[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 854290, member: 5938"] [B][/B] You're a driver and I agree with what you say for your own position. As a preload employee, however, I feel that the unload should be catching these trashed pkgs and setting them aside to checked for damage and re-wrapped. We also were told that, until they were scanned, it was the hub at fault. Stopping them prior to scanning would at least help our own center although not the customer. Our next line of defense is the sort aisle. We have no room to set damages and the sups don't want to deal with anything that might slow us down. Scan and send them for the next guy to deal with. Leakers are our current nightmare. Don't touch, leave area and notify sup. Last week I told the sup of several pkgs with an unknown brown, slimy substance on them. "nothing I can do about it", as he continued to perform union work. I'm weary of trying to do what they say. From now on I'm not scanning them and putting them on the clerk belt. Let them deal with it. Only thing we can do is shut down the sytem to have them inspected and God forbid. Sups won't care if the clerk belt goes down, the pkgs will just back up and the poor clerks can deal with that later. Yes, they are aware that the slime will get on the belt and all other pkgs travelling down that belt. It's not their first day on the job. They just want the trouble out of their own area. Yep, rough week, this last one. As much as we try to care about doing the right thing they don't want to let us. I feel bad for the drivers who are faced with a decision as to whether or not to deliver the accordion pkgs. I often work in damages at the end of the shift. If driver start time is near sups come around and say "send it, don't waste time with it." If I "waste" time checking contents with the invoice they tell me to just stuff in what I have and send it on. Many years ago on the preload I had a long, thin pkg with a busted kite inside. Sent it to damages, next day it came back with one piece of tape, same kite. Showed driver and he initialed the label, wrote DAMAGED on it and sent it off. Next day it came back, another piece of tape, same kite. He took it back to damages himself and showed them the problem. Next day, yep, it came back with yet another piece of tape and same kite. Driver took off toward the office with it and I never saw that pkg again. Hate to imagine the hell he raised in there. I could go on longer but everyone has the experience to know how damages are handled. So I feel that actually, you drivers are the last line of defense and you'll be damned if you do/damned if you don't. [/QUOTE]
