[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 709803, member: 4653"] I really don't know the answer to your question, but my guess would be they won't fire you for misloads. How about this solution to your problem? Why don't you just don't misload any more? I understand people make mistakes, but 6/day every day?? I get 1-2 misloads a day, EVERY day. At this level its not a case of human error, its just pure lazyness and not paying attention to detail. UPS is 50% to blame. They took the "mind" out of it with PAS. "Now we can get anybody off of the street and have them on a pull the next day". How is that working out for you UPS? Probably about the same as that "hopey changey thing" is working out for the American people with Obama. Before PAS I would get about 1 misload a week because the preloader knew the addresses and actually had to think which car it went on. Now, they just look at the PAL and put it where it says. Problem is, they're walking into the wrong car 6 times a day. Also, now because of PAS I have brilliant preloaders that will put a zone of 25 packages on the shelf and then throw 30 house-calls on the floor because he has no room left on the shelf in which he put 25 package for one stop???? How does this company make any money? They are so tight when it comes to labor on the preload. Once the drivers get on the belt, the preloaders are cut loose. Why not keep the preloaders there at 9.50/hour to get the driver out quicker? The driver is making $44/ hour to do a job that can be completed by someone making $9.50/hour just so the preload can make its numbers. They push and push production on the preload. My question becomes: WHY? UPS is getting its labor for as close to minimum wage and slave status as pratically possible. Why not push service? Why not? Let's slow the preload down a notch. Let's start them a few minutes early and push service. If you think about it, 1 driver taking 30 minutes to deliver 1 misload costs about 2 hours+ in preload labor. Why look to cut minutes on the preload? If it were my business it would be the driver labor force in which I would "pinch minutes" . If we slow them down and they are still misloading then I would go back to cracking the whip and look for another solution to the misload problem. These are my thought at least... [/QUOTE]
