[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1105656, member: 43119"] The obvious sarcastic parts were indeed sarcastic. However, management does only care about misloads. They do not truly care about load quality. So, as a preloader, if you desire to get away with the bare minimum, load quickly, do not misload, and... don't defecate in the trucks? I don't know. Those first two are really the only things they care about. The driver of my mall route thanks me every other day for my work. The driver of a route I load only on Mondays (most of the time) apparently has a crush on me (...joke) because of my load quality. The drivers who run the resi route I load Tues-Fri are always happy to get me. There are some people in management who appreciate this work. They really do. One driver sup walked by and was in awe at how neat everything looked. However, his opinion doesn't matter - the preload manager's opinion matters. And he doesn't give a crap about load quality. He likes numbers. Productivity high, misloads low. That's all he cares about. Anyway, I'm really drunk. I lost track of where I was going with this. Let's just say, I don't necessarily care about my drivers. They aren't my friends. But, for a person to do any job long-term, they must get some kind of satisfaction from it. I get satisfaction from knowing that I did a good job. I know this based on feedback I've received from drivers ever since I was hired. [/QUOTE]
