It was pouring rain the other day and a couple of us drivers were waiting for it to let up a bit before going to our cars, a part timer came by and said something to the effect of he would run to his car if it was him, I said " we are union , we walk at a brisk pace around here" everyone laughed.

Start time: 8:45. On road 9:00-9:10.
I find it interesting that they just can't set up preload to finish by 8:45. Nope, 99% of the time cars are being loaded until close to 9:00. So instead of trying to start preload 15 minutes early, the center pays 45 drivers $50/hr each to help finish the $12/hr loading job.

Or they let preloaders leave before being wrapped up. Now they're paying drivers to wrap up.

The restrictions are usually due to feeders. I know our preload sup has gone all the way to the DM trying to get feeders in earlier, but they say it just isn't possible. I know our preload sat shut down twice this week for 10+ waiting for feeders. We are a small 1 belt center, so it can be tough to wrap on time when that happens.
The daily late air doesn't help either.

They even have the preload who's wrapped up by 0750 pull my pc out of the line up and away from the building so I can get going. Even let it idle to let the a/c cool it down. The pc gets hot in the building.
A/C in a PC?! I must be in the wrong region.

8:30 start and usually the truck isn't loaded until 9:00. When my trucks loaded right and doesn't have 5 misloads I like to go for bonus. When it's bricked out and loaded likeI walk every stop. Overtime pays the same as bonus.
Your post raises a lot of questions in my mind. First, I am surprised they haven't adjusted your start time. 30 minutes of AM time would not cut it in my center/district. Second, your performance should be the same regardless of the load.

My center manager was going ballistic over 10 mins of AM time for all the drivers a couple weeks ago.
Out by 750am??? friend@@k me =[ . I can barely leave by 920 with about 13 air daily.
Our preload goes down late everyday. We used to start at 8:30, moved back to 8:40, currently 8:55. Sometimes I still don't leave till 9:15 or later. Management will not move it back any later, as they need drivers to help wrap up so that it's air can get delivered on time. We have had the district Ops manager at our building frequently over the last year or so, and nothing has changed yet. I would dare them to start drivers later, as things would be even more of a cluster than they already are.
