[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1105136, member: 42691"] I'll try to get a copy and post it here of the rules. It was on Teamster letterhead, and is crystal clear. ALL LOADS MUST BE SECURED. Like all things management related, it is a convenience thing. If it is convenient, they'll do it. If not, they ignore it. Shear laziness. Here is another example I know every feeder driver here has witnessed. You go to close your trailer door, and you can see the load bar or load strap secured, BUT, another 15, 20, 25% loaded in front of the securement. I've gotten into some heated arguments with sups about this. My point always is, what good is a bar or strap, when another wall is built in front of it? Again, this is pure laziness. You know what happens. A ltl load gets put on the door to be topped off, and the loaders are to lazy, or in too much of a hurry to drop the bar or strap before they add onto the wall. How much time would it take to take it down and throw it at the back of the trailer? 30 seconds? Good thing we don't do our job this haphazardly. We would have problems, accidents and terminations...but that argument gets you nowhere in this company. [/QUOTE]
