I could do up 85-90 hours on a regular basis and come clean - Spot bought my team a lot of dinners - but everything had to be going right. We couldn't afford call outs, bad days, sloppy trucks, etc. His situation is tough, but possible...when you cross over 100 hours on a regular basis (non-seasonal), you're in trouble.
2500 piece trucks also? Explain your process. Because I don't believe it. And if you try to tell me it's a push all I'm going to turn my computer off promptly and die of laughter.
I don't work for Spot anymore, so you don't have to believe it - I don't care. I do still check in here from time to time to see what's new or help where I might have a little knowledge.
Our average truck was probably 22-2400 - occasionally we'd get in the high teens and rarely would get over 2800 - I think the high during my tenure was 3100 - I honestly thought the truck was 68 feet long. Old style store with two openings. We weren't a push all - that was only ULV stores from my understanding. BS off the truck would range from 400-800.
When I left - this was out set up...
4-5 in the BR doing pulls, truck backstock, and push backstock. They would usually come out and push for about 90 minutes taking care of babies and diapers.
2 people throwing the truck, 1 scanner, 2 on the backstock side, 3-4 on the push side of the line. eventually one person in the truck keeping the line moving down. 2 people pulling pallets. Team bowled after unload until 1st break.
1 TM in electronics/stationary. 1 in HBA working repacks and pulls and 1 in soft lines during unload breaking out pallets.
Unload goal was 60-90 minutes - usually in the 75 to 90 minutes frame.
After unload:
1 in electionics/stationary. 1 in HBA/cosmetics. 1 in SL hang and 1 in SL repacks. 1 TM would handle Blue side (toys, HIPA, sports)
Balance of the team was in the wave. HBA, Market, seasonal, home, domestics, chem, and pets. pulls were pushed as we moved...as we finished market, one person would start pushing the home repacks and one would go break out domestics.
one person would go do cardboard around 5am
I (ETL) would usually jump in the last aisle and push with that person to help keep the wave together.
Hey - it wasn't easy, but honestly - if we were under 90 hours, we could come clean...over 90 and we were challenged - it just depends on where the time was.
As we would get into BTS, halloween, and Q4 - we would move people around...2-3 on blue....1 person in seasonal all night - etc.
On a side note - your "passion" as you call it comes across like you're an A-hole.
