28-30 TMs on a 2300 truck? 15 unloading. How long SHOULD it take, starting at 4am? I'm finding it difficult to get done by our scheduled time out, by 9am. What works for u?

Hello! I'm interviewing for a flow team leader position soon and was just wondering what to expect. The interview is with the DTL, I've already been through 2 interviews with an ETL, and STL & HR. I've been given great feedback and was told I interviewed exceptionally well. If I get the...

I was just asked by ETL-GE to become a GSA and I'm not quite sure if I should take it or not. Currently, I've been on flow for the last 9 months and are not desperate to leave but the 5am and 15 hours a week is getting old. I've asked to be moved into backroom (I'm already trained) but they just...

I was looking at the release notes for the winter PDA update, and it looks like they removed the app used to acknowledge trailers in RFapps since the same functionality is in the Receive web app on the PDA. The problem is that nobody at my store noticed a few months ago when we were told to...

My store's taking the first double in years, since several years before I started working there. I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm kind of interested in seeing how we deal with it. We never push a truck during open hours, so this'll be different. We typically have a 4am start time, 3am...

This is how it's done folks. That rail in the back is a support for excess frames. Display only one out front. Unless you have a lot, then just stack them all against the rail. No need to display more than one. I post this because it's apparently an unknown process for sales floor and flow...

The search function is not working, so I wanted to get some ideas on how to properly execute merchandise protection in both: FLOW According to best practice, there are supposed to be 5-10 flow team members trained in how to spider wrap, etc. According to reality, my store has 8 flow team...

I am looking for a more efficient way to do breakout in softlines at my store. What does your store do that works really well? Do you have copies of the VA's so you know where to put new items that come off the truck or do you just "flex them in" and hope for the best? Do you use my devices or...

I am new to Target having only worked here for less than one year. What I am curious about is hearing from other merchandise flow team members how their truck unload process goes. How many "throwers" do you have at your store? Is it two people the entire time or is there a rotation?

Rather than put myself in this subject, I'll ask the question instead: What are the unwritten social rules of your flow team?

I have a simple question. Can you use your own box cutter. It doesn't say anything in the handbook that i have to use the small/slim box cutter they give you. The box cutter that is given to you is out dated and a danger to yourself. I would like to use my own flip blade and can't get a real...

Our trucks average about 2200-2300 peices, with about 1600-1700 as push. 3 trucks a week, with a fourth every other saturday. We come in at 4am-4:30, and are scheduled until 8-8:30AM. We have about 20 flow TMs. At four half the team comes in and starts the truck unload, two throwers, one...
