[QUOTE="Harley Rider, post: 326488, member: 10872"] We have been shorthanded in the last few weeks so I went in to help with the preload. I can't believe the way that the trailers are being loaded nowadays. I use to wonder how we got so many damages.......... not anymore. There were more crushed and mutilated packages than I could count. Alot of these are due to faulty packing on the shippers part. Even more of them are due to the loaders part. Do they not care any more or are they having the packages come at them at such a rate that they cannot effectively load them? I also think that the current pay rate of a new p/t loader has alot to do with the equation. It's hard to hire someone that will gives a crapola about anything when you are paying them 8.50 to 9.50 an hour for back braking work. Would I go in to unload or load a trailer unless I was basically making 42.00 an hour at time and a half? I think not. [/QUOTE]
