Dear Edward,

Why would a driver want to dismount from his truck to check the load via a laser scanner when equipped with a hand-held scanner, provided the despatching company had the sense to place all the pallets on the lorry with their barcodes facing outwards? The driver could simply scan the load while it is still on the lorry and then read the storage destination of that pallet on his RDT (radio data terminal), be it within racking or on a cross docking area.

The same applies when the reverse operation takes place, i.e. from the racking directly to the lorry.
