I’m headed into week 2 of being on my own & I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to walk off because I was so disgusted at how my pallets looked. This channel gives me the confidence to keep going.

For any new selectors, i ‘ve been selecting for. 2 1/2 years now…

Tips for multiple sized boxes increase speed confidence knowledge

- 9 point theory, there are 9 points of support on your pallet you should always have filled with each layer built
4 corners, straight down the middle and across

- large boxes on the outside, fill gaps with smaller boxes

- what side you pick on, place it on that side or in the middle

- keep like items (same size height together)

- always keep back boxes straight unless grouped with same boxes

- always use slip sheets (they act as resets, let you know your pallet flat or not

- keep 4 corner cases around the same height, they’ll always level out

I’m on my third day of training week (first time selecting in my life) and I have been constantly stacking horrible and of course my performance on each order has been awful. I had to endure many folks just stare at me and make comments as I’m going by my shift with orders. I was extremely depressed tonight due to my constant poor performance but this video picked me up. Thank you.

I was doing a cage pick, three for each LLOP. I put the cages in the lane for the loader, drove forward, then BANG! looked back, a straps wes caught between the cage and LLOP. There was red wine EVERYWHERE lol

I has my first shift after a week's training today, my LAST pallet of the day went over, the entire thing was eggs too. I felt humiliated, people laughed before helping. I had the thought of quitting when I got back to my car, and I'm nervous for going back tomorrow.
This video has been a big help though, I've my fingers crossed for better results. Cheers

We use those plastic black pallets on my job however if I see a crack or bend in those I don't use that type of pallet at all. Also thanks for tip for wrapping lightly & not to leave any spaces or gap nor having it leaning that's why my pallets be falling.

I started watching this stuff a while a go. It's helped my picking so much . Im hired through an agency and the warehouse I work at lost the contract we had meaning almost everyone is being let go but thanks to these tips they are keeping me and one other person and making us permanent and paying for our forklift ticket. Thankyou so much for this content

I work at Walmart and I’m a team lead. I’ve stacked pallets for 2 years. Detergent and pet products. I’ve not gotten much better. Imma show my team this to help them and me as well.

Perfect ur stacking and ur shift will go alotttt smoother

[Skybar]

I work at Americold...the key imo is keep similar shaped boxes together...makes Hella difference ...also the lanes you pick in and the the allocation of all items in a warehouse is planned and deliberately put there so your boxes arent impossible to stack

[PhilMcIntyler]

I've dropped plenty of pallets when I first started. I am in a cooler department and I pick 218-231 cases per hour depending on my mood. I've been selecting for a year and a half now.

[zaymarquez]

Best thing do when selecting is play jenga in your head and don't overtime where to put stuff I'm grateful my warehouse is mostly just light stuff

[sew]

Thank you so much!! Followed your tips and did much better today. On week three and building pretty tight pallets. Just need to work on doing it faster 😁

[Cristovive]

I'm on my almost six month stacking in a pallet my pallet isn't horrible but still alot to learn

[viperkos]

Remember if u make a palet with a water bottles, use paper spacers between every layer of bottles. What will this doo is ur next layer will not shift left/right

[abelyumad]

i started working at OK Produce in fresno CA as a produce order selector. Sometimes i get discouraged because sometimes i just don’t get how to move around the pallet to fit more stuff

[tommytwotoes]

Dude i love your channel and what you are doing. Your putting out good info that is applicable to everyday people. I selected for MBM Sysco walmart and kroger. Your info is spot on. Too anyone wandering when the stack comes easy speed comes.

[JorgeTheStoner]

I’m a month in and this shit is hard it’s building a puzzle all day for 12-14 hours straight I got selectors who have been there for a while coming by and saying bro you suck your bad at selecting your an embarrassment to us selectors lmao it gets in my head but imma learn this and whip my ass with them in a couple months
