[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 224822"] yeah thats happened here, except he left it in a wal mart parking lot (or a mall lot I forget which). most of our newbie drivers don't like it, though of course we cut routes like theres no tomorrow so all of our trucks are bricked out. There is no training route really. Also because they cut routes these guys don't really get a chance to learn. A friend of mine is doing well but they say he's not fast enough. The guy is in by 6/6:30 everyday...what are they expecting? No one really wants to go driving anymore, everyone is going for the 22.3's. Its because they basically want runners now (obviously they won't admit that outright because safety is our name) and these guys just aren't going to do it. I won't either. I'm on the heaviest pull in the building, I am guess they thought I was going to "run" well they were sorely mistaken. I do it right, load it tight and I don't wrap because of it. They ask why and I'm like hey you're running this place. The pull has a six hour plan and you want it done in under 5, you tell me why it isn't working. I'm not jeopardizing my health for this place, especially not for the chump change I make here. While drivers make more, its still not worth it if you're hurt. They tell you to follow all the methods but its impossible to get it done when they want you done, if you follow those methods. They don't follow them either here, double teaming the slide and the trailers in the unload are not in the methods. I can understand if its an emergency but this happens everyday now. I'm not supposed to keep up with six sorters on the slide (we normally have 3)...not to mention some of them are supes and I am going to start grieving them. I've had it with how horrible this operation runs. They can no longer claim lack of staffing (for a while they justifiably could) as HR says we're fully staffed. [/QUOTE]
