[QUOTE="Tough Guy, post: 1169589, member: 47811"] The regrettable truth is that when you hire new hires at 8.50 an hour, don't require drug testing, or any interview of any sort, you're going to, generally, attract a certain character of person. And in addition to that, there is virtually no training other than "this the number, this the truck, this is the shelf. Good luck". So you mix those two factors and you've got some crappy loads waiting for you. Personally, I'm one of the "good ones". My first year I loaded almost every trip in the center, and most in the building. But I made a really good impression on my sups, and the drivers, and earned myself a permanent spot. (2 years in now) Now I split and do just 1 car. That one car is a bear though. typically has 400 - 500 pieces, and maybe 1 or 2 days of the week 500 - 600. But I introduced myself to the driver the first day I did his trip, explained what was where, and if there was anything special he'd like for particular addresses. The truck still is blown out everyday, but he said I save him at least an hour from what it was before. (they went through 3 or 4 guys regularly before he complained about crap loads, and they put me there as the solution). The guys I loaded regularly before him (when they weren't cut) were singing the blues when they took me off their trucks. Now they get the guy who I replaced at the top. LOL But, my point is, unfortunately most guys just don't give a damn, or aren't trained to perform to satisfactory standards. [/QUOTE]
