I'm still laughing at the U Piece of smile* line.
I have to laugh at the idea of calling other drivers to help you without getting management involved. I have in my possession one Certified Warning Letter stating that this is totally against company policy. Delivery Drivers DO NOT have the right to dispatch themselves. The company will always go out of their way to make a hard job harder.Going back to the original point of this thread, it is my thought process that mgt believes that the driver in question has become used to having help on this stop (I assume it is a P/U) and they are trying to get him to step up and do his own work. In our center, we are also asked to let mgt know if we can help or if we need help and it is always the same drivers either offering or asking for help. They know that I am always available to help but, as was pointed out earlier, helping on a regular basis may lead to that work being added to your route on a permanent basis. We have 5 drivers who deliver in the city and we all have each others' cell phone numbers and we call each other if we need and/or offer to help, bypassing mgt.
As far as the driver pawning off work, we have one of those here too. It is amazing how the power of peer pressure has put an end to his pawning.
