[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 326055, member: 10234"] Here's the problem. A preload shift is allowed so much time to do the job. If they pay over that, the center gets dinged and the center manager catches it. Damages show up as a charge to the center.....but can be disputed. They can say the incoming load was a mess and damaged before it got there. They can play the "blame game" with damages, but they can't blame another center or hub for their overallow on the preload (except in a few cases -late load, etc.). All this chasing of numbers results in costs being shuffled around to other areas. Bottom line....a cost is a cost regardless of where it shows up on the reports. As a matter of fact, I would guess that the more shuffling that's done, the more costly it gets. For example: Instead of having a p/ter fix a damaged pkg, they load it out and force a driver to fix it before he delivers it (if he can). More costly? You bet! But......it looks good on paper!
