That’s Craptacular
How do you know it was done intentionally...and not by mistake?

Doesn't management salt in most every operation? They even do it in feeders.
Hide the package under a load stand and they will search frantically for the package, tearing down walls looking through bags. Then pull it out when they're not looking and give the most innocent look.
Eventually they will figure it out.

Salt yes..but the salts usually don't go out on the cars...

You get to know your loader and the kind of misloads they do have...something out of the ordinary can be sometimes easy to spot. ..

Years ago, we were salted daily. I haven't been salted in honestly...3 or 4 years.

If drivers have questionable delivery practices,(rolling pkgs.,not attempting deliveries, etc.) it is a way to catch a driver for sure.they do salt in all operations though.

They follow this up with check-in audits.

Be thankful Automotive management hasn't attempted this method.

They salt reasonable misloads that can be delivered by you, without them being missed. No business or excessive miles. Easy fix, sheet everything, call everything in, delivery if reasonable, don't give these stupid sups ammunition for dishonesty

Never seen it. But I wouldn't be shocked. They would do it to see if driver would message it in

At driver start time PT sups are just throwing everything stacked behind the package car in. Not sure if you can call that an intentional misload or not.

I've always found it bizarre that mgmt would risk a service failure just to bust somebody

We had a loader tell us once that a salt had been loaded in a particular package car.
When they weren't paying attention, we took it and loaded in the car it would be in if it were a legitimate package and it was delivered.
When it wasn't reported as a misload by the driver they intended to salt, they were waiting like hyenas to bust him on a check-in audit.
When they couldn't find "the package", they finally asked him if he had come across it?
He then innocently told them, "I found it before I left and got it in the right truck".
Management had to go to a local hospital the next day and retrieve the package and explain the next day.
Priceless.

They are manufactured, un-billable bar codes.
Not real packages, no service failure possible.

How many days have you worked at UPS? UPS is building a case against that driver for a termination that will stick.
