[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 299564, member: 198"] Runners and milkers screw people over equally. Runners screw up the dispatch for everone else and Milkers are basically stealing time. Both are wrong. I tend to have a problem with Runners more though. Running, much like milking, isn't how the job is supposed to be done. Lately our stewards have been cracking down on people setting up their loads off the clock and quess which category those drivers fall under?....that's right....the runners. They bitch and whine everytime they are told to get out of their truck but fail to realize that they are violating the contract by working off the clock by setting up their loads and skipping their lunch. It seems that they think that they only have to follow the parts of the contract they chose. Then they wonder why management trys to do the same thing. The milkers need to be dealt with too but don't confuse milkers with people that are doing the job correctly. Besides...I figured runners would love milkers. Whenever our runners take a route that a slower person usually runs they usually smoke that route since the dispatch reflects the slower person. Management tends to overlook runners because those negative numbers on the OR make them look good. Everything is cool until one of the runners gets hurt or has an accident and that is when they tell the injured runner that they wouldn't have twisted their ankle, broken their leg, injured their back, or slipped and fell if they had been following the methods. Runners...SLOW DOWN! Milkers....STOP STEALING! [/QUOTE]
