How many of you posting on here have sat down face to face with the sups to discuss the dispatch concerns?I ask this only because I hear a few drivers I work with that voice displeasure to each other about it but never take it up with management.I only know how it is in the 3 or 4 buildings I've been in,but I do know that the sups I work with don't have the choice of how many loads are sent out.There have been numerous times when cars have been broken after already loaded by the preload due to drivers calling in sick or someone way higher up told the building sups to cut loads.It's very frustrating to an oncar-sup and a center manager to be handed that scenario with less than an hour before drivers are scheduled to leave the building.What they are left with is not many inviting alternatives.They can try to take some of the overflow themselves,but inevitably there will be the one driver who darn well never wanted any extra work to begin with that will file a grievance against the sup for performing union work.What my sups are usually left with is to go to the guys that have a track record of handling the heavy dispatch.The last thing my bosses want to do is risk alienating the most proven performers and they hate it coming to that point,but sometimes to get half the tasks that they have to get done in a day without having to go on/road themselves is to take the path of least resistance.Higher dispatches were here for a good deal of the summer and there was a real spike in July right around the time many of those year long contracts that many shippers signed with FedEx ran out,but once the vacations peaked there have been more loads built.Has there been a pattern over the years at certain times or is this the 1st dose of the heavy dispatches for any of you?Some of the start times I'm reading in these posts are just pathetic.Where I am,if you are really heavy they will many times let you get on the road as soon as the car is loaded,at least.
