Iv been in the distribution for 4 years it still makes me laugh when rookies come in cocky asf and quit in 2 weeks
You are the most detailed warehouse guy I've seen. Thank you
I appreciate it!
Keep these videos coming because I just started as as a selector this week
I definitely will
How is it going for u?
If u have a slip sheet dont have to take the time to wrap at all in my warehouse we have dairy deli produce meat eggs nd flowers also we have to shroud which makes it slippery the slip sheet helps
I’ve been picking for 4 years . You make great videos man! Very helpful
I appreciate it!
Man I start tomorrow I’m just tryna learn fast
Enjoying your take on order selecting
Thank you
Thank you so much for this. Im going into my 3rd week and I’ll be without a trainer so I want to get the most advice possible before doing it by myself 🙏
Glad I can help
It's 1:00am am I am still looking and learning threw your videos.. I just started my job and they automatically placed us in the hardest part (produce/perishable/dairy) and you are saying the exact same thing my trainer is saying about building so this is very useful
Come over to Discord so we can help you
The reason why alot of guys use cardboard is it helps. Like that banana pallet with the potatoes would be a perfect chance to use the cardboard. I dont go crazy with it an i definitely wont be searching for any lol. But if its around why not.
I'm coming around on the cardboard
Dude you are the most helpful person I have watched I I'm 4o and just got started selecting again after 11 years and I I'm struggling you should do a video on barriers that is the one I I'm having problems with
Thank you for your kind words, can you elaborate more on what you mean by barriers?
Hey Tim, I'm 18 and for the past 6 months I have been working in the Dry Warehouse of a Major Distribution Centre here in Australia and everything you have said in these Case Picker videos is spot on and has helped me become a faster picker and build better pallets, thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
I'm glad I can help and I appreciate you taking the time to write a post
@@TheWarehouseSeries Hey Tim Just curious but what are your standard pallet dimensions where you are as in Australia the pallets are 1165mm x 1165mm or roughly 46 inches sq because when we stack the pallet you barely want to be outside the dimensions of the pallet as there is little wiggle room when they are loaded onto the truck side by side
@@curtisthomson4390 honestly I have no idea. We go by cube. Our pallet cube have changed over the years, it was 70 cube now we are 64 cube. 64 cube is around 6.5 ft high
@@TheWarehouseSeries yeah that sounds about right if we get a 2 pallet order that’s 3.7 Cubic Metres, that is 2 Full Pallets 6-7 feet high! And I believe it is the same thing all around the world a few years ago they shortened the times for each assignment and made the Orders Larger/Higher to take up as much room as possible on the trucks to cut down on costs.
@@curtisthomson4390 I'm at work now and I was telling guys it's interesting to hear people talk all over the world about their warehouse and it sounds as if they're my coworker
Seems like you're helping a lot of people 👍
I'm glad!! I never thought these videos would get the reaction they're getting
Thank you for the tips! Good content 👍 I need these so bad. I start selecting this week.
Thank you Angel! What type of warehouse you working in?
You need any help let me know
@@TheWarehouseSeries of course. The warehouse is refrigeration. It's my first warehouse job so I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Not a lot girls there. The pay and benefits is the best I've had in years.
@@angelgee well I'm in refrigeration so let me know
I’ve been selecting for 4 years and I have to disagree on the cardboard part. I only use cardboard if I have to and don’t depend on it every order. Just like you said, if you’re searching for cardboard in the middle of your order then you have ways to go as a stacker. Cardboard for me is a cheat code. I’m 6’2, when my stack is chest high I throw my slip sheet on top for a more stable pallet, and it eliminates stopping and wrapping. My stacking is 2nd to none, but it’s still good to have a couple on your jack. Im a runner so it helps with minimizing downtime to stop and wrap. It takes 5 seconds to find cardboard and 2 seconds to put it on but it takes 3 minutes to stop and wrap and start back picking. If you take time stacking then yeah I agree with you, stacking should be A1. If there’s a gap under the cardboard, there’s gonna be a case you’re gonna pick to put in that gap sooner or later. Shouldn’t apply for heavy hitters. A stable pallet is key!
Pretty awesome comment. Using a sheet here and there I can understand but having one every layer.
@@TheWarehouseSeries I agree with you 1,000%. I seen this one guy who used one every layer. Little did he know, we were in the dairy section where all the cases matched. He just had to lock his cases up but he walked two aisle down to look for cardboard and used it every layer. I’m making 28/hr right now which is top dollar and I don’t have the time to stop and train. Blowing right past him shaking my head everytime.
Cardboard is essential for juice orders.
I agree with that
I just started today thanks for the info
Glad I could help
Our place mandates slip sheets bc the selectors stacked so bad in the past. I’m anti slip sheet, when I first got on, the trainer keep putting slip sheets in my order as we walked and I would always give them the most eat shit and die look, but they knew I did this b4 so they ain’t 4uck with me after. But yeah, slip sheets hold u back. The only exception is whole orders of ocean spray juice or 100 + little Raman or little dole fruit pack boxes
At my distribution center loblaws in dairy the orange juices I put upside down makes for flat top and if up put inside down up right-side up next to each other u can fit more
I just have my rule, liquids upright at all times. If it works and no one says anything then role with it.
@@TheWarehouseSeries how do I feel on using tape sometimes instead of wrap for collom stacks
@@gavinchapman7106 if it works
I do the same thing also
Great video
Thank you!
The only type of build a layer of cardboard is good for is stacking eggs. Not every layer needs it, but it least it one or two in a full pallet especially if it’s a chipped wood pallet on the end.
Thanks Tim , im 40 and i really wanna make it at my job ..
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Hopefully I can help
If u ever have to stop and wrap, u might as well wrap from the bottom up. At the end of the order we have to wrap, and in the unlikely case I have to wrap mid order I take the extra 10 seconds to wrap what's on the pallet. U will get that 10 seconds back next order
If no wrap machines yes I agree
I like cardboard but not the slip sheet I use cardboard to shim. Little pieces to prop up a dip
If it works out for you. 👍
Your videos have been a lot of help thanks a lot!!
Awesome, I'm glad I can help.
One potato, two potatoe, three potatoe,
banana!
Lol
The cardboard collectors started happening at my work too 😂 1 guy started it then everyone’ started doing it but it stopped cuz the guy who started it quit …
Lol
Hi I've seen the the first 3 videos I've been an order selector for 2 weeks but having trouble with the base an tying in
What kind of cases are you throwing?
I am having such a hard time figuring out which boxes go where after I have my base waist high. I know to start with the corners and work in but I get lost
Come to Discord and share some pictures. Lots of help over there
That cardboard drives me nuts.
I’ve been selecting since 2017 and I’ve worked for 2 companies, HEB and now Ben e keith and holy shit man two totally different animals, heb is like allllll going to one place so you can put anything where ever you want but at Ben e keith we select pallets with up to 18 different customers so you have to “zone” it and separate it and that goes from meat allll the way to berries and candy and what not bags too and having to column stacking is a biiiitch but shit you get paid by the case soooo screw it and say fuck the driver sometimes Lmfao
I definitely learned through Discord that warehouses are very different
Would Iove to see all commands or list for example skip aisle and skip slots
Come over to Discord and ask the selectors over there
Hey Tim , could you show us different blocks ? And tricks maybe to stack faster and better ?
Honestly all my videos are to help you stack faster and better. When it comes to blocks I do have a few videos pertaining to that. What kind of warehouse are you at?
ruclips.net/video/eDbhn2TPU-w/видео.html
Here is one of them
My warehouse is case selection too , eh its called hy-vee ware house in cherokee Iowa
@@davidmaldonado5116 are you allowed to take pics when done with work? If you are you can leave them on Discord and I can put them on video to help you
Or all commands especially related to skipping aisle or slots would love to see video but also what do u say to skip
There are a few on Discord that are able to skip. I cannot skip at my warehouse so I really don't know.
Any chance we can see you pick a live order for a video? You’re tips have been really helping me out at my warehouse.
I don't think our managers will allow it. We have cameras all through our warehouse.
But I'm glad the videos are useful
@@TheWarehouseSeries I’d thought so. that’s a bummer.
@@yodambomb4974 yeah he hasn’t posted a vid in a long time. I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s interesting seeing other pickers doing their thing in other warehouses though.
What do the fastest guys in your warehouse do? Use cardboard or go raw? At mine it's almost all cardboard. There's only a handful of people who don't use slipsheets and they almost all cheat by shorting cases that would ruin their trip. Those who don't also tend to have the worst looking stacks. There are people who can do it, and theirs looks fine, but they aren't very quick. I personally use them as little as possible, but they were implemented for a reason: to avoid using a pallet.
I say it's about 60% that use them. I never do and I make my times just fine. With that being said I see the benefits from using them
Also I drive a reachlift where those times are combined with selection so if I'm up time on a lift I can burn it in selection
@@TheWarehouseSeries
Wow, that's definitely a different type of job. I only select unfortunately. The lift position right now just gets hosed and their production is impossible to really hit since most of the moves are forced and sometimes they can't even find the pallet. It used to be the other way around. Some lift drivers hitting 300% production numbers. Now they are lucky if they hit 100%.
But thanks for the response.
If you only have one pallet but 3 customer orders how would you keep the orders seperate?
Hard for me to answer since we don't do multiple stops BUT that's why Discord is great! We have many selectors that do these type of orders
Part 5 coming soon
Coach
What's up buddy
I’m scared that I’m not gonna be able to keep my job because I have no experience and I’m at the fastest paced warehouse in my area, meaning the rate is very high and time is low. I didn’t know this when I signed up.
If you're newer give it time. How long you been there?
@@TheWarehouseSeries I’ve been on the floor for 2 days but they’re so busy with orders that they want me to start doing it on my own today without a trainer. It’s definitely manageable but it’s the stacking that I really struggle with. My pallets look really bad and it goes from cans, flour, and soda packs to the bigger items. I think I have 90 days to make my 100% though.
@@champagnelake It's overwhelming your first week especially when they already take your trainer away. If you can take pics of your pallets I would help as much as possible. Remember to learn how to establish a base first. Not sure how many of my videos you seen but watch my videos of me selecting. I say why I do what I do. My video that comes out today is me selecting cans/juice etc.
@@champagnelakehow is progress going? I just started a few weeks ago and I was suppose to have 2 weeks of training but they only gave me 1 week. My biggest problem is I am losing a lot of time somewhere when I'm building pallets and I dont know why. Orders that should take 30 minutes take me an hour. And orders that should take an hour take me 1 hour 30 or 2 or 3 hours
Can anyone point me to some order selector jobs in the Illinois area
I would ask on my Discord
