[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 502805, member: 11315"] I'll agree and disagree with your evaluation of my post. :happy-very: I agree with the pay being an issue. Low wages don't bring in the smartest or most competent employee. But something happens when you join the brown team. You realize that a career here will take care of you for the rest of your life. The money, benefits, pension are there for people who see past that $9.50 start rate. I disagree with you saying that misloads are NOT IMPORTANT enough to terminate for. If it costs the company every day to fix your screw up, it gets their attention. We both agree "Intent to Terminate" is a low ball effort to get results. I believe a little extra time to check labels is better. The fact is we both agree MISLOADS ARE IMPORTANT. They ruin a drivers day, sups running around WASTING gas shuttling packages, missed packages are basically lost revenue for UPS, as well as making the company look bad when we fail a customer. Should the guy get fired? Hell, no Should he understand how responsible (and important) he is in the chain of events? Yes Maybe I did make the post sound dramatic, but where did I lie? All I know is that preloading :thumbup1:is way better than being an unloading trailer monkey:thumbdown. His job could be in jeopardy but not his career. It gets pretty hot in thoses trailers in a couple months. [/QUOTE]
