[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 339434, member: 12570"] It is also important to hold drivers accountable. Preloaders are asked to do more and more in less and less time so misloads and damages will get by them and on to the pkg cars. Drivers must do what they can to make service on the misloads and either retape the damages to make them deliverable or bring them back to the bldg for rewrap or RTS. I was taught when I first started that if we caught damages before delivery and RTS we paid wholesale to the shipper but if we delivered it and then had to P/U on damage call tag we paid retail to the shipper but I don't know if this still holds true--perhaps someone can help me with this. However, and we have all done this, it is very frustrating when we take an obviously damaged pkg, write "Rewrap" on it and send it down the belt only to have it brought back up and loaded back on the car. I invariably take them for a ride and then sheet as damaged and bring in to the clerk at night. As I have stated before, I ask myself if I would want this pkg left at my front door and then act accordingly. [/QUOTE]
