Drivers cheating to tear up routes

[Cowboy Mac]

The process of getting jaded takes time. Just let nature take its course. Management will start piling on the stops and they'll be coming to take stops off some of the more "safer" drivers. First they may stop looking at the computer in the morning, then they actually might take a real break....and then, maybe actually take a dump on the clock. Eventually all this builds up and that last straw will turn them into the Teamster that's was dying to get out.

That or they lose their minds and shoot up the place.

Idc how long it takes someone else to finish a route. One guy might finish two hours quicker than me. The next guy might take two hours more than me. Im taking it one stop at a time regardless. If management thinks I'm taking too long then they can send me help.

when I point out that the off the the clock work is cheating yourself and his union brothers and sisters, they say that it’s their business. It irritates me.

If it irritates you that much, you can put a stop to it. Although, the Steward should not let this be happening.

This...

Put in a grievance. Can't work off the clock.

Article 17 NMUPSA

The Employer will not allow employees to work prior to their start time without appropriate compensation.

The nuclear option is a complaint to your state labor board. One thing the company hates more than anything is answering to government regulators. Ask to be kept anonymous as a whistle blower.

when I point out that the off the the clock work and speeding is cheating yourself and his union brothers and sisters, they say that it’s their business. It irritates me.

Grieve it you have more seniority than whoever is working
Extra work is offered in seniority order

Once it costs ups a few dollars it will stop
I’ve seen it happen

We have a couple newer drivers who brag about how much they’re under allowed. They come in early to set up their truck. One guy admits to speeding and justifies by saying he knows all the cops on his route, and when I point out that the off the the clock work and speeding is cheating yourself and his union brothers and sisters, they say that it’s their business. It irritates me.

Laugh 3 inches from their face when they get walked off/injured off the clock

Maybe they'll slow eventually but I knew guys who ran like that their whole careers. There's a guy in my old feeder group who was like that in package and still does the exact same thing in feeders, driving up and down the road at 100mph and doing everything he can to get off the clock in under 8 hours. He's got 27 years in so I doubt he's gonna change.

He will when he royally screws up a Class A road barge at that speed

That's what we all said, but he hasn't done it yet.

Give it time, then the will cry for union protection when the black box shows his stupidity

Exactly.

Do your job and mind your own business

Do your job and mind your own business

Trouble is, these runner-gunners burn it up, making management judge other drivers differently. Now, you will say, we don't pay attention to numbers. True, but who need the unnecessary attention?

And the runners, through their stupidity, get stops and pickups added to routes that were already barely dispatched fairly. Or worse. That makes it EVERY driver’s business.

You guys sound lazy, just pick up the pace and there won't be problems

Other than more stops and pickups added to us. But if you were capable of comprehending that you’d have caught on the first time I explained it.

Don’t go out of your way to talk to those people.
Just walk by their over dispatched truck and laugh, then head to your cushy 9.5 day and do a fair days work for a fair days pay.

If you want to argue with idiots your time is better spent in the current events section, not at work.
