[QUOTE="Preventable, post: 3833149, member: 62934"] I'm not saying offloading your truck would have avoided this, but this tells me you are at a weird station or are newer. Yeah a lot of times you need to unload your own truck, but at my station the guys who are like you usually just park and go home. Is your route not close to any drivers? By that time its hard to believe there was no help available. You could have done several things to protect yourself: Tell management/dispatch you are concerned with that 30 stops you had to take late in the day. As soon as you need to get to the point of the day where you need to start doing pickups start doing them and send dispatch a message saying you have 10 stops that you can't deliver and then they can send some one to grab them, give away your first couple pickups, or eat the DEX 1s/DEX 84s (pretty unlikely before thanksgiving). Don't offload your truck when you are that high on hours, especially if you haven't taken a break. I know all managers are different, and they might say something especially to a new guy or an under performing guy about it but take a 30 minute break. I went stretches of months as a full timer where I would take 30 minute breaks even over 8 hours, but I was running high SPH so it didn't seem like they cared... But even an inefficient courier would be right to laugh in a manager's face if they raised a stink about a short break in this situation. Sounds like you didn't want to burden any of your other fellow couriers, which is admirable but if you are a new guy and you guys are slammed people will understand having to come grab 10 stops off of you if they :censored: on you like they did in this scenario. Basically if you communicate early in the day, and put forth a good effort they can't really touch you for problems caused by late planes/understaffing/bad planning, you will learn. I'm not saying you need to play the system, but don't let them shift the blame for a bad day to you is the bottom line. [/QUOTE]
