Big Time Feeder Driver
I contend that most time is lost in the back of the package car "massaging" the load.
I know of no one who takes pleasure "massaging" the load. One has to do this because the load is never right. Never. No matter how much you ask. It is insulting to insinuate that the drivers are to blame for not asking for help. I pleaded for it, as I am sure many do.
It is also unethical to blame drivers for the condition of their loads and then hold them accountable when they have to "massage" them. As has been stated on these forums before, I.E. knows that package selection is a problem, and they know who is to blame. And it certainly isn't the drivers.
When I was in package I would deliver all my airs and any bulk that prevented me from proper selection. Then, if the package car was sufficiently clear, I would sort the entire car. Sometimes it took 20 minutes to do this. But guess what, I never had to sort again for the rest of the day.
Do the right thing, add 15 to 30 minutes sort time to each driver. Numbers problems will be solved. And it will not increase the paid day because drivers are doing this anyways. But now they are getting beat over the head for it.
Or fix the pre-load. But we all know that will never happen. Millions of dollars spent on PAS/EDD prove it.
