1. Crawl through the pkg car to look for misloads before a required time so we can call them in.
2. Meeting someone that comes out to shuttle misloads.
3. Traffic Jams
4. Re taping or Re packing

Lets see how many we can come up with......:happy-very: keep them numbered!

OK, I hate to be so positive, but I feel I had a very fair 3 day ride. So, of course, everything that happened on that ride is included in my SPORH.
The things that were not included (because they didn't happen on those 3 days) are:

1. Delivering off-route misloads.
2. Meeting another driver to take/give work.
3. Meeting the air driver to dump reds.

I can generally average my SPORH on days when the above doesn't happen.
 
sorry for not following the number scheme but no one else was doing it so I lost count. Guessing 10.

11. making a second attempt on any package.

12. The time it takes to stop doing a delivery/pickup to respond to the "nag-light" before you can continue being productive...

Of course none of that happens when they ride with you, they make sure of that ahead of time. Just make sure you note that when they do your 3 day review..

Voiding a first attempt on a bad add when a second attempt is made...no credit for the first stop.

Stopping at a comm stop bet 12 and 1, not able to show an attempt.

Calling other drivers to set up meets, which the center should be doing, and not being compensated for the phone.

While it happens less now than it used to - filling out waybills, especially Int'l and doc's. We used to get a time allowance for waybills collected. Also double tripping back to the center. We are no longer allowed to code out double trips and have to eat it as on road time. There is even calling the brokerage hotline, although most drivers don't even bother - the first thing that happens is you get put on hold.

I guess I can chalk it all up to being paid per hour anyways, but I actually like to go home once in a while.

We still get credit for double trips in my center.
