In the Buffer step, which statement is true about handling inducted packages?

• A. Take inducted packages, read the yellow SAL label, and place them onto the corresponding bakers rack.
• B. Scan each package with a dolphin device to locate its route cart.
• C. Log into the Dolphin to stage a route.
• D. Place packages directly onto the ground for pickup.

Answer: (B)

In the Buffer step, the goal is to place inducted packages onto the correct route carts so they’re ready for the outbound run. Scanning each package with a Dolphin device identifies its assigned route cart in the system and confirms you’re placing it onto the right cart. This real-time verification prevents misrouting and keeps the staging process efficient. Reading a yellow SAL label and placing on a bakers rack isn’t tied to routing the package to its specific cart, logging into the Dolphin to stage a route describes accessing the system rather than handling the physical pairing, and placing packages on the ground is not a valid staging practice.
