Have your stores changed the truck days in 2024

We've had the same thing happen over the last few weeks as well. DC cancels the truck but then my SD adds it back in so we're not stuck with a double or a very large single later. It's allowed us to have some "smaller" trucks this way.

The only problem with adding trucks back is the fact that you will have a ton of backstock.
I use to use to add trucks when they would cancel . However when I did the unload I made sure we scanned the truck we added to eliminate hours of push and sent straight to backstock .

Had our 2nd truck cancel of the week meaning a two truck week!?!?!?! We're even beating sales forecast. Did something change behind the scenes with order levels or something?

Today’s truck could not be filled. Tomorrow’s is 2600. My store did end the year comping up but only 1.4%

Have had multiple cancelations as well averaging about one every 2 weeks

We definitely have always had a Saturday truck the entire 5 years I've been at my store and we push it on Saturday with a skeleton crew lolol because call outs are insane. I'm glad I won't be there for these Sunday trucks but they are going to lose alot of people changing days after all these years. They won't let anyone work a non truck day for hours ... only allowed to work the new truck days or nothing.... like really....wtf

At the ultra-low volume store, I used to work at we got trucks on T/T/S and then the STL worked to get it moved to M/W/F. He did, as we could not get people to work on the weekends. In the end, we either got trucks on T/T or M/W/F depending on the piece count of the truck.

Your SD should have updated his pud to what works best for the store .

Unfortunately for the people in this thread at least one group svp made that decision for everyone.

Tell me what pud is. It has been over 5 years since I worked for Target.

Heard that rdc 594 in South Carolina had some sort of technical issues causing a massive number of cancels.

No truck days is never something I’ve experience at my volume. Slowest part of the year is 10 to 11 trucks for us. From a staffing stand point my preferred single days is the weekends. There is no realistic way there can be a company wide standard for trucks.

THIS. During most of the year here we're a 4 or 5 truck per week sort of store. Towards the holidays it goes up to more, with doubles sometimes.

This is kind of wild to me because even the small-format store I'm at gets 5-6 RDC trucks a week-

Our truck schedule has been changing back and forth between 3 and 4 trucks per week just lately. They're all completely full, which I suppose is good from the standpoint of maximizing sending a truck in the first place. I kind of miss the days when a normal size truck for this time of year was 1400. (I do not miss the TL I had back then though.)
