smaller boxes off the top and put them on another pallet, then load the water. Chips are always on top so that one's easier.

Its ok to suggest smarter more efficient ways of doing things to ur trainer. Ur the one working the load always question if the system being used is the most effective and efficien. Ur leader and trainers should be mature and supportive enough to any good ideas that make work more efficient

Keep doing ur thing

It all depends, do u work ur load overnight or day time.

I work all All water and chips first because there always good selling items, also keeping in mind tms need the drink aisle filled so they can fill the drink cooler(if drinks aisle wasn't filled as a priority then u would see alot of wholes ones tms started filling the drink cooler. I spot as much as I can out on the floor because it's double work loading on u boats. I make sure it's organized and easy for customers to walk around. I definitely make sure to spot out water and chips and canned goods(cuz its harder on the closers to work canned goods quicker, for some reason) I nevee put water or uboats on chips, doesn't seem efficient, Chips being so light on weight
