[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 443977, member: 13254"] I agree with what you have said in part. It is true that with some loaders you do not give them the incentive to become better at their job. However there are some that "suck" at it and have for a long time and are not going to do any better regardless of what a driver does or doesn't do. For instance, the route I have been covering off and on for the past three months. The day before yesterday, I had 4 off area misloads and the load was a mess, I wrote him up. Yesterday, the load wasn't as bad but the pkg count was down by 50. I did a quick spot check before the loader left and found an off area misload. When I pointed it out to him he said it was because he had extra cars to load. Good enough excuse I suppose, but this is a pattern for going back to summer. The wins with this loader are one day at a time. As for those that say, : why worry about your load being messed up, the longer you are on the clock the more money you make". This is a true statement, however everyone isn't driven by the dollar alone. I would rather make a little less money, have a good day and get home in time to spend some time with my wife, that's why I married her. It's pretty simple to me, if I work a 1/2 less today, that is a 1/2 hour I get to snuggle with my Lady, before I pass out from exhaustion. [/QUOTE]
