We still get paid for running misloads. Maybe it is different in So Cal. If it is, maybe file a grievance so you get paid for running misloads.

Of course. In our building there is only one SPA. And if it wasn't a bad PAL then it was a misload and that goes to the preloader.
We have this happen all the time and it does get old. We are supposed to ODS in the misloads so service can be made and most drivers have stopped doing it until the end of the day because they don't want to have to go out of their way to deliver a misload. In some cases that 'out if the way' maybe 15 or 20 minutes 'out'.

All PAS personal who stick the labels on have to log into there machine so yes they can tell who put the PAL label on the wrong box. We have to turn ours in so they can tell who did it every time.There is some type of ID number on the bottom of the label along with the date and time it was scanned.

you are supposed to log in but in our building we have a supervisor who wants to save time,so he logs all the decap computers under his id. its funny when the preload or division manager comes up and says we have to the person with this id. and we all point to the supervisor because its his id. he has been warned but he still does it.

I guess no one gets in trouble at your building for bad slaps.

Sounds like Black River.
Dont bother, no one is held accountable for bad pals, either.

I stopped caring who/why/how these things happen anymore myself. I just control what I can in my own little world, work safely, and let someone else worry about the rest. I get paid to deliver boxes, be it mine or my neighbors, service is all we have to sell.

Are you not amused?
I hate more then a misload or a bad PAL is having an area miles away from my route, but losing the area that should be on my route.
ITs a huge waste of money in my building. On days I have areas I should not have and dont have areas I should I can do an extra 10 to 12 miles a day, burn more gas, more time, my sporh goes down.
The worst part, no matter how hard you try to fix it they just dont care, think of the money we could make if we tried to fix the problems. Oh wait making money is not a big deal, looking good on a piece of paper is what counts...................................... BUY UPS STOCK what could go wrong.

We had late freight yesterday and were on the belt wrapping up our cars. A pkg with "Bad Pal" written on it came down. Not one of the loaders or drivers bothered to read the address on the package to see where it should have been PAL'd. It came down by my car and I tried (twice) to hand it to the proper loader who told me (twice) that it was a Bad Pal. I told him to look at the address and all he could say was "Oh" and loaded it on the proper car.
This was an easy fix and it was like pulling teeth to get it on the right car.

Last week i sent in misload (had my PAL) that was an hour away but they still had me deliver it. They then send me a message asking "will you be in on time?" HAHAHAH

When PAS came to our building, we were told to double check PAL to package. No more. They don't have time. Mis-applied PAL's are getting warning letters for the SPA people. Not that they do anything about anyone who has a pile a paper in their file. I know people on Art. 7, who are still late and have a job. Go figure.

UPS has put blinders on our preloaders. They have no clue, anymore, how to look outside the box. They wouldn't know what an 'alpha chart' is if it bit 'em in the ass.

This is answers my question. I had no clue workers had to log into their machine.

One of the company's goals when they implemented PAS/EDD was to "de-skill" the preload operation. Unfortunately, they have succeeded. Preloaders are no longer paid to think...they are paid to generate a PPH metric on a report.

Yes basically if the process is done correctly they can track that bad slap back to who did it.
