[QUOTE="The Cardinal, post: 333259"] Trplnkl said: "now as far as the safety aspect, I can see a problem with incorrect weights on O/70s but doesn't our work methods tell us to test all packages for weight and possible shifting contents before actually lifting?". I agree with you totally but that my comrade that is in the perfect world. regrettably we are not in the perfect world . as a human we are trained to look at the label we position our body to lift it based on what the label weight tells us. we readjust at the moment we start to lift. Sadly but that's the real world. We can argue this from now till the end of time but stand at the end of box line or conveyor belt and see wow many preloaders, Drivers actually do that. If every one would do that you would not be able to leave the building till the next day. As far as covering myself, Like i said I have told my sups, Ctr mgr, and even count rep who mentioned that she/he received a call from a rep at receiving end of customer deliveries. I have done everything I can in my position as a driver. but I can never refuse to make the pu. that is not my decision to make. another suggestion I would like to make. how about attaching a sticker at the back of the truck that says " AUDIT" any thoughts [/QUOTE]
