[QUOTE="FeederTheD, post: 5441741, member: 101762"] I’m a new driver, about 30 days in now. Yesterday, dispatch had me shifting for about 9 hours. They let me know before I got to work that I would be doing a load after I was done shifting. I agreed to come in. The leg wasn’t in my IVIS until about 5 hours after my shift started. The whole time I had it in the back of my mind that I’m going to run a load early in the morning after I’m done shifting. Which I didn’t have a problem with. By the time my 9th hour hits (3:30am), dispatch messages me on shift comm telling me “go ahead and call it a night cya.” Mind you, I was up for almost 24 hours so I was tired, thought nothing of it and punched out. Soon as I got to the dispatch office to turn in my truck key, a girl in dispatch decides to call me out in front of everybody with an attitude and asks, “You know you still have a load on your board, right?” I told her, “dispatch messaged me on shift comm telling me to call it a night… that’s not my fault.” Her and the other 2 dispatchers tell me that it’s my fault and my responsibility to look and see if I have another leg before punching out. I continued to tell them it’s not my fault and they kept telling me it was. I just kept on telling them it wasn’t my fault. Then one of them asked me what my name was and wrote it down on a piece of paper. As if he’s gunna complain to upper management about me. Got a feeling I’m gunna hear from a sup about this tomorrow. I’ve been wanting to get into UPS for years and now that I’m finally in, I feel like I’m getting off on the wrong foot. I hate confrontation but refuse to let dispatch walk all over me. I’m afraid I might get let go because of this small altercation. What should I do? Wait and see how it plays out, or talk to a sup or the union? I don’t even know if I’m protected by the union all the way yet. I’m permanent full time, if that means anything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
