Any other stores doing a push all truck for flow? We just started on Monday to push all and I feel like this idea blows bananas.

It is far more efficient. I have seen it done in stores successfully where they rarely take trailers below 2700 everyday of the week. Your BRTMs will not have truck backstock anymore, and therefore can help push as well (for the first part of your wave). Then they go back and keep up with the Backstock from the wave. Your floor will be more full, and you have removed a majority of the human error caused when scanning the truck.

That's true. Also I feel like it is not the same amount of backstock because instead of full cases being sent straight to the back, they are opened and some of the product goes out.
That all depends how flow brings it. My store has been taught to take all product out of partial cases. This is why I would rather them not open the box if only a few can go out.
I used to attend flow huddles to let them know which areas were mpg, which were ETL-fake-mpg, and answer any of their instocks related questions. At least once a week I had to remind them that there is NO PRIZE for getting the most items into a single spot.I know it can be done right, the learning curve is pretty damn steep and you have to have a crew who can understand the "what and the why" and please explain that back stock is not a crime. Which is what we had one ETL making it out to be.. Instead of teaching her crew how to do it right, speed comes but wrong is always wrong.Any other stores doing a push all truck for flow?

Sure the floor will be more full until In-Stocks comes through and pulls all the crap that should have been back stock in the first place. We are still fighting this fight.. With Flow losing badly.
No locations - push anywhere! (hint: It will set next week)
2nd locations -empty!
Home location - stuffed so full its falling on the floor!
Or they stack it so high on a top shelf - concussion happens when it falls off on to the head of the poor soul who dares to pull it down.
Or flex it to the empty product next to the one you just overpacked, then back stock that one.
Sorry for the snark.

Because autofills don't exist for the backroom to pull? Also the backroom still gets truck backstock, it just comes significantly later so it's less likely to be done.

the backroom will still have the same amount of backstock you/they are just giving it a different name. The human error is still there it's just in a different place. Product will continue to be stocked in the wrong location but now there will be more of it in more varied locations.
It just really magnified the problem.. Cause stuff that would have gone straight to back stock off the truck now was put out on the floor where people are told
BE DONE ALREADY! So they just push it to be done.

Yes they exist, they pull them during the unload. You should have enough BRTMs to get Autofills pulled in the same amount of time it would take your Unload to get completed! Then they all push food (most likely) as the first part of the wave, BR breaks away and starts backstocking the product that is getting sent back... Simple
